Check your facts. The ersatz "Palestine" Authority has a 40% unemployment rate, is closing schools and medical clinics left and right .... and you are claiming a $6.641B GDP? Please do not allow your hatred of Jews and Israel to cloud your ability to observe reality with some degree of accuracy. The ersatz "Palestinians" are a freakish disaster; always have been and always will be. The only thing they are good at is terrorism and violence. They've spent the last seven decades proving it; haven't you noticed? Oh, of course not. You have that little problem with absorbing reality. Work on it.

Yes. Indeed He has! No country in all of recorded history has achieved what Israel has accomplished in its existence. Remember that the land that greeted the Jews of the First and Second Aliyot was a beggared and barren land, barely populated -- nothing. No museums, no cultural centers, swamps in the north and desert in the south .... Israel has created a paradise out of literally nothing. It helps to have you-know-who on our side! And we do. We do.

Palestine would no longer be occupied Israel, meaning they can start developing as a nation and not need the aid from the United States of "America". They'd be able to export and import their own goods, fish freely in their own waters, travel and recieve tourists, etc. Ironic too, US says the only way for peace is without any interference from the outside (UN), then the US demands Palestine negotiates with Israel...

The president dictates foreign policy fools. Congress can brown nose all they want, Obama is still King!!!!!!!!!!!1

are there no needy people in the U.S. who could be helped with this money? The average Joe can't even afford health insurance and you're giving away their hard-earned tax-dollars to non-Americans who are Islamists and anti-American, who rejoice about 9/11 and consider bin-laden a hero

When we were hiring Arabs their GNP approached that. Since then the GNP has fallen by over 70%. US aid in the form of direct aid and aid to UNRWA is over 50% of the GNP of the PA. Those are real facts, something the CIA hasn't a clue about. The PA could not survive one week without US aid.

I won't deny that you are saved. Only God Almighty knows your heart. But if you are a Christian, you have to account for Luke 21:23-24 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. The first part was fulfilled around AD 70. The second in 1967. Jerusalem was trodden underfoot by Gentiles like you and me until the times of the Gentiles were fulfilled when the Jews regained Jerusalem in 1967. This will not change, ever. The next New Testament prophecies waiting to happen concern the return of Jesus the Messiah. One example is Romans 11:25-26. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. When Messiah comes, he will rescue Jewish national Israel from her enemies. Now that the time of the Gentiles has reached its fullness, this is the next thing you should expect. God, Who sees the end from the beginning, sees "Israel and Zionists" as being just as saved as you are. Because Israel is the work of God Almighty, and because NEW Testament prophecies point to this, why then are you opposing His will?

It is a requirement in US high schools to take a course called US Government. You obviously aren't old enough to have taken it yet. Strongly suggest you do before making yourself look even more ignorant. A presidential veto can be overridden by a 2/3rds majority of Congress. So we see a 100% majority in the Senate and a mere 92% in the House of Representatives. If you haven't had mathematics either 2/3rds = 66.67%, which is less than the 92% that they have. There is more than enough to override any veto around. Congress does control the money, not the President. By the way you real should take US Government - Odumba is not the king, America doesn't have royalty. The 'king' is dead.

You said: "US says the only way for peace is without any interference from the outside (UN), then the US demands Palestine negotiates with Israel..." This implies coercion, but there is no coercion involved. The US Legislature just said they will no longer bankroll the PA unless the PA negotiates with Israel. The US is NOT REQUIRED to fund the PA. Our CHARITY has been wasted by people who do not want a negotiated peace, nor to recognize Israel as the Jewish national home. We've just decided to stop giving away our money to them any more.

You said: "The president dictates foreign policy fools. Congress can brown nose all they want, Obama is still King!!!!!!!!!!!1" (sic) But conservative-ideals dot org reminds us: "We recognize no sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus." - John Adams and John Hancock As to the president dictating foreign policy, the Legslature ratifies treates and it is in the Legislature that the power of the purse resides. Please note that I am not calling you a fool. Perhaps you could extend the same courtesy to your fellow posters here. And perhaps you could look up "checks and balances", which would help you understand why not president will ever be considered "king" of the US.

