USA and Israel at the same time

Actually, England gave them the land not America.\n\nI don't know the answer because half of the problems in the Mid East wouldn't be there if America didn't support Israel. Israel doesn't have oil so you would think the US would side with the Arabs..  \n\nIf you listen to all of the Israelis against the Palestinians, they usually have NY accents.\n\nHowever, I am not taking sides with either party because the Arabs treat the Bantu people in Chad and The Sudan badly and come over here with prejudices.

Get it through your heads.  Israel has controlled American policy since 1948.  It's the "New World Order".

Yah maybe we should just stop funding Israel.\n EDIT: I would ask if you are joking, but judging by the collective intelligence of this country I know you are not. I will not bother to explain this to anyone who doesn't already know because you will never separate fact from fiction. Israel is a terrorist government that attacks other countries then cries when the country attacks back. The war on terror is the biggest load of crap this country has been fed since the war on communism.\n I also have to seriously question the intelligence of anyone who advocates a country being created based on something the Bible says. I wasn't aware God was in the real estate business.

Oh, you are so perceptive!  Yes, I think it is THE KEY.  For whatever reason, and rightly or wrongly, the Israelis are seen as the aggressors, and the USA is seen as the supporter of everything Israel does.  We give Israel more foreign aid than we give to anyone else, and the Arabs conclude that we could force Israel to do what we really wanted--therefore, whatever Israel does, the USA must be backing it.The Arab/Muslim world would not focus its resentment on us to the extent it does if there were a genuine peace in Palestine; and if there were peace there would be a chance of prosperity and jobs, and the lives of the Palestinians would not be so desperate that suicide bombing would continue to be a worthwhile alternative.  I think that 9/11 is the direct result of the continuing war in Palestine, and our penalty for our failure to differentiate the USA from everything Israel does.

I am surprised that the U.S. was giving any aid to the Palistine Authority as we do not support terrorism and Yassir Afrifat was considered one of the foremost terrorist leaders in the world 40 years ago.  The Palistine Autority has agreed to return the Money.  You say shame on the U.S. for asking for this money back, yet Hamas wants Israel driven into the sea, which is against the policy of the U.S. foreign policy.  Hamas has said they do not want to change their belief's that Israel should not exist and the U.S. asked for the return of our money.  Fundimentalist Muslims want the destruction of the U.S. because we support Israels right to exist.  Does it make sense to you that we should support those who are against our policy?  Foreign Aid is for those countries that support our policies in principal.  The Palistine Authority understands this and has agreed to return the money.  Everybody says it is Allah's will that the U.S. must be destroyed, however in the meantime they all want to spend our money.  Do you see a conflict here?

Much in the same way the Cuban-American population has exerted political influence over US foreign policy towards Cuba, the Jewish-American population (which is, by the way, larger than the Israeli Jewish population) has consistently lobbied for a US protected Israel.\n\nAlso, Israel is not a theocracy, it is a secular country of Jewish people.\n\nIt is also worth noting that Egypt receives more foreign aid from the US than Israel does.  And the Palestinian Authority  gets a huge chunk of change too.  It's not the fault of the US and Israel that the PA and Egypt are so corrupt that the aid gets pocketed by the leaders while the people are left destitute and seething with anger.

He gives millions of dollars away every year to charities and other organizations.  Just one shining example of this is India's National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) Receives $23 Million Commitment from Gates Foundation\nOctober 24, 2006\nThe $23 million is part of an additional $58 million committed to Avahan, the Gates Foundation’s India AIDS Initiative, a five year, $258 million HIV prevention program.

about $85-$90.  But it really depends on the political situation. if USA attacks iran then the oil prices will shoot up to $100-$120.\n\nThe best thing is to accumulate gold as the price of gold mimics the price of oil

Right now it is 21 trillion, and they inherited 20 trillion, with a balanced budget. So, in 6 years the Republicans have more than doubled our national debt. That is $30,000.00 dollars a piece for every American man, woman, and child to pay "TODAY" and it's going up. The New York Times reporting.

Israel is a terrorist state backed by America and assisting it in its fight against Islam. Unless Muslim states join together and fight against these terrorists this killing will continue.

Embargo the entire area, cut all aid to the region.  Offer a $200,000 USD per hour bounty (split evenly) on civil peace talks between Israeli and Palestinian delegates -- which puts them in a situation where if they want to get aid from us they have to help their enemies also get aid from us.  Both sides sit at the table and start chatting (in a friendly, civil way) and both sides get to send aid money home.  But if there are insults, silence, that kind of thing -- no pay out.\n\nOnce they start getting in the habit of being civil to each other for extended periods of time, maybe we can talk about a serious peace plan that won't get de-railed by umpteen rounds of reprisal attacks for some lunatic terrorist's attack.  And the moment that the talks do get derailed by somebody attacking somebody else, the money stops flowing -- to both sides.  Put simply, there's no point in punishing one side in a cycle of violence that's gone on since the book of Genesis...\n\n(Consider: The USA gives roughly $2B per year to Israel and was giving $.2B to Palestine.  If we can keep them chatting away happily for 24 hours per day for an entire year, both sides will have gained almost a billion dollars.  Massive decrease for Israel's aid budget, but a huge increase for Palestine's aid budget -- all while saving the US 10% on regional aid for Israel and Palestine.  The incentive is for Palestine to keep the peace talks civil and engaged (hugely more money than they're used to getting) while the incentive for Israel is to get to an actual peace plan so we can go back to feeding them the $2B/yr that they're used to.)

Yes, but I don't expect it to happen. The US supports Israel, regardless of what they do. They regularly veto resolutions against Israel in the UN. They support Israel, the 6th richest country in the world, with 1/3 third of all foreign aid. The Pro-Israel lobby is the largest lobbying group in Washington. We are not interested in solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict because it makes our weapons suppliers a lot of money.\n\nWe overthrow governments to install democracy, but when Palestine democratically elected Hamas, we refuse to deal with them. The hypocrisy is laughable.\n\nWe need to not take sides in the conflict. It is not our fight. Supporting one side while chastising the other is not the way to achieve peace.

No. And No. Americans are heavily taxed as it is. The Bible reads render to Ceasar { meaning the government }  that is due Ceaser and to God the things that are His. This does not mean to pay half of what you make to taxes as it seems that it is going toward that way.

The US spends about 9.3 billion in foreign aid each year.  \n\nIn comparison, the US spends 255 billion on medicaid alone, another 535 billion on social security.  \n\nSo the amount we spend on foreign poor (and not all that 9.3 billion is even meant for the poor) is less than 1.1%, and that's not counting billions more on welfare programs, earned income tax credits, grants, ect.  The actual number is probably half a percent or less.\n\nSo I have to say your question is based on improper assumtions.  If the US stopped all foreign aid tommorrow it wouldn't make much differance to the average poor american, except that it might make the world an even more dangerous place for us.
