Israel and the elderly are the starving children of China in the 1930's when that was the big worldwide crusade. Doesn't Israel feed its elderly and children of the poor? All day long and all night long there are programs like Rabbi Eckstein of the International Fellowship of Chrisitans and Jews dunning money for the poor Jews of Israel, Russia, Ethiopia. Don't Jews provide for their own anymore? Then there is John Hagee and Jonathan Burnis and Sid Roth and others wanting money for Jews. No wonder Jews are so rich. There couldn't possibly be another poor Jew in the world with all the money for tv programs to beg for more unless the funds are not going to the poor Jews of the world. I notice the same elderly Jews in Russia are interviewed in their hovels that were being interviewed ten years ago on tv. You would think Rabbi Eckstein could find another poor Jew somewhere in Russia to show on tv.

A christian and muslim concept......don't talkback...prove me wrong!

Israel should thank the US Tax Payer without them Israel will fall.

So 62% of donations come from abroad but are declining. Look for further declines from abroad after the Madow scandal cut out large foundation investments and ruined donors. Ron Paul and others are calling for all aid to Israel and other countries to be ended. Israel's go it alone foreign policy is finally bearing the expected fruit--you are and will be alone. The rich are getting richer in Israel--let them give to their own country. Let the Haredim build hospitals and orphanages and old age homes. Too poor? Catholic immigrants to the US built, with their own money, not state, an infrastructure of schools, universities, health care facilities, orphanages, foster care and old age homes that benefited the entire country. Your turn now, dear friends.

It is not about taxation. Only about 2% of Israel's annual budget comes from US aid.

The contribution of jews to the usa and the world has been in the humanitarian areas profound . hygeine laws self restraint repression of animal impulses discoveries in medicine psychology law and job creation very great . The usa is a medical superpower.

I tried to donate a sum of money to Tel Ha Shomer hospital. They gave me such a run around, call this number , call back tommorow after a week of none returned calls i gave up and gave the money to another charity organisation who were only to happy to receive the sum.
