1. SUGAR DADDY SUPREME
Cameron ,   USA   (03.20.14)
Won't wage war on your behalf, but there will always be more financing and top-line weaponry than an Israeli can shake a stick at! The best of patrons we is.
2. All "US taxpayer"types who post rubbish-read this quote
Alan ,   SA   (03.20.14)
$3.1 billion a year, most of which must be spent on American defence products
3. My tax dollars are well spent
K ,   US   (03.20.14)
the only thing I am glad my taxes are going towards is Israel, I wish Israel were getting 10 billion a year
4. #1, US is getting a bargain deal at 90% discount
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.21.14)
Instead of spending $140 billion like in Europe or $30 billion like in Korea/japan to keep troops there, the US is providing 1% of Israel's GDP. This on top of Israeli taxpayers paying $15 billion a year for their defense and for American interests in the Middle East.
5. $Trillions spent since 9/11 fighting Israel's enemies
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.21.14)
...in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Israel wants us to bomb Iran for them. #4 not mine.
6. Jews, within and without the sovereign nation-state of the

Jewish people, Israel, are appreciative and thank first and foremost the American public, its representatives in Congress as well as the White House.

What, Cameron, you upset you may not get your foodstamps?
9. Actually over the past 3 years
Miron ,   USA   (03.21.14)
Israel provided 15 billion US dollars in cash to US for JSF-35. US, as far as aid goes, provided to Israel at 25% markup loans for 125 million US Dollars. The pathological liar sitting in White House stopped sharing information regarding Israel assistance.
10. #1 are you really that blind or just don't like the truth?
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (03.21.14)
You probably think Obama is doing a great job! Israel gives so much more to the U.S. In the way of military technology! You cannot say that about all the billions the U.S. Gives away to Pakistan, Iraq, Afghanistan and many more.
11. 7
y.Allon ,   adelaide/Israel   (03.21.14)
You are a real American and this is from a real Australian.
12. Money must be spent on american products. Still a theft.
Peter ,   Jerusalem   (03.21.14)
You'd think Israel is doing the US a favor by buying american products with stolen american money.
13. Well, to tell the truth, #10
Cameron ,   USA   (03.21.14)
If attitudes like #6 were more the rule, instead of the surprising exception, my take on the matter would alter considerably.
14. 13. Cameron....
Adam ,   London, England   (03.21.14)
Please don't go by way of the talk backers on here, the internet is a place to let of steam and rant for most. Myself and all Jewish friends and family i know are firmly grateful and have the up most love for America and her people, without her we would be in an even more difficult situation. GD Bless America.
15. Jews do have balls.
American Vet   (03.21.14)
Jews get 3 - 4 billion each year from Uncle Sugar ( US taxpayers). Then bitch that they have to spend it in USA. That is 3-4 billions of military equipement the Jews wouldn't have.Then to top it off the Jews fill that Americans should be grateful.
16. A correct enough take on the Internet & YNET, #14
Cameron ,   USA   (03.21.14)
All too easy to slip into that groove. Trust me, I do not let myself off the hook for indulging in the same rant & gripe game like everyone else on this site.
