(Reuters) - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signed a letter of application for Israel to join the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Israeli Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday. More than 40 countries, including Australia, South Korea, Britain, France, Germany and Italy, have said they would sign up to the AIIB, with Japan and the United States the two notable absentees. China set a March 31 deadline to become a founding member of the AIIB, an institution that could enhance Beijing's regional and global influence. Washington initially tried to dissuade its allies from joining the AIIB, seeing it as a challenge to the World Bank and Asian Development Bank over which the U.S. exerts considerable influence, but changed tack after many signed up for it. http://news.yahoo.com/israel-applies-join-china-backed-aiib-investment-bank-114526360.html?_lf=highestRated&.show_comments=1#comments Unreal. Definetly a slap to the face. Israel just turned their back on the same country that is functioning as not only their sugar daddy, but also their attack dog. The bottom line is they just follow the money. Much more could be said about this, but anyone who does will be called anti-Semitic....
Is there some law or agreement that prevents US allies from joining other banks? Obama has weakened America's influence on the world and now Washington is surprised all of a sudden?
If you knew your history you would know why this is bad. Israel Just Used The U.S and Left them. You should get informed. Then Find out how bad the situation is instead of posting ignorant comments like that.
He ain't kissing it now - http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/04/03/state-department-rejects-call-for-iran-deal-to-affirm-israel-right-to-exist/ I'm sure there are many American politicians linning up to rim Natanyahu. It's not over until we know we're past the "Hot Carl" part of the ritual.
Other close allies like Australia and Britain joined too. Is this threadworthy just because Israel is involved or?
But then you just said Australia and Britain did the same thing and this wasn't thread worthy. So why is it bad for America?
Why make a thread just about Israel when dozens of other countries did the same. This signals a new era of America's influential decline.
