If we're hard up for cash we should not be making "donations" to anyone other than ourselves.
WE CANNOT REMAIN SILENT, WE MUST NOT KEEP QUIET... ISRAEL NEEDS US MORE THAN EVER!
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:1-3
Israel is facing some of the most serious threats in her history. Therefore, it is imperative that American Christians be equipped to defend Israel in our classrooms, churches and communities. With your support CUFI will be able to educate more Christians about the Biblical and moral imperative to stand with Israel. With your support more Christians will be able to stand up and speak up for Israel in her time of need.

For some perspective:
journalistsresource.org...#
To date, the United States has provided Israel $115 billion in bilateral assistance. It is currently the second largest recipient of aid worldwide, with Afghanistan now first.
The fiscal year 2013 budget request “includes $3.1 billion in Foreign Military Financing [FMF] for Israel and $15 million for refugee resettlement. Within the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Missile Defense Agency’s FY2013 budget request includes $99.8 million in joint U.S.-Israeli co-development for missile defense.”
More at the source.
If you read that page and can put it all together, Israel gets a huge amount from the USA in total.
Apparently Afghanistan gets even more than Israel, will they be faced with cuts?

Even with all the cuts that have been proposed, the Israeli lobbyists are doing their best to make sure they don't lose out on any of their welfare money.
[There is so much that is wrong with this picture. The United States needs to stop unconditionally supporting Israel and start supporting it's own citizens. My government (Canadian) are guilty of this too but the aid we send is far less in comparison but we have plenty of "Israel firsters" such as Stephen Harper and John Baird.
Anyways, I thought I would get this news out there so perhaps my American friends can contact their representatives and voice their concern.edit on 3/4/2013 by Corruption Exposed because: Adjust title

The money is not a blank check, however. The US requires that Israel spend at least 75% of the money given in military aid with US military contractors, effectively using the foreign aid budget to subsidize domestic weapon-makers.

I wouldn't be so sure. It's amazing how 190 billion dollars can force someone to look the other way.
It's $190 Million, a tiny fraction of what we give Israel. I know it sounds like a lot, but it isn't.
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood leadership's loyalties have not been tested yet, but they have openly called for the destruction of Israel.
I'll bet you, that if there is war with Israel and other Muslim countries in the region, Egypt will not look the other way, they wont be able to.

I can tell all of you NOT ONE PENNY will be taken from Israel's funding.
NOT ONE PENNY
Part of the agreement of Israel receiving the 3 Billion is that 75% , MUST be Spent to buy US made Armaments.
To Not send the Money , would take away Jobs here in the US, not going to happen.news.antiwar.com...
