Israel seeks $20 billion in US military aid

[Canaan]

Really? And who pays for electricity in Hamas mini-dictatorship aka Gaza?

Mainly EU aid through UNRWA

Aid to Israel is less than 5% of total US aid. Furthmore all of this aid is military, thats means goes to American workers

.
BS! israel has a special agreement, which is on the brink of being illegal, in that Israel can use the aid to develop systems locally, and hence american workers loose their jobs.

LOL. Palestine itself is a Hebrew word. All towns here have Hebrew roots. Jews are only nation in middle east which preserved ancient language religion and culture. While "Palestinians" are mix of foreign emigrants, even their first president was born in Egypt. By the way Arabs recieve today 6 times more US aid than Israel (in addition Arabs recieve lots of aid from EU).

As for topic, its some unconfirmed and ucnlear report. Lets discuss when/if there will be something real.

Correct word is " Falasteen "

That's not America's fault. A bunch of f*****d up Brits chose to put them in that really f*****d up neighborhood. Let the UK and Baron Rothschild come up with the $20 B.

What are you trying to say?! Did brits put jewish there?! You're mistaken my dear friend. Jews have always been in Israel! And we can only put them where they belong! We can't put them is the states?! Then you'd be the first one to start moaning!

Ohh gosh, you are the naive uneducated one not me.
You are talking about cost of military aid, I am talking about the total cost of Israel to the US tax payer!

For instance economic research done by Thomas R. Stauffer published in the June 2003 issue of The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs and sponsored by the U.S. Army College and the University of Maine, shows that the "total identifiable costs come to almost $3 trillion,". "About 60 percent, well over half, of those costs - about $1.7 trillion - arose from the U.S. defense of Israel, where most of that amount has been incurred since 1973."

"Support for Israel comes to $1.8 trillion, including special trade advantages, preferential contracts, or aid buried in other accounts. In addition to the financial outlay, U.S. aid to Israel costs some 275,000 American jobs each year." The trade-aid imbalance alone with Israel of between $6-10 billion costs about 125,000 American jobs every year, Stauffer says.

Typical cowboy reply. Tryina twist the question. You said 'Brits put them there' and what I replied was where should have we put them then? In America? In China?! Or in their religiously important place where they make majority?!

I know my history! But that link had nothing to do with my reply.

 

[Canaan]

Yes..I concur..No point in banging heads to wall..

So because one doesn't agree with you two, they are a lunatic?
Wow and I am supposed to be discussing with so called grown ups

What? you do know that jews only made up 5% of the population before they were shipped in from Europe? what majority are you talking about?
Even when the 1947 partition plan was put forward jews were not a majority, they ended up being some odd 30% of the population even after hundreds of thousands of jews were let in to Palestine.

They do make majority right now though??

And they were overwhelming majority by 1947-48!

Year Jews Muslims Muslim Percentage
1946 608.2 1,076.8 58.35%
1950 1,203.0 116.1 8.80%
1972 2,752.7 360.6 11.58%
1995 4,522.3 811.2 15.21%
2000 4,955.4 970.0 16.73%

And btw he said its' brits' fault that they put them there!
