You just copied verbatim what Ashley Smith of Facebook posted. We could also feed the poor with the billions wasted on the malfunctioning Obamacare website, the billions wasted on global warming nonsense, Obama's wasteful, extravagant vacations, unnecessary furniture for the VA while vets are dying etc. Harold, how much do you donate to help the poor?

Hoping mad split. The only thing that unites Republicans and Democrats is full support of Israel.

I googled your proud article and found it solely on anti-Israel websites. In the words of a guy who lives off welfare and can't remember his last day of hard work, please explain this $121 billion dollar claim?

Benji ,   US   (05.24.14)
Exactly how much do you pay in taxes to support Israel? Where on your tax return does it say this money is earmarked for Israel? The kassam rockets and bombs fired at Israel are sophisticated and manufactured. They have killed, maimed, disabled and ruined the lives of many people.
37. That should buy a toilet seat or two.

Due to loopholes created for this purpose their tax deductible donations are getting siphoned to the settlement enterprise and deducted from their income tax so an the end we're the ones that pay for this crap it and get screwed because of the hate we get in return for sustaining and keeping afloat a little bully ,...

The only reason that the United States sent spare parts to Israel in 1973 was because Israel had surrounded the Egyptian Third Army and cut its supply lines. The IDF also crossed the Suez Canal and stood poised to march on Cairo, with nothing standing in its way. By the time the U.S. sent the spare parts, Israel had already turned the tide, and would have taken Cairo and Damascus. The United States saved its own hindquarters in 1973. Because Israel WOULD have taken Cairo, and we WOULD have taken Damascus. And that was the only reason which prompted Sadat to make his historic move a few years later. He realized that the Arabs could not defeat Israel militarily. He did not want to be remembered as the Egyptian who lost Cairo to the Jews.
45. Let's face it

To be perfectly honest, Split, Harold and the other cackling idiots will not earn in their entire lifetimes combined what I pay in estimated taxes to the United States in one quarter. I have no problem with my tax dollars investing in Israel. I have a great many problems with my tax dollars going to support terrorist regimes and bottomless pits of need and want throughout the world. Countries who have never done a damned thing for the United States, and miss no opportunity to criticize the United States. Taxpayers do not have a say in how American tax revenue is spent, except to vote for Congressional representatives who are conscious of their electoral base and the wishes of that electorate. Idiots such as Harold and Split, who contribute next to nothing in tax revenue, can always be counted on to speak the loudest about "their tax dollars." Truth is, I'm willing to bet that neither of them pay taxes. They're leeching off disability and Social Security, and will take from those funds far more than they have ever contributed.

GLAD THE $$ IS GOING TO HOUSE MORE ISRAELI JEWS !!! And also GLAD that Muslims are thinning their own herds, wonder what 'tax' that cost is to the muslims who murder Muslims, Jews, and Christians? Bet you have the grand total, right? ALWAYS BUILDING ISRAEL!!

BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.25.14)
obama just gifted the pals with an additional 1.7 not a loan a gift to help destroy Israel. Too bad Israel doesn't just 'wipe the pals off the map." Turn about is fair play. BUILDING ENDLESSLY !!!
48. # 45 Brilliant Sarah BRAVO!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.25.14)
I pay hight taxes as well and feel good that I can afford to do so, however, like you, I'm not thrilled to see obama ( not our Congress or Senate ) gift an additional $ 1.7 billion to the terrorists pals. Not loans.. our tax money. You're right about the useful Islamic idiots on this site, as repugnant as they are, their cash flow is equal to their lowly IQ's. Not only do they not pay taxes ( as well as some of our 'elected' representatives, ) they do not represent Americans. They sponge off the system and then slam it.. They are bred for ignorance, inter marriage of generations of first cousins leaves them with a sub mentality that can't cogitate, reason, or think like most sane people. Top that off with a religion that adores death and man, you've got one hot ignorant mess. When the muslims finish the massacres of opposing muslims and the dust settles, Israel will still have grown more powerful and more ready to protect what's hers. ALWAYS BUILDING, BABY !!!
49. #42 You mean for more useless propaganda
Benji ,   US   (05.25.14)
You can't explain any of this in your own words and there is nothing in this Ynet article to support your $121 billion dollar claim. The factual information about Israel must be too challenging for you. Now run along.

A sentence from the article above: "Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of US foreign assistance since World War II. According to a Congressional Research Service report, Israel has received to date $121 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars)" As an educated person I may add that those are the numbers reflecting handouts delivered up to 1997. Below are the details ,... ` U.S. Financial Aid To Israel: Figures, Facts, and Impact Summary Benefits to Israel of U.S. Aid Since 1949 (As of November 1, 1997) Foreign Aid Grants and Loans $74,157,600,000 Other U.S. Aid (12.2% of Foreign Aid) $9,047,227,200 Interest to Israel from Advanced Payments $1,650,000,000 Grand Total $84,854,827,200 Total Benefits per Israeli $14,630 Cost to U.S. Taxpayers of U.S. Aid to Israel Grand Total $84,854,827,200 Interest Costs Borne by U.S. $49,936,680,000 Total Cost to U.S. Taxpayers $134,791,507,200 Total Taxpayer Cost per Israeli $23,240

That's not from a reliable source. Post a link to a US government website documenting foreign aid to Israel. You extracted this from one of your squirrely websites.
