No secret that I think that our foreign aid policies are broken and desperately need an overhaul…….we throw billions at countries to try and influence their thinking….they usually ask us for cash to help with some disaster or to assist in their security…..of course there are other reasons for the need of American cash but those are the biggest…..

I thought I had heard it all when it comes to us and our cash being spread around the globe……but I read a piece that made me disgusted and appalled and a little more cynical……

Another Defense Appropriations bill means another chance for the US Congress to shovel an increased amount of military aid at Israel, with the latest bill out of the House adding $131 million in missile defense funding over last year’s level.

The $131 million wasn’t requested by anyone, and was simply backed on to the funding requested by the Obama Administration, with hawks saying the “missiles regularly fired at Israel from Gaza” justified the increase.

Israel’s military sought to defund the Iron Dome missile system years ago, but has continued to get hundreds of millions annually from the US to pay for it. Since then they have praised it as a dramatic success.

Experts, however, say Israel’s data on the success rate of Iron Dome is not only inflated, but is so inflated as to be essentially impossible given the laws of physics. The real success rate remains a mystery, but if success is measured in how much money the US will throw at them, it’s done quite well for itself.

What is it about Israel that the US feels it must throw money at them….even money they did not ask for at any time?  Sorry, but our debt has been paid in full for the genocide of the past.

I wish that our politicians had a guilty conscience when it comes to the way they treat American citizens.  Is that just too much to ask?

Someone please step forward and explain this to me…..for the life of me I see NO return on that policy…..Israel does as they like and tell us to just live with their actions…….when will we draw a line against these parasites?