Have you ever thought that a way to peace would include: 1. Stopping terrorism, rockets, etc. 2. Recognizing that Israel is here to stay. 3. Accepting that any agreement is final; that you can't ask for more afterwards (as both PA and Hamas have said they would do). 4. Being willing to live in peace as long as you are expecting same from Israel? No, I didn't think so.

Recognition of a "palestinian state" by the UN General Assembly equals nothing POSITIVE. It is only NEGATIVE, as it allows the "palestinians" to continue terrorism, to which Israel must respond.

The vote was 407-6. There are far less than 407 Jews in Congress. Congress reflects the feelings of the majority of Americans. BTW: There are Christians, Jews and Muslims in the US Congress. There are arabs in the Israeli Knesset. There are zero Jews in most arab governments. THAT says it all.

the only slave-masters have been your corrupt Arab leaders who, for 63 years, commanded and demanded that the western world send them largesse to line their pockets. Some have said that the biggest one was Arafat who collected and put into his private bank accounts enormous sums of money given from Western pockets. His wife now lives in obscene luxury. If the people are so poor and backward, how could the leaders be so rich, huh? The Arab world knows this and refuse to give lavish donations because they know where it will end up. The US does not want to support your corrupt slave-masters any more. It is about time. Be responsible for yourselves.

LebanonBS BRAGS that "With UN Recognition, Palestine would...not need the aid from the United States of "America". " So why oh WHY was Fayyad in Brussels in mid April? Well, well, well, he was THERE to present a plan that BEGS for almost US$5 billion of AID.from Western donor nations ... INCLUDING the US. Did I mention CLUELESS?

I have no problem with cutting foreign aid. The only problem is that we have any foreign aid given the massive disaster our country is in. There rich nation that gets many billions of our tax dollars while our people suffer. As far as our pandering Congress people, they need to money to get elected or they will have to run on their record. They are people with no morals but not dumb as a pet rock.

It's ridiculous that this country is giving away so much money to country's that hate us. We are having financial problems ourselves. We should stop the aid to most country's until we can straighten out our financial mess and YES all that money would be better spent creating jobs for our citizens and fixing our roads!!

So the GENUIS from HK says that the OVERWHELMING votes are PROOF that the "Congress is obedient slave to israel & zionists". Wow, so that MEANS that in all the years the US has provided aid FOR the palis, the MEMBERS of the US govt must be DHIMMIS then. Did I mention "GENUIS"?

get it correct.

what holds you up/back? you can already start packing and go back to the us, where you probably came from.(you surely also have an american passport/nationality, double nationality). perhaps they are already waiting for you and for your talents in the states. have a nice trip. bon voyage. perhaps there are also people in the middle east who can"t wait until you"re gone yourself. good riddance! (perhaps) everybody (will be) happy/satisfied (then). what more do we want?

For your own sake -get an education.Go back to school .Don't post nonsense just because you can use a computer to some degree.

Two problems with your post: 1. Sarah b. is right. 2. You are wrong.

was i talking to you? did i insult you? no, it was meant for ersatz"sarah b"/mrs. ersatz. so mind your own business and your us-business. many people, including me and many countries are sick and tired and fed up with your us- meddling and interference in domestic, foreign and national affairs of other countries and your us ruling/dominating the world. mind your own damned business and leave the rest of the world alone in peace. you got it? the problems you wrote about are your problems, which you made by yourself, they are not mine. you did not convince me with your so-called post. iam not impressed at all and i do not agree. judge/look at yourself first. i do not need your judgement. do not lecture me. lecture/judge yourself. iam still more strengthened in my opinion on ersatz "sarah b"/mrs.ersatz and about you, according to your talkback. iam only impressed by reasonable and objective arguments/proves/answers/reactions. do your best! next time better, i hope. keep on trying.
