I'm tired of these "representatives of the people" tearing our country apart, all the while paying off other nations. We can't fix our infrastructure, take care of our vets, educate our children, feed our homeless, etc. But we can afford to hand another $3 billion to Israel?!?!?

Where were you when they were handing out TRILLIONS in bailouts to the elite?
When you think about this, in comparison, we're talking about chump change for Israel.

I can only think of one reason why Israel and Egypt get funds when we can't pay the rent back home.
We're cutting military spending which would mean that any kind of military actions would need to be incredibly essential as the undertaking is extremely costly. So, with the white house cash strapped, who is going to take care of Iran?
Israel. So we give her some money.
But, wait, if we do that, and other Arab nations cry foul, who will stand up for Israel and diffuse the potential backlash?
Egypt will, if we give them money.
The only thing I can think of is bribes and hush money on an epic scale.
Israel will then use that money to purchase the tools required to remove Iran's reactors. Egypt will turn a blind eye, leading other Arab nations because, for the most part, other than Syria, Iran is lacking in the ally department anyway.

This is ridiculous, but not as ridiculous as the 190 million we're giving the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt

I see you don't post any articles about how much of our money goes to Egypt, Palestinians and other terrorists around the World...
I'd like to see every single dollar that goes to Izlam redirected to Israel...
But I wonder why to center upon Israel when the cash gets spread around the middle east?

I need to mention something to all of those are are mentioning Egyptian aid...
Sure, Egypt sucks, and are not what I would call strategic friends of the USA.
But...
The amount of aid USA gives Egypt does not compare what Israel gets on a yearly basis and the aid that Egypt gets is to stay in line and follow Israel's roll.
It's not like the US is giving aid to Egypt for Egypt, every penny is for Israel's benefit.
Come on guys, wake up.
And must I mention Israeli attacks on the USA?
Let's not allow this to continue and blame other messed up countries, scapegoats have no positive outcome other than false blame and misdirected justice.

It is political career suicide to mention these things.
A lot of the people who expose these things end up dead by fake suicide.
That's why all the politicians clapped to Netanyahu's speech that one night, it was sickening.edit on 3/4/2013 by Corruption Exposed because: (no reason given)
