The world can manage quite well without whatever comes out of Israel. The world benefits from countless more inventions , developments and procedures from countries other than Israel, including Australia

Oh, forgive me. I quite forgot about the digereedoo. I wonder how many lives that has saved.

The time will come when no country will come to Israel's aid but Israel will prevail. To go against Israel is to go against God. Eventually Russia and a hoard of Muslim countries will try to invade Israel from the north. It will look like all is lost for Israel. Those armies will be destroyed and Russia will be destroyed. If you are still around when that happens perhaps it will change your perceptions.

I'm an American taxpayer and I say (along with my representative Dr. Ron Paul) --- NO! No more money. Not a dime. Stop all foreign aid funded by tax dollars. You want to send money to Israel - be my guest. Don't expect me to provide material support for terrorism, however.

And once American aid stops flowing to Israel - even if it's because we're broke and the dollar is just so much toilet paper, the truth of that will be shown. Because Israel won't last six months without the shield of the U.S. and the money we provide.

We have our own problems. Israel has enough money. If it really wanted to raise the capital to pay for it's weapons systems all it has to do is raise taxes or it can cut it's soldiers salary from $100.00 a month to $50.00 a month. In regards to the Obama's vacations that is none of your (foreign) business and if Obama gave himself a 700 million dollar bonus I wouldn't care, but to give to a foreign country when teachers and firemen are losing there jobs is disgusting. The Israeli government is pissing us Americans off, enough is enough.

From the revenues the US just got by selling the Saudis 60 billion in F15's and the Iraqis 36 F16's they should be able to put up a few millions for a little missile shield. Israel should never have stopped development of the Lavi which would make it more independent from US arms sales.

Wrong again. What we American taxpayers won't tolerate is more of the open hatred, misogeny, terrorist support and general barbarism from you Arabs who falsely call yourselves Palestinians, as if such a nation had ever existed in human history.

You must be kidding Mr. Natanyahou, u r not a palastinian to ask for money.

The US and Israel are foremost in developing defenses against missiles and rockets of all ranges. Israel provides an UNBELIEVABLE amount of weapons and IT technology to the US. Israel provides more high tech to US than it receives. Raytheon is already using Israeli Iron Dome technology to develop a similar system for the US and recently some in Congress publicly asked this US access to Iron Dome technology be formalized. No problem, but redundant. The next layer up, David’s sling, is a joint Raytheon/Rafael project. And one can assume that the IRBM Israeli Arrow series and its associate target missiles have provided the US with useful data.
