The US needs to get out of foreign aid and never should have been there in the first place.

 

Yes, I do. You are insinuating you have the right to my money if you feel there is a problem instead of putting your money where your mouth is and fixing it yourself. I don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) what your reasons are.

 

Israel will always get foreign aid, loans and grants to cover the principle and interest on the loans.

What the US could do and should have done long ago is put some terms and conditions on their welfare.

 

No doubt! I dont know how people can justify this.
US Financial Aid to Israel -

http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/175869-israel-ask-u-s-20-billion.html

You might want to check your numbers about how much Israel buys from the US.

 

So the Grand Total for Israel per your sources is $84 Billion in 60 years.
(app 1.4 Bil per year)
Quite a Bargain really for keeping US interests in the area (Most spent back in the USA, and too much humintel, tech reciprocity, etc to count).

We spent $100 Billion in ONE and EVERY YEAR trying to make an Arab country, Iraq, a Democracy.
A little persepective helps I think.

And congrats on that handle- you should be very popular here with your partcular anti-israel posts.
There seem to be so many anti-ahem-zionists-here.

 

We can't afford to lend any country money and we know this. What do they think we are? A failed lending institution like AIG? We are broke. Sheesh.

 

Those figures don't include loans to Israel or the grants that cover the principle and interest on the loans.

We dont get anything from Israel.. Never have.

http://www.politicalforum.com/latest-world-news/175869-israel-ask-u-s-20-billion.html

 

Its NOT about buying from the US, its aboutDemocracy and excellect treatment of women in the ME.

 

You want to forcibly change their culture, traditions and religion??

Good luck with that.

 

But all-in-all it's a modest number for 60 years.
(Unrefuted)

and We/the USA are promoting OUR interest with that money.

What do we get for the Korean War and 60 years of Troops there?
Tell us Margot?
For giving 2/3's as much to Egypt?

Anything like THIS?

Hiding Israel'S Contribution To The U.S. Military
January 8, 2004

For years, Israel has been America's secret weapon in defending the interests and lives of Americans for the United States. The problem is that, while the U.S. wants and needs Israel's assistance in securing (Huminit) on-ground Intelligence about what Arab Terrorists and Arab Rogue Nations nations are planning against America, it does not want to admit that Israel is its irreplaceable source for deep Intel. Israel reluctantly accepts this policy because America is Israel's ally and friend but, resents this effort to appease Arab nations.

General George Keegan (now deceased), head of America's Air Force Intelligence unabashedly and repeatedly stated publically during his life that: "Israel is worth 5 CIAs" with respect to the Intelligence passed to their American counterparts. This wasn't intended as an insult to the CIA but, rather that Israel needed and was capable of deep penetration into Rogue Arab nations and Terror cells whom the CIA will never reach.

Some may recall the extraordinary assistance Israel rendered to America's military as they were mobilizing their forces to invade Saddam's Iraq in 1990. Israel briefed America's Military Intelligence on what they had learned through Israeli agents planted deep in Iraq's regime.

Additionally, Israel provided an air umbrella of their aircraft giving cover for the vulnerable incoming air cargo as part of the Desert Shield build-up to Desert Storm. Believe me, it wasn't the Saudi Air Force that was called upon to protect U.S. transport aircraft carrying American soldiers for the 6 months needed by our reluctant foot-dragging Colin Powell (then head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) to prepare for the war with Saddam.`

During the first Gulf War, Desert Storm which began January 16, 1991, Israel had rescue units planted in the Iraqi deserts to pick up downed American or Israeli pilots (who were prepared to fight) should they be hit by Saddam's SAM missiles. As it turned out, Israeli pilots were forcibly kept on the ground because Bush and Baker refused to give Israel the (IFF) code frequencies that identified Friend from Foe - lest it offend Syria and Egypt.
[......][........]
One could go back further in Israel's assistance to her ally, America, when she captured Soviet missile systems, radar systems and planes - all of which were sent back to America for inspection. Billions of dollars would have been spent on reverse engineering to learn how to defend against them had U.S. industry NOT had the captured Soviet equipment which Israel sent to America. Israel's assistance shortened the number of man-hours and money to develop counter-measures against Soviet technology, missiles, radar frequencies and more. Israel, despite her minuscule size, gave back to her ally, America, more than any other nation and, regrettably, receieved the back of a diplomatic hand in order to appease Saudi Arabia.

