If that's true,then Israel should not accept "AID" from the US taxpayers or anyone else for that matter?????steve
I'd be all fine with that one, in fact I think its a great idea. But that won't close the matter will it?
Next we'll hear whining about "why is the USA allies with Israel anyhow?" So you see, it never ends. Behind this transparent guise, it boils down to one thing...ANTI SEMETISM.
This whole "anti Zionism" is just a big charade for Jew haters to vent their hate, which is why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. correctly said it many years ago, "when people speak of being anti Zionism, you're talking anti Semetism".
Which is why the US aid to Israel won't stop, ever.
Well Roudy,I certainly am not ANTI SEMETIC in any way,what American tax payers/Government do with their money is up to them....it's their Money.
But I would point out a few truths....since 1949 the American Tax Payer has given over $14 Trillion(close to the US current deficit) in "AID" to Israel!!!!!!!!!!!! and rising,this is an enormous amount of money to a country with a population of appox 12 million today,obviously a much smaller population during the interceding years.
Today the American Tax Payer is giving Israel over $8.5 Million per day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!much of it for Arms (of which 25% is for Israeli manufactures,of which the Israelis export world wide)
The American public are generally ignorant of the enormity of the money given to Israel.....but Israel have gotten much more that the $14 Trillion from countries like Germany(Who are still paying Israel War Reparation after 60 years!!!!!)
As I have clearly stated I believe in a free and peaceful Palestine and Israel......one of the very few on here I may add.
It would after all this time be more prudent,to bring a negotiated settlement to the Pal/Is schism and move forward to a happier time for both these Traumatized peoples.
I really dislike this Anti Semetic one liner which a lot of Pro Israeli folk seem to enjoy using...but the most Anti Semetic prose on here is blatently used against the Semetic Palestinians.
Anti-Semitism(A Nasty Form of Racism) in all it's forms is BOLLOCKS.steve
By the way Anti Zionism is Not Anti Jew/Semetic at all......Dr King(Wonderful Man he was..RIP)was not correct in everything he said.
