if Yaalon and more like him refused to accept one more penny in U.S. aid and then opened his mouth. Mouthing off to democractically elected officials in a country that gives billions in foreign aid to Israel every year, in a country that has no national health care unlike Israel, in a country whose citizens are suffering unemployment and a financial recession is appalling not only for its' lack of respect for those officials but for the people who elected them. Wow, it makes Israel look like a bunch of self-entitled schnorers.

The Defense Minister is a wonderful patriot.
