Don't you ever get tired of making a fool of yourself In Law, it takes two to keep an agreement Arabs were the first to attack Israel in 1948, again in '56, '67 & '73 which were repeated violations of International Law If you're going to pretend you know some Law, then learn before displaying you ignoracne and sounding off in your usual moronic manner
92. #86 Israel has a thriving economy,
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.08.11)
Best in the Middle East, for a country that lacks oil fields The problem is that she had to spend too much money defending herself from neighbors that have attacked and threaten to attack In America's two World Wars, the Government sold War Bonds or Defense bonds to raise money from a much larger population than Israel has, Therefore they had great source of revenue to supply their military You may enjoy the fact that any money that Israel may receive, is mandated by law to spent in the USA to buy American products, Resulting in increased American Employment in a lousy economy

Don't talk, the Palestinian's have been living off the largesse of the rest of the world for more than 63 years, since the very first time you and your fathers self-iflicted the Nakba Read it and weap, then visit the cemteries and shame them for what they did to you http://www.standwithus.com/pdfs/flyers/biglies06.pdf Have box of tissues handy, yiour leaders really gave you the shaft and admitted it

Barney ,   USA   (03.09.11)

95. more... AGAIN???
Phil Marlowe ,   Virginia Beach   (03.09.11)
Didn't you just get a promise out of Bush for 30 billion over 10 years? Never ends with you people.
96. to Salma36
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (03.09.11)
'Palestine" can NOT exist without Israeli aid.You truly are a stupid person.
97. to Robert,Brisbane
john Darren ,   Cairns-Australia   (03.09.11)
Your post shows how ignorant you are.Where is Israel "disobeying" international law.
98. have you been paying any attn to pltcs in us ltly???
ryr ,   ny ny   (03.09.11)
What so you can protect your settlements?
99. Money is Money, Ben Jabo
Mark of Lewiston ,   Lewiston USA   (03.09.11)
Paying it out to General Dynamics or to some teacher's pension is relevant. It is still a huge amount for a country which is firing teachers and cops and firefighters to give tax breaks to zillionaire oil magnates, so they in turn can but politicians. Grandmas can switch to cat food, too I suppose. They will strip the money from Social Security, too. But the only leverage the US would have is if the money does not get used until there is something definitive delivered, not just promised in some misty future. I've never seen Netanyahu deliver anything on any promise to the US in my lifetime. You want a carrier, take the one in New York harbor - fine with me.
100. #81 Israel obeys international law???
Robert ,   Brisbane Australia   (03.09.11)

