this is a tough one.. why does America redirect Muslim Money To Israel ?
U.S. Financial Aid To Israel: Figures, Facts, and Impact Summary Benefits to Israel of U.S. Aid Since 1949 (As of November 1, 1997) Foreign Aid Grants and Loans $74,157,600,000 Other U.S. Aid (12.2% of Foreign Aid) $9,047,227,200 Interest to Israel from Advanced Payments $1,650,000,000 Grand Total $84,854,827,200 Total Benefits per Israeli $14,630 Cost to U.S. Taxpayers of U.S. Aid to Israel Grand Total $84,854,827,200 Interest Costs Borne by U.S. $49,936,680,000 Total Cost to U.S. Taxpayers $134,791,507,200 Total Taxpayer Cost per Israeli $23,240 Currently Israel makes up .005% population of the planet and yet they receive fully 1/3 of all American Foreign aide.. wait there is more.. The Bush Administration from 2001-2005 Borrowed more money from foreign governments than every administration prior..combined ! http://www.house.gov/tanner/press109-050.htm Much of it from Muslim Nations..ie Saudi Arabia?.. I'm sure I am not the first to put this together..what's up to my obtuse brother on the second answer.. The United States.. OK? clearly I was referring to the US as I spoke of our current administration, but I know how much you hate for your peas to mix with your corn.. so there Ivri.. That is false.. and I am appreciative of your regional history lesson, but you conveniently missed my point completely. The fact that The Suadi's are a Muslim run country.. it is the religion of the land. They are not secular and they have laws written around prayer practices.. thus their main thrust is that of a "muslim' nation. The path that Israel has taken and the land that the Palestinians now occupy is a non issue? why would you go into that tangent I have no idea.. But the fact remains that the money from countries Like Dubai, and Saudi Arabia should end up in the hands of the Israelis is a huge Irony..no? kingstubborn That is my Point.. capitalism is the true religion of the world and in fact Judaism, Islam and Christianity are all pre-occupations for the masses so the rich can get richer.. http://www.wrmea.com/html/us_aid_to_israel.htm actually I do make sense..

We should leave Israel alone. Let them take care of themselves, as it's not our place to bother (or help) them.

America does no such thing, that is the United States that you are speaking off, you see, there is no such a thing as ‘American’ nationality, America is not a nation America is a continent with many nations in it. The US never named itself the name of the United States is a designation it comes from the end of the Declaration of Independence, "WE, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS, Assembled...". The preamble to the U.S. Constitution reiterated the phrase: "We the People of the United States..." (The authors of these two documents probably used the phrase "united states" in place of a list of colonies/states because they remained uncertain at the time of drafting which colonies/states would sign off on the sentiments therein.) The geographic term "America" specifies the states' home on the American continent. It is therefor incorrect to refer to US citizens as Americans with the intent of denoting citizenship, or the United States as America with the intent of denoting a nation. Americans have a term for US citizens, we are called United Statesians by the rest of Americans, to say American with the intent of denoting citizenship or America when we mean the United States reflects poorly on our attitude towards the 70% of Americans that are not United Statesians. Also, although some people would like to believe that America is not one but two continents North America and South America. If you think about it though the term U.S. of A. is a glaring example that this line of thought is incorrect, if America was two continents instead of one, shouldn’t it be U.S. of N.A. (North America)? We say Columbus discovered..... ? AMERICA, not South America or North America. Hope that helps.

I think it's useless to still ask: Why does bush do so and so... A friend of mine had a retarded kid, and I never asked them, or myself, why he did this or that. But i have to say he wasn't violent though.

SO that Israel has control. Why else ?

You didn't subtract the aid given to Palestinians and to other Muslim countries. If those countries object to US-Israeli nations, then they shouldn't loan the US money and they can re-direct their cash to Hamas. They loan the US money because it profits them through reliable interest payments. To me it looks like Muslim leadership is simply doing a con job on the people in the street and don't really mind that Israel is there.

Yeah, real tough!! There is no such thing as Muslim money, so your entire thesis makes no sense. You might have asked a serious question, such as Are the Palestinians native to the land where Israel now exists? "The fact is that today's Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I grew up well knowing the history and origins of today's Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Christians from Greece, Muslim Sherkas from Russia, Muslims from Bosnia, and the Jordanians next door. The civil and tribal wars between Yemenites (from Yemen) and Kessites (from Banu Kais of Saudi Arabia) ... are well known among Palestinians. "My grandfather, who was a dignitary in Bethlehem, almost lost his life by Abdul Qader Al-Husseni (the leader of the Palestinian revolution) after being accused of selling land to Jews. He used to tell us that his village Beit Sahur (The Shepherds Fields) in Bethlehem County was empty before his father settled in the area with six other families. The town has now grown to 30,000 inhabitants." - Walid, a Palestinian Arab defector, talking about the recent immigration of Arabs to Palestine. quoted from "Answering Islam" The current PLO and Arab claim (and mainstream media regurgitation of it) is indeed a very distorted version of `recorded history' and can only qualify as pure Orwellian propaganda. In fact, putting aside all the myths and propaganda, the only area that would qualify historically as truly Arab land, is the Arabian desert peninsula. Unfortunately, it seems that Goebbels was correct in stating that if a lie were repeated often enough, it would come to be "perceived" as truth.

Becuase israel is a thug a menace a parasite filth of the earth.

Your logic makes no sense. First, the record deficits over the past few years are because (1) tax rebates and lower taxes, (2) increased spending to defend the country, and (3) the war in Iraq.... Please spell out the connection of this to Israel??? Second, your numbers don't make any economc sense. Where did they come from? The websites that you cite does not provide primary or secondary sources. The amounts are not adjusted for inflation. Therefore, adding $1 in 1949 to a $1 in 2000 is like adding "apples" and "oranges"! Third, when the US sells Treasury bills and bonds, it doesn't chose who buys them. Investors in the US and abroad chose whether to invest in US debt or some other investment. Fourth, the countries that the US choses to give aid to is a choice made by the US government, not the Arab world. Fifth, how much aid is provided to Africa? To India? How much is spend by the UN in comparison to the US? How much does Germany spend on Israel versus the rest of the world???? I could go on and on, but your logic makes no sense.
9 :
well how many Jews have blown themselves up in a crowded market lately? You give money to your friends, not enemies.
10 :
Your logic is flawed. Let us assume, on the face, that what you claim is true. Then an analogy might be a case where I borrow money from the bank to start a business. That business makes money and I hire employees. I pay those employees. Can the bank (or anyone else) claim that my employees have the banks money? No of course not. Also, remember I said that the business madfe money. So, that money could have been used to pay the salaries, but then again, all of it is really just my money, and I just owe the bank some money. The truth is you partially contradict yourself. You, at one point, claim that Israel gets US Taxpayer's money. At another point, you claim they get Saudi Arabia's money. So, which one is it? The truth of the matter is that the money given by the US to Israel is something between the US and Israel and not between any other third parties. Which leads to the next question: So WHAT? Do you have a personal problem with it? Why don't you harp about all foreign aid that the USA gives out? Egypt is the second largest beneficiary of foreign aid, also totalingh in the billions annually. Yet NOBODY CARES, least of all, people like you. And Egypt is a non democracy. And Egypt is less pro American. And Egypt's economy is less viable (aka less ROI). I'm not arguing that Egypt should not get foregin aid. Just pointing out the obvious BSing that people like you do when you bring up the "oh Israel gets $$$ from America!" meme. its starting to get tiring.