Israel developed aircraft disposable fuel containers, allowing fighter aircraft to extend their flying and fighting range. As I recall, the 'Thank You' they received from then Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, was the transfer of this technology to Saudi Arabia and Egypt - despite America's promise to Israel not to. Weinberger, like Baker, was well known for his visceral hatred for the Jewish State - not to mention his (their) connections to Arab oil nations which is still on-going.

The homily: "No good deed goes unpunished" comes to mind when it comes to appreciating Israel's assistance to its ally, America. The American people have always supported Israel and Israel has always been truly grateful for their support. Regrettably, Israel usually believed that the various Administrations also supported Israel - when, in fact, the Arabist U.S. State Department and some high ranking politicians, who had unholy cash ties to Arab nations, often ran a different and pro-Arab foreign policy.

I recall when the American M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank, then in first production, using a turbine engine was failing in every phase of its construction. It sucked up sand; its suspension could not take the punishment; its bearings ate sand; its firing systems on the run were inadequate, etc. Then they called upon Israel's Gen. Israel Tal, who had fathered the Merkava to assist in de-bugging the M1A1 ...
[.......]
Israel has developed the Arrow missile system, funded in part by U.S. grants. This is the first and only reliable system that can encrypt incoming missiles with a high degree of probable hits. The U.S. has spent hundreds of Billions of dollars in trying to develop local operational intercept missiles but, nothing matches the Israeli Arrow. This system will be bonded with an American manufacturer (Boeing) for production in the U.S. Here again, this tiny country of Israel has proven to be a giant contributor to the American military.

Israel has been the first and most competent developer of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), now used by America's Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force in battle. These UAVs were especially effective in Kosovo and Iraq. UAVs now being developed for local production in America or Europe often costing twice to five times the Israeli systems.

Presently, American troops are being trained by Israelis on fighting techniques in urban combat, saving American lives...."

We don't get anything from Israel to offset our expenses.

We stated paying Egypt to be nice to Israel in the mid 1970s.. just like we pay Turkey to be Israel's only trading partner.

Israel has been an albatross and the source of much conflict in the ME..

In return for US money.. Israel gave us the Lavon Affair and the attack on the USS Liberty.

 

Wrong.

In addition to paying Egypt and Turkey to make nice with Israel, we are still paying for the refugee populations they created in 1948, 1956, 1967 and 1973.......

Israel has cost us in Lebanon as well as in Jordan.. and the damage they have done to our interests in the ME are incalcuable.

 

We'll get to refugees in a moment-- control your hostility, anti-Israel spaghettti at the wall- any bashing will do.

We are talking about aid, how much it isn't on a relative basis and what's been done for it Relative to other foreign policy expenditure of the USA.

You could Not answer on Korea or Iraq either. The biggies.
What did they do?

As a proud Israeli I must say that I am not going to respond to this deliberate badmouthing of my patrimony...

Of course the person from S. Arabia can say what she wants with impunity...

We know what we are, we believe in what we do...

Due to the hate generated here I would suggest that this person abstains from using Israeli product...

Israel caused the Suez crisis in 1956 because of the Lavon affair..

Here's a list of Israeli massacres.

And not only that, they tracked mud through the house.

 

I pay (lots of) taxes and I would approve of sending the money to israel as they always pay it back ten-fold in other benifits. Israel is a great nation and I consider them our number one ally, even over the UK.

 

Israel has NEVER repaid any loan...

Nor has Israel ever been a dependable ally.

 

You're absolutely wrong. Israel has alway repaid America in return for some money, and I am more then willing to see my tax dollars head to Israel. I would post what Israel has done for America but you would just ignore it like you always do and have done many times in this thread alone. Truth is, Maggot, you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

How exactly has Israel "repaid the US taxpayer"???
