How dare I speak her name. The United States NOR Canada, for that matter, should be sending money that they're borrowing to fund an arms race overseas. Agree? Disagree? No more bitchin'.
Everyone knows we need to quit spending so much but god forbid anybody sacrifice anything!! I also think it's bullshit that they think we need to cut spending but NOT spending over seas. Uhh....how bout we cover OUR OWN ASSES first?? As the Bible itself says, why worry about the splinter in your brother's eye and ignore the beam in your own eye? Sorry Israel, we have shit in our own home to worry about. We need to fix ourselves before we go trying to fix the rest of the world. It really has nothing at all to do with Israel, I actually think we need to vastly cut ALL foreign aid regardless of what country it is. Not quite sure why we/our children have to be obligated to support the rest of the world
I am sick and tired of hearing about why I should care so damn much about Israel. Israel is basically the troll of world politics. They go out and do all this grandstanding, but then when it flies back in their face they bitch. Then when others decide they may stop funding their trolling, they bitch. Aka, when people decide the troll in the forum has gotten enough attention, so it spontaneously combusts in rage.
Wait, let me guess, Rand Paul is an anti-semite? Oh wait, next month he'll be drawn up on rape charges?
I remember when Ben Stein called Ron Paul an anti-semite simply for suggesting that the US should close some of it's foreign bases. Lol he didn't even mention Israel.
We get to take credit for those sexy new apartment complexes that where constructed on top of previously occupied land.
The point has been made that American money should be spent in America and not sent to Israel to aid them in their war.. but IMHO this thread looks like it may become just another anti semite thread. Don't hate, appreciate.
the national debts so high and were still buying weapons for all these other countries wtf? its one thing if israel is buying our weapons, but giving them money to buy our weapons, wtf is going on here.
call me crazy but i see little to no morality in funding a state demonstrating genocidal tendencies, border expansion/colonization, nuclear warfare, etc...
oh sorry, i guess the infiltration of the gaza strip and brutal massacre of it's occupants doesn't qualify
Yeah, it's not like Palestinians launched over 8,000 rockets at Israeli civilians and broke multiple ceasefires to precipitate that or anything.
Israel is the only true pro-us ally in the Middle East. I'm sure the US and Canada don't want to give Israel funds but they have no choice if they want a foothold in the region.
