Yes, you are correct if the following reference is correct. http://qesdb.usaid.gov/cgi-bin/brok...sas&_service=default&unit=N&program=GBK419901 However, per capita, Israel gets far more than these two impoverished nations. Israel â Population: 6,276,883 According to http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/rankorder/2119rank.html Egypt - 78,887,007 (July 2006 est.) https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/eg.html Jordan - 5,906,760 (July 2006 est.) https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/jo.html Jordan -
True but then again, the combined GDP of Egypt and Jordan is virtually equal to Israel's GDP so as a percentage of their corresponding GDPs our aid is also virtually identical. Don't forget that one dollar will buy you 10 times more goods and services in Cairo than in Tel-Aviv. None of these comparisons is meaningful anyway, I just wanted to correct the moron who was claiming that Israel is getting 10 billion and the arabs are getting nothing.
We give $$$$$$$$$ to Egypt and Jordan so that they stay neutral in the conflict between Israel and Palestinians. It is basically a hash money that was promised to them by US to stay out and keep their mounts shut. So one can argue that is costing us 3 billion a year to Israelis + additional $2.5 billion to Egypt and Jordan not to attack Israel and not to support Palestine. Total cost = $5.5 billion/year
What "several hundred billion/yr of oil revenues to the israelis" are you talking about? Are you referring to the Arab oil being pumped out of arab lands? That does'nt belong to the american taxpayer in the first place. What's the difference between the arab mentality and the mentality of those who support Bush? No difference.
Oh, You're all starting to get what I've been trying to explain here for years? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63611 They're not fighting for land- They're fighting for <b>honor!</b> Israel, on the other hand, is fighting for bare <b>survival.</b>
Please save us the BS. Orthodox/Torah Semetic and Hasidic Jews don't want Israel to exist because its very existence goes against the Torah. It's the talmudic/kabbalahist eastern european Jew-wannabes who don't have a single drop of semetic blood in them that want the existence of Zion. The Hasidics figured out who these Tamudists really are, no wonder the talmudists shut them up by killing them all with the help of the nazis.
Oh, you haven't enjoyed one of our village idiot's posts yet? There are a bunch of good ones in the archives. He thinks that George Bush Sr. is one of the world's biggest traffickers in heroin. He thinks that the Bush family bought land in South America this year for the purpose of coca cultivation, with the aim cocaine importation. This operation will be headed up by Laura Bush, in his opinion. He also thinks that Laura Bush and her daughters planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks. He also thinks that Kennedy was assassinated by the US government. He also thinks that there is a worldwide conspiracy by Jewish bankers to control the economies of every country on the planet. He also believe that the Holocaust never happened. He also believes that Space Aliens from the Andromeda galaxy are controlling the weather, and that global warming is their cover story; their plan is to make the planet too hot for human survival. They are methane-based creatures who thrive in high heat. What's that? You think I'm being facetious, that he couldn't possibly believe in these things? I see..... We are waiting for him to suggest that Saddam is still alive, and planning more attacks on US soil in cooperation with the Bush family.
When I was in Dubai, indeed there were Russian call girls there. A lot of the rich Arabs did indeed have Russian wives. Considering that Mumbai (Bombay) is a cosmopolitan city with many super-rich Indians I cannot see why money hungry Russian women would not be there. Jews and Arabs are the same (semitic) people. Sons and daughters of Abraham.
