1. Not surprising since the US give you $6 billion a year
Fox A. ,   New York   (01.17.13)
The US economy is hurting yet we apparently have billions of dollars to subsidize the Israeli economy. We truly have the best Congress money can buy
2. #1 Exactly how do you calculate that?
Cynthia ,   USA   (01.18.13)
Please post a link to where you got that figure and break it down. Loans, military aid, military supply and equipment purchases or just a random guess? Seems we have billions of dollars to subsidize failed businesses and wasted government spending.
3. To #1
Alejandro ,   Santo Domingo D.R.   (01.18.13)
The U.S.A. gives Israel $2.5 billion a year, not $6 billion. At least Israel doesn't waste the money the way other countries do.

NOT ONLY IS YOUR POST A CONSUMATE LIE, BUT YOU ARE SO IGNORANT, DUMB AND TOTALLY RIDICULOUS!
5. @1

what are you? 10 years old? have you ever picked a book in your life? your comment is unbelievably ignorant and so erroneous. better keep your lips closed and save us the opportunity to think you're a total idiot.
6. Fox A: that money stays in US
jdc ,   New York, US   (01.18.13)
It is $3b/year not 6 and the money goes entirely to US contractors. Israel gets the hardware not the actual money. You can think of it as a US subsidy to Lockheed Martin. US spends $100 billion on foreign bases outside Iraq and Afghanistan. Keep it in perspective.
7. #1. Fox: How 'bout Hussein and the Muslim B.?
Tom W ,   USA   (01.18.13)
The U.S. provides only 3 billion and not 6 as you exaggerate. At the same time Hussein gave untold billions to his friends in the Muslim Brotherhood from Egypt to Pakistan and then some. You love Islamic terror and the Kenyan but Israel pisses you off... Right, bro?