You made more sense when you played a detective Who is holding your place in the welfare line
102. #86 Robert - a reminder
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.09.11)
If it hadn't of been for the USA coming to your aid during World War One, defending you for the Japanese, two things could have happened 1) You would now be a Japanese Citizen 2) Your mother might be able to figure out who your father was
103. Robert-Brisbane I really enjoy your
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.09.11)
showing us that you know nothing, you're all noise & no substance I hope for the sake of your family that there aren't any more like you at home I gave you a chance to prove your claims, I'm still waiting Although I've posed the following questions quite a number of times, I have yet to have a single response from any so-called Palestinian Maybe you can show me what the so-called "Palestinian's" are basing their claim on, they haven't be able to Have a go at it, come up with just a two or three answers in their behalf When was the country of Palestine founded and by whom? Where did the Palestinian people originate from? What were Palestine's borders? Who were its neighbors? What language did the Palestinians speak? What writing did they use? What manuscripts or records did they leave whether written or engraved? What was their religion? Where are their temples? What monuments attest to their existence? What was the name of their capital? Name its other major cities. What was their currency called? Are there any coins that attest to their economy? What was Palestine's form of government? Name its kings or rulers. What are their achievements? C'mon, strain your limited mental ability, answer just one measly question , pretty please
104. #95..Marlow the bigot Ignores the FACTS - a real whiner
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (03.09.11)
If the U.S. can spend hundreds of billions in money, troops, materials to be in Afghanistan, Iraq and in Europe, why do you begrudge Israel ? Germany, the country that the U.S. saved after it started 2 world wars, now prospers because of massive American injections of aid.
105. #95..marlow - U.S. gives 'more AGAIN" and AGAIN to many
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (03.09.11)
Yes, the U.S. gives " more again" to many ungrateful countries, many of whom are resentful of America even as they take U.S. MONEY and they RETURN NOTHING. Israel pays back many, many times over by remaining the strong country that protects not only itself, but also U.S. and western countries and values.
106. #95.. Israel pays more AGAIN for Islamic anger at U.S
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (03.09.11)
Israel receives the brunt of the anti-U.S. anger and violence from the anti-U.S. and anti-Western Islamic-Arab regimes. Try paying Israel for that , there is NO amount of U.S. money that can compensate Israel for bearing the brunt of the Arab-Muslim anger and violence which is aimed at the U.S. and the West,..... but Israel gets it AGAIN and AGAIN instead.
107. 20 Billion more
Concerned American ,   USA   (03.09.11)
Save the tatas America. Israel needs to latch on to it for 20 billion more.
108. 20 billion to protect the illegal settlements
Haim ,   Tel Aviv   (03.09.11)
While thousands go hungry on US streets. Its time the American tax payer stopped funding the fanatical right wing religious who hate you any way.
109. What is this moneygrubbing, Jacob ben Jacob #104?
Cameron ,   USA   (03.09.11)
The Marshall Plan was for a Europe in rubble, and there will be none of that for economically viable Israel. Israel has no inherent "right" or claim to those billions. Those are OUR ducats to be utilized as we deem fit. Our largesse toward Israel has been enormous over the decades, and it's high time you started digging deep into your own coffers, instead of banging on the door looking to come away with bags of gold thrown over your shoulder. If you are indeed not our client, then stop looking for us to play Sugar Daddy patron. The granting of that kind of vast sum will place a heavy burden of repayment on Israelis, and I'm not just talking financial repayment. Are Israelis honestly ready for the obligations and demands that those billions would bring?
110. #102 BENJABO - A lesson
Robert ,   Brisbane Australia   (03.09.11)
I assure you the US never came to my aid in either WW1 or WW2. Your assumption that I am an Australian is erroneous as are many of your other biased posts. Whereas it is understandable that you take umbrage at criticism of what you believe is an infallible Israel you would benefit by opening your eyes to the observations of impartial spectators and admit that even Israel has its faults. I am pleased that you enjoy my posts as it is evident that you haven't much else to amuse you.
111. # Cameron
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.09.11)
Some facts for you to digest According to Gallup Polls, American's favor Israel by 63%; you can check it for yourself Majority rules, you can take it or lump it, those are the facts America, particularly Pres. Obama has kissed the ring and tush of any Arab leader he was able to come in contact with, they're still laughing at his ineptitude and Kowtowing At present America continues to pay extortionate prices for oil supplied by Arab countries, far in excess of what Israel needs for her self defense It appears that Saudi Arab and Kuwait, main oil suppliers, are on the brink of their own Revolutions, if and when that should occur, you’re going to end up pushing your car,Since gas will be too expensive to buy Don't concern yourself about Israel's burdens, she will accept them, since if she didn't have the wherewithal to defend herself, she would be destroyed, won't allow that to happen NEVER AGAIN !!! Another fact, those monies, by Law, MUST BE SPENT IN THE USA on American goods, manufactured by American’s, employing American’s in a rather rotten economy In plain talk, the money is making a full circle, right back to the USA
112. Get lost !!! ,...
split ,   US   (03.09.11)
Ask China and cut the middleman? Can't ? Oh I forgot China charges interest and expects to be paid back.
113. # 111..Dear BenBo...do the math again...
Edithann ,   USA   (03.09.11)
Israel just dropped another 10 points in the American Psyche... You don't get to be '4th' internationally as the most vile people ....for being so 'right'! hahahaha TATA
114. #113; Edithann, and her love, of hate
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.09.11)
According to the Gallop Poll done last month here in the USA, The poll has been done for the last three decades or so. They ask the same questions and you can go to the Gallop poll website, see the questions asked, how many people, what dates they were done and a myriad of other information about the process of taking the poll. It's one of those polls other academics respect. This poll (the one done for the BBC) was payed for by the BBC, no information is given, not even what company that performed the poll. You have no idea what questions were asked, when, what the margin of error is, yet we have all the antisemitic gloating. But the Gallop Poll had the American public with a 63% favorable rating and the Palestinians with a 17% favorable rating. Which was a 3% drop from last year when the Pals were at 20%. Now we have this anonymous poll from the BBC telling us the majority of American public oppose Israel. Now that's a large difference between polls. As we all know, polls can be slanted to get the results you want based on how you ask the questions. So here people who choose to believe what supports their preconceived hatred of Israel are happy. Even though they don't know who did the poll and how it was conducted? So they gloat in what they consider a PR victory. But as usual they ignore the omissions of information. Something they would be jumping on if the poll said the opposite. Like I said, go the Gallop Poll website and you can look up the 63% favorable rating from the American public. I said all this before, but for you it's worth repeating. TATA

Antiochos ,   NY USA   (03.10.11)

119. #116.edithan - You troll the BOTTOM -YOU know what it is
Abraham ben Jaob ,   Canada   (03.12.11)
If anyone wants to know what BOTTOM is , just ask #116 edithan -- this edithan is allways on the bottom of things, never on top of things.
120. Israel is the problem
Steven G ,   Hesperia, USA   (03.16.11)
Bah humbug! $20 billion more in military aid to Israel will NOT turn Israel into a regional stabilizer. Israel IS the reason for an unstable middle east.
