U.S. officials - Israel wants up to $5 billion in annual military aid

Yes, the lack of logic that involves giving money to an active enemy of the US. Must trully be painful. Perhaps if you adopted a more logical world view the pain would subside?

 

Going into further detail requires a separate thread.

 

No it doesn't.

 

Yes it does.

 

My, such a simplistic, uninformed view... Here, from your own Government:

Foreign Assistance in Israel

The United States' commitment to Israel's security, including to maintaining its qualitative military edge (QME), is a longstanding cornerstone of U.S. policy in the Middle East. The U.S. is committed to ensuring that Israel is able to defend itself against a wide range of conventional and unconventional threats. Broad issues surrounding Arab-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli peace continue to be a major focus of the U.S.-Israeli relationship. U.S assistance to Israel is aimed at ensuring that Israel is sufficiently secure to take the historic steps necessary to reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians and for comprehensive regional peace.

Now, wanna tell me why do we provide foreign aid to Saudi Arabia, a country that admittedly raised terrorists responsible for 9/11?

 

Lol...The Jews invented chutzpah, after all.

 

How much aid does the US give Saudi Arabia or have you twice overlooked my posts?

 

Not much Margot, but we do. For anti-terrorist training.

Half a billion American dollars going annually to Palestinians is a much better investment, right?

 

1.4 million.............

 

Why do we give Saudis any money, Margot? These $1.4m could buy us 100ft of border wall...

 

we should withdraw all aid to Israel, until they stop seizing Arab private land and stop building in the settlements.

there is more than enough land inside israel to build housing.

 

But the settlers are racist sectarians that think everything to the Tigris belongs to Israel. NOT stealing land doesn't expand Israel's territory.

What we need to do is end all aid to Egypt and Israel, end all monetary aid to Palestine but increase our humanitarian aid 4X, give that $8B to Jordan and give the YPG and KRG heavy weapons and money but only on the condition that they operate as a single force.

 

Unless the Israelis maintain control over a large section of the West Bank, Israel is undefendable.

Like trying to defend Washington D.C. if you had to give Maryland to ISIS.

 

Please could you provide some details on this.

 

The reason for money given to Egypt is to pay to keep the Gaza /Egypt border secure. Nothing to do with a peace deal between Israel and Egypt other than keeping that border secure.

 

Our on house is failing apart first off they don't need 7 billion dollars from us tax payers. Why give money to them in order for them to use it for military purposes and kill more civilians than Hamas soilders. And I don't buy that Hamas is firing from their location so we have too bomb civilian areas as an a excuse for their war crimes. So what if she is an ally anyway she's a ally of convenience.

 

Why do we give Palestinians half a billion dollars a year?

 

I don't think anyone should get military aid money, when we could spend that money here man improving our own counties system. Sorry about the grammar I on my new iPhone 6s and still getting use to it.

 

cause they are suffering, unlike Israel

 

And yet you're complaining about Israel getting foreign aid and refusing to complain about Palestine? Right.

Congrats on your new phone

Suffering? Opening new fashion boutique in the middle of "refugee camp" is suffering?

 

Gaza City isn't a refugee camp.

and yes, the Palestinians suffer every day under racist laws, land theft, etc

 

Really?

When did Isreal become the garantor of a canal in Egypt?

 

Since the wars with Egypt began. A Canal is not safe when there are tank battles happening around it.
