ISRAEL INCREASED ITS DEMANDS!

DOES ANYONE BESIDES ME SEE SOMETHING WRONG HERE?

The Prime Minister of Israel publicly disses our President.   Israel refuses to compromise in its dealings with the Palestinians in a peaceful two state solution.

This is an article copied from The Middle East Monitor:



According to a correspondent on political affairs at Haaretz, senior officials within the Obama administration recently confirmed speculations that Israel receives more than 50 per cent of the aid given by the US globally each year. In fact, the majority of the US aid given to Israel was so that the Israel could defend itself against the Iranian nuclear threat, which has since diminished after the nuclear deal was signed. And yet, as a result of this deal, a serious discussion has begun between the two sides: the US and Israel. Israeli Minister of Defence Moshe Ya’alon placed Israel’s demands on the table in Washington and the ball is new in America’s court as Israel is currently fearful of the US changing its preference from offensive weapons to defensive ones.   

Fifty percent of our foreign aid goes to Israel - who knew?    Notice the part about Israel's demands.

According to an article published by the US-based publication the Christian Science Monitor in 2002, Israel had cost the United States more than $1.6 trillion since 1973, which means that every US citizen had paid $5,700 to Israel according to the US’s population. According to economic specialist Thomas Stover, who is currently based in Washington, the total cost of US military and economic support embodied in the figure mentioned above is more than double the cost of the Vietnam War. It is well known that Stover has angered many Jews over the last few decades due to his research on the Middle East conflict.

Now Netanyahu says he may not meet with the US President until after the next election.  

This pisses me off.   We have failing infrastructure here in the US, we have an outmoded rail system, our deficit is through the roof, Congress squabbles over funding social programs, and we are pumping money into Israel without so much as a thank you.

THE US AND ISRAEL ALLIANCE

The following is a broadcast aired on The Real News.   This is not a favorite news source for me, but the interview with Glenn Greenwald is interesting - if you can stay awake through it to the end.   Greenwald is Jewish in case you are wondering.

THE OL’BUZZARD’S ANTI-SEMATIC RANT

WHEN I STARTED THE BLOG THE IDEA WAS TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS.

Yes, I have a problem with the Jewish religion……and the Christian religion…. and the Moslem religion …..and the ….. all religions in general.

This violence we are experiencing in the middle-east has been caused by fanatical Christians publishing a movie that enraged fanatical Moslems, resulting in the death of four American embassy personnel and an international dilemma for our country.

Religious intolerance accounts for the majority of violence, oppression and conflict in the world; and, throughout the world, religious instigated unrest far out ways any good that is done by local churches on the micro-level.   This is nothing new.   The bloody history of religion has been the bane of the human race from the earliest recorded history. 

The contempt toward the United States throughout the middle-east is the result of two factors: Our politicians loudly avowing that the U.S. is a Christian nation, and our blind allegiance to The State of Israel.  

Our support of Israel, as much as anything else, has made us a pariah among Arab nations.   Israel’s constant intrusion with new settlements into Palestinian territory, along with Israel’s suppression and mistreatment of the Palestinian people continually enrages Arabs throughout the middle-east and by extension inflames sentiment against the United States.

Because of the Jewish influence (money, votes and some Armageddon prediction adored by fundamentalist Christians) our legislative branch of government refuses to set parameters by which The State of Israel can expect our support.   Without our support Israel could not exist; yet, the Israeli government constant acts independently, and often against the best interest of the United States and peace in the middle-east.   This absolute commitment without constraints will cost us dearly at some point in the future.
