Americans will come to the rescue of Israel every time……blindly they will accept anything and everything that Israel does….all in the name of protecting “people of the book”……and of course there is the WW2 thing that gives them a sympathetic ear……my grand father always said…”if you are looking for sympathy try a dictionary between shit and syphilis”…..
Awhile back I wrote a piece about an American company, Re/Max, that was profiting from the land stolen from Palestinians to build settlements
Look around your neighborhood at homes for sale and you will undoubtedly see RE/MAX’s ubiquitous signs sporting red, white and blue hot air balloons. What started out as a mom-and-pop office in Denver, Colorado in 1973 is now a corporate giant, with some 100,000 sales agents in over 90 countries. RE/MAX claims to have “the largest business volume in the world,” adding an average of 1.6 new franchises each day. Its yearly revenues surpass $150 million, derived from fees from its franchisee, annual dues from agents, broker fees, and franchise sales.
Disgusting that a corporation from a “democracy” would stoop so low as to try and turn a profit off of stolen land…..as disgusting as it is….it is NOT surprising.
I bring this up because the American taxpayer will be supplementing the building of illegal; settlements………
Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon have announced they will divert some $18 million from the nation’s military budget, which includes money provided as direct military aid from the United States and others, to settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.
The US provides billions of dollars in direct military aid annually, including both cash and weaponry. That money goes into the general military budget, which is where the funding for the settlement is coming from.
Your taxes are being used to fund the theft of land from the Palestinians…….you people are idiots! You hate the government for the public domain where your property can be taken from you….but are okay when it happens to someone else…..
Of you are concerned about the taxes you pay….should you not be concerned on how they are spent?
