returned with a "no thank you, we can take care of ourselves note" attached when the next $3 billion check courtesy of the increasingly poor, foreclosed, and unemployed American tax payer is sent there. Until then STFU and do whatever Obama tells you guys to do.

US hands out TRILLIONS of dollars that benefit Arabs, who already have a thousand billion barrels of oil, and they don't pay back a cent. Of all the nations that receive US money, Israel is the one that actually pays back that amount, plus interest, additionally the money is largely used in investment that benefits the US, not Israel. 3 billion is a paltry sum anyway. It is nothing more than diplomatic dialog. It has no actual consequence to either side.

no wonder why i don't like cats-- they are slefish, out of touch, and simply with a low iq.. you qualify hands down......

Israel is a sovereign country and doesn't need to ask anyone's permission to undertake all steps necessary to guarantee its security and the safety and security of its citizens. The United States would never dream of asking anyone's permission to undertake military action it felt were necessary to preserve the safety and security of the United States and its citizens. For that matter, the United States would brook no tolerance for any such interference by other nations. Kindly extend a similar privilege to Israel, which is also a sovereign state. Obama is an arrogant fool; Israel doesn't need his -- or anyone else's -- permission for a pre-emptive strike on Iran, a country which has extremely vocally and vociferously committed itself to the destruction of the "Zionist entity" and the extermination of the Jewish people.
