Israel would be wise to get the money,aid in one lump sum while the dollar is still worth something. The 10 year 'promise' is a suckers bet. Israel ,you Idol begins to show cracks. China today promised to use her large accumulation of dollars to sink the dollar as political leverage aganist the empire in decline. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower [is] servant to the lender. proverbs 22:7

Nice investment. You wonder why there's no peace in the region? We foster Israel's wars. Why should we reward this state. If they're "chosen", why do they need our help?

Why should Israel get our money while our infrastructure crumbles? Seriously, I want people to respond and justify why my hard earned tax money should go to your country?

Genesis tells us that GOD said that he would "Bless them that blesseth thee and curse them that curseth thee". God's word is enough for me.

Mike, I don't know if that suffices for me, since it also says in the Old Testament, that it is God's will to "dash a child's head against the rocks." A Lot of Christians, emphasize the Old Testament, over the New Testament. Why is that? Sorry for the pun;)

Exactly what services are you refering to? Before I go any further I would like to state that I am an avid supporter of Israel, as an American I realize that we are blessed to "build" you. But you have on almost every occasion tried to debunk my faith, and it kind of ticks me off. Your piety is repuslive. After all how can you talk from so high when there is a mosque on top of one of your holiest sites? And what about those commandments in the ark, you would think you'd keep your hands on those, I'd love to see the actuall tablets. If you as a Jew are so superior, why have you lost your way? As I stated I am a supporter of Israel and believe I am blessed because of it, but going around with that dude from norway inviting a debate on the interpretations of the Book is going to get you no where.

LBJ was once asked by an arab delegate and diplomat during his presidency why he supports 5 million israeli jews and not a billion arabs....LBJ'S answer was BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT! number 3 and 4.... what you may not realize in this usa monetary aid to the land of israel is that nothing is given for free. this money is LENT....AS IN ....LOAN to israel by american banks and israel has been repaying these loans throughout the years. they have never ever missed on a single payment ever. the reason your tax dollars are NOT AFFECTED, and the reason it IS NOT YOUR TAX DOLLARS THAT IS INVOLVED HERE is because israel HAS ALWAYS PAID HER LOANS FROM THE USA on time. your tax dollars can only be affected if israel defaults on the loan, on any loan coming from usa banks. please research before you open your mouth. israel has not only repaid loans forever, but has also given the usa incredible military intelligence, incredible military weaponry research and advancement, trained usa navy pilots, trained usa soldiers in counterterrorism measures, trained the army to use various weaponry. additionally, the computer you are presently using , the chip for this computer was developed in israel and its technology was given to the usa! via motorola israel, using israeli scientists to invent this chip. also, instant message was also developed in israel which you now use and enjoy in addition to diabetic and hear medications, biotechnological hospital equipment without which some surgeries would be impossible. israel is also using its knowledge in irrigation innovation to help the african nations with agriculture and crops, not to mention that a jew created your nuclear technology and theory of relativity, both were staunch zionists. there is incredible monetary and advancement reciprocity between israel and the usa. be;ieve me, nothing is free and usa benefits a lot from its aid to israel.

Israel is not some little child we always have to bail out with more money let them stand on their own two feet, I’m confident they can. Bush wants cut the S chip program (health care for children), we got two wars costing a fortune, and Social Security costs are going to hit the roof soon, we cannot afford this. Israel isn’t poor the Saudis certainly are not poor, they don’t need military handouts.
