@cheekyboy5000 It's not 30 billion - more like 3 billion - after much of that is in the form of loan guarantees and Israel has to use the US defense industry to purchase most of its weapons. Plus Israeli owned companies employ thousands of people in the US and pump billions into the economy - not to mention Israeli technology. You begrudge Jewish prosperity yet they are HUGE contributors to the US tax base.

@cheekyboy5000 Yeah those are the consequences of repeatedly trying to wipe out your enemy and losing each time. I guess you reap what you sow. And if you want to keep trying to infiltrate lines to kill innocent people and destroy infrastructure then expect to be fenced it to be kept from doing so. And how about if Palestinians won? Do you think any Jew would be spared? And what of the 700,000 Jews kicked out of Arab countries after all their assets were confiscated?

@JerrySPsy 80% of the population living on less than $2 per day with unemployment at 45%

The facts are shocking. Obama approves 30 BILLION of funding to Israel at the same time as the biggest recession in 80 years of US history. And he gets accused of "throwing Israel under the bus". Shocking.

@JerrySPsy Average income in Gaza is $3000, average income in Israel is $26000. And they use the Palestiniians as slave labour, blocking their ports and borders to crush the economy, and using the people as domestic servants and labourers on a pittance.

It is a stated goal of the administration to keep the Palestinian people at the lowest possible leve..

@JerrySPsy The arabs attacked after early zionists were busy evicting palestinians from their homes through intimidation, threats, and force.

@NewDaysOldWays1 "What Israel is doing to the Palestinians?" They have luxury malls in Gaza, food is plentiful, Gaza's kids have among the highest rates of obesity in the world, etc. Israel has been letting through more & more but you'd better believe that if the situation were reversed & Jews were in Gaza & Hamas comtrolled the gates Jews would be either driven out, dead, or starving. Their charters call for the elimination of all Jews so yes, Israel does take steps to protect it citizens.

@DonVoghano "Moral standing?" Every time Israel gives back anything, negotiates peace, and tries to get along with its Arab neighbors and with the Palestinians it has either been rejected or backfired on them. Israel has constantly offered peace even when they have everything to lose and nothing to gain. If someone tries to shoot you with a gun & you succeed in wresting it away from them you don't simply hand the gun back to him.

@DonVoghano OH BS! Israel has hardly elected eradication! It has sought peace from the beginning but the Arabs started with murders, then all-out massacres, terrorism, suicide bombings, every war (of "extermination," "drive the Jews into the sea," "kill all Jews wherever you find them") rocket attacks, and their charters call for the elimination of Jews and Israel. God forbid the Jews fight back and win and try to have defensible borders against the constant onslaughts.

@superhamzah85 Mainstream Zionists only wanted enough land for a Jewish homeland. Jews were the majority in a few areas but the land was underpopulated back then and the Ottoman Empire was defeated so the British, League of Nations, and UN had a right to grant some of it to the Jews. History does anything but support a Zionist desire for all the land. If that were true they would not have given back the Sinai, S. Lebanon, Gaza, etc.
