LOL!!!!!!!!! You act as if the US aid to Israel is a huge part of it's economy, when in fact it is only just over 1% of the GDP.LOL!!! What a joke!!!! If the usa cut ties with Israel then the Pals would REALLY have something to worry about.... Luckily for the Pals, the USA needs Israel more than Israel needs the United States.
That is one of the Zionism lies. USA is not in Israel's league. Israel belongs to the league of terrorist/pirate/illegal states. It is the only member of its league. Israel is a beggar of American arms, money, prestige, and knowledge. And it does not say thank you. It even murders citizens of states that meet its begging needs. Israel also spies on the US. Israel lives on other people's life/property/etc like parasites do. When do you think is the end of Israel?
That is cash-only from government only. It is a lot, and it makes Israel 10 times richer that they should be. Let me explain why: 1. population of USA is about 100 times the population of Israel 2. Per capita income of americans is at least twice as much as in Israel. Corollary: American government (counting cash only) aid to Israel is TRIPLING GDP of Israel. (each dollar produced by one Israeli is matched two dollars (one percent of 100 Americans who earn two dollars for each dollar earned by Israelies) Now add the following: 1. contributions from organizations and individuals to Israel 2. Aid in form or arms 3. Intangible aids such as diplomatic support (priceless) 4. Aid if form of reach equipment, and research grants 5. Scholarships/etc Total would add another tripling of GDP of Israel. Conclusion: America multiplies GDP of Israel by a factor of 10, or a 1000% increase per year. Fight your own numbers. You may have thought you were smart, and others were idiots. So do not lean on your own sword the next time. PS: What would be the effect of the money that was sent to Israel by the likes of Maddoff and his Ponzi schemes that fleeced americans? Should we leave it to you or to the reader as an exercise?
Bullshit. Israel's GDP is about 220 bil. USA's contribution to Israel is about 3 bil/pa. Now you can do simple math right??? 3/220 = x/100 The usa govt gives similar amounts, and in some years MORE to Jordan and Egypt. Yet no one is bitching and whining about that. The population of the USA is well OVER 100x the population of Israel, but that doesn't change the mathematical fact that the contribute just over 1% of the gdp. Income per capita in the usa is not "at least" 2x of income per capita in Israel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita Aid from private individuals and organizations to Israel has nothing to do with US government aid. Private individuals and organizations are free to do whatever they would like to do with their money. Aid in the form of arms is included in the aid figure already given. Conclusion: You have no clue what you are talking about. Aid to the great nation of Israel from the USA constitutes just over 1% of the GDP. Period. Thanks for playing. Better luck next time. You're welcome. LOL!!! Did you really think that bullshit was going to fly??? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are your words, not mine:1% GDP of USA goes to Israel. Now that you realize the magnitude of the effect of that aid on Israel, you start spinning and changing the story. I would bet that you never gave serious thought to that 1%. It may have looked small to you when viewed as "just" 1% of GDP of america. People are smarter than you may think. Maybe you should not take their silence for stupidity.
No dumbass, you can't even read. 1% of Israel GDP comes from the USA, a negligible fraction of the US GDP goes to Israel. And 90% of it goes right back to the US economy as military orders. Jesus, Israel-haters are so dumb, they can't even do basic math and functionally illiterate.
Exactly. You fucking idiot. Just over 1% of Israel's GDP comes from american aid. Not 1% of US's GDP goes to Israel. WTF... epic fail.
So, clearly these "aid" people were career terrorists and attacked the bording parties with guns and knives. The Israelis defended themselves and 10 bad guys ended up dying. A positive outcome. I was sort of expecting the ships to be sunk with naval gunfire but Israel exercized great restraint. Look, just because you have elected Barrack the Magic Negro Marxist to the presidency doesn't mean you can attack Israel. You folks think you are running the world but you aren't running shit.
Do you want war with Israel, or do you want peace? If you want war, who are you to complain about the other side's rules of engagement, when you have absolutely <b>zero</b> rules of engagement of your own? Every unarmed Israeli civilian is a target to Hamas. Old women, children eating pizza, ballistic rockets aimed indiscriminately toward Israeli cities- no target is off limits to your side, so who are you to whine about questionable rules of engagement? If you want peace, then make peace. Stop attacking Israel and you won't be attacked. Israel needs to survive. The fact that I may be more sympathetic than the average Israeli citizen to the continued suffering of those on your side, doesn't mean I'd be in favor of changing all that much in the way Israel manages the war. What can Israel really do to improve living conditions on your side while the war drags on, and still <b>survive</b> as a strong, independent Jewish state? Ending the blockade on Gaza would invite more rocket attacks. A moral, humanitarian soft-war; tying soldiers hands behind their backs with tight ROE would just be a recipe for extending the fighting for endless decades to come. Surrendering (nearly) all territories the Palis claim to be fighting for... Israel tried that too. Ask Arafat why it didn't work. Make peace or make war... but if you choose the latter option, don't blame Israel for fighting back.
