Keep trying the false claim strategy, it has worked so well in the past... LOL! What a one trick pony...
Largest per capita?? Not true! It is Israel as in the report I posted before. The aid pipeline There are at least three ways in which aid to Israel is different from that of any other country. First, since 1982, U.S. aid to Israel has been transferred in one lump sum at the beginning of each fiscal year, which immediately begins to collect interest in U.S. banks. Aid that goes to other countries is disbursed throughout the year in quarterly installments. Second, Israel is not required to account for specific purchases. Most countries receive aid for very specific purposes and must account for how it is spent. Israel is allowed to place US aid into its general fund, effectively eliminating any distinctions between types of aid. Therefore, U.S. tax-payers are helping to fund an illegal occupation, the expansion of colonial-settlement projects, and gross human rights violations against the Palestinian civilian population.. A third difference is the sheer amount of aid the U.S. gives to Israel, unparalleled in the history of U.S. foreign policy. Israel usually receives roughly one third of the entire foreign aid budget, despite the fact that Israel comprises less than .001 of the world's population and already has one of the world's higher per capita incomes. In other words, Israel, a country of approximately 6 million people, is currently receiving more U.S. aid than all of Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean combined when you take out Egypt and Colombia. This year, the U.S. Congress approved $2.76 billion in its annual aid package for Israel. The total amount of direct U.S. aid to Israel has been constant, at around $3 billion (usually 60% military and 40% economic) per year for the last quarter century. A new plan was recently implemented to phase out all economic aid and provide corresponding increases in military aid by 2008. This year Israel is receiving $2.04 billion in military aid and $720 million in economic aid there is only military aid. http://www.wrmea.com/html/usaidtoisrael0001.htm In addition, had it not for the economic strangulation and the intentional destruction by the colonizing state of Israel of any viable hope of progress, Palestine would've managed to do just fine. Come to think about it, the aid to the Palestinian people in the occupied territories should be discounted from the billions of dollars Israel receives yearly in grants and give aways, for the simple fact that it is due to the intentional campaign Carried by Israel to drive the Palestinians to the brink of starvation in hope that they would empty their land so that you would occupy it.
Palestinians the largest per capita recipients of international development assistance in the world. How many more reputable sources do you need to get it through your thick skull, your barbaric tribe is the largest per capita recipient of foreign aid worldwide. And given your ugly corrupt, islamo-nazi medieval nature you are not using it to improve your standard of living, you are using it to smuggle weapons and attack israel. And of course we should not forget Suha Arafat's swiss bank accounts. LOL, just out of curiosity, why do you take out Egypt and Colombia when calculating the aid allocated to Africa and Latin America? You people are too funny, who are you trying to fool?
Fact: US aid to Israel is not extraordinary in amount 20% of all US Foreign aid. Fact: US support for Israel in terms of political military is not extraordinary considering US obligated itself by treaty to protect militarily such worthless countries as poland, romania, lithuania, latvia (due to NATO). Very good point! US obligation to NATO members is as you said! An obligation to member of a body according to specific obligatory TRESTIES; What is/ are the "Legal" obligations or formal treaties obligating the United States to Israel? Furthermore, we are talking about continuous military aid, on yearly bases to the state of Israel; can you point to me, which NATO member received such generous offer on continuous bases??

Furthermore, NATO members are obligated to come to the aid of the US in time of war, is Israel obligated? Fact: US supports Israel for many reasons, but primarily because of Israel's benefit to US in terms of US foreign policy objectives in the region (free flow of oil, countering pan arabic nationalism, outpost of us interests) So wrong! Oil flow in the 70s, oil stopped flowing because of US support to Israel. Furthermore, if you looked at countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, it did not take Israel pressure for them to foot out 3 trillion dollars in Sovereign Funds to bail out the US economy less than a year ago.
Damn, someone was misguided enough to try to attack my points. Point 1) Who cares whether it is 20 or 40% of US aid if Egypt receives either an exact or very similar amount? 6 billion is a paltry sum to be honest. US has not a signed a treaty to protect Israel which means in case a major power attacks Israel US would not be drawn in automatically. This is not the case with Poland or other worthless countries. US supports Israel because it is perceived to be in US national interests. I gave the example of Taiwan some time ago and there were no takers. If US can risk a nuclear confrontation over a fucking island support of Israel is not unreasonable. When we are talking about "new" members of NATo we are talking about countries that actually were part of the Warsaw pact and were AGAINST US. Israel was with US during the same time period. This is weak to suggest that US support of Israel is unconditional. US has not been an open belligerent on the side of Israel in any Arab-Israeli war. Yeah, Poland is obligated to come to US aid in case of a war. The value of such "obligation" should be shameful to even suggest as a point. Point 2) You fail to realize Arabs had a bone to pick with western nations BEFORE cold war. Which means, arabs are not natural allies and cannot be trusted. US support of Israel was natural and paid off. Soviet Union influenced Egypt&Co. and without Israel there would be no counterbalance. You take out Israel from the equation during cold war and US would be at the mercy of arab states playing great powers against each other (or even worse siding with soviet union). The reason oil sheiks decided to pump money into US economy was not out of a sense of loyalty or charity (they have none) they perceive it as a money making opportunity. P.S How hard is it to understand, we are culturally ALIEN to a state like saudi arabia. Drinking alcohol is a crime there. Whether you like it or not, Israel fits the definition of a modern state and saudi arabia does not. Cultural proximity is not something to arbitrarily throw out when talking about alliances.
