Closing Thought–28Aug20
I read the other day about a bill that sailed through the Congress for money to be sent to Israel….
It made me say out loud…WTF?
The US is sending almost $4 billion to Israel for their defense.
Again—WTF?
Pro-Israel group thanks an array of Democrats and Republicans for authorizing funding, saying the money ‘will help Israel protect itself against continuing security threats’
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee praised the Senate and the House of Representatives for authorizing $3.8 billion in defense assistance for Israel.
The pro-Israel lobbying group thanked an array of Democrats and Republicans in Congress for shepherding through the funding this week as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, saying the money “will help Israel protect itself against continuing security threats.”
Is Israel not strong enough to defend itself from protesters with rocks?
If Israel cannot defend itself why do the American taxpayer have to pay for their defense?
If they cannot make their own way in this world then they deserve to perish.
Any debt that the US owes Israel was paid in full over the last 60 years….time for them to stand on their own two feet or fall on their face….
The US should not have to pay Israel a dime….it is money pissed away with NO redeeming qualities.
When will Americans start demanding that Israel stay out of our politics and our government…..they have had a free hand in both for too many goddam years. Time for them to focus on settling their problems and stay away from our politicians…..and those same politicians that take money from Israel should be banned from Congress and political life forever.
Israel is NO friend to the US…..they use us and our money for evil…..time for that to stop!
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I must have been asleep when the news came that Israel was too poor to fund it’s own military.
Scandalous.
Best wishes, Pete.
THey play a good game to the world…most of it as always lies. chuq
That’s wonderful. They can’t agree on a new stimulus package, but they can send money to Israel. 🤦🏻♀️
We will always give them money for some reason…..lobbyists can work miracles chuq
