US Congress approves Israel aid increase 27 Jun 2008 The US Congress has approved a 170 million dollar increase in security assistance to Israel as part of its new 10-year, 30 billion dollar 'defense' aid commitment to the Jewish state. The money for Israel was part of a larger supplemental spending bill that included 162 billion dollars for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. America's pro-Israel lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, welcomed the congressional action, saying it would increase US aid to Israel to 2.55 billion dollars in fiscal year 2009, up from 2.38 billion dollars this year.
Why do we need to send 30 billion dollars a year to strongest military power in that region, a nuclear power to boot.? If their economy was so strong and their Theocracy so solid, why would they NEED this money? Why would they also NEED and RELY on the 100 billion dollars a year the the Jewish diaspora sends to them? Their state and their economy have been carried for years by outsiders, mainly the United States. Just as South Africa had gold and other minerals to keep it afloat as long as it could without help, Israel needs to be connected to the world and integrate its economy to make it viable. Cuba is another example of this. They have integrated their economy with the rest of the world(never mind that we are the only country that still does not)and now have the lowest environmental impact of any country in the world. They also afford universal health care for their citizens. WOW. We really dont need to boycott Israel to bring down its Theocratic Fascist Genocidal government. All we have to do is stop our government from sending Israel its monthly WELFARE CHECK.
