Thread: Oh those poor Jews

Must be tough--- 20 Billion US dollars a year in outright GRANTS.

Yeah and we don't give anyone else any money ever ever ever only Israel because they are Jews

....with Israel being the largest annual recipient of American aid from 1976 to 2004 and the largest cumulative recipient of aid since World War II. Almost all U.S. aid to Israel is now in the form of military assistance (helicopter gunships, naval surface to air and surface to surface missiles, tanks, drones, infrared weaponry). Strong congressional support for Israel has resulted in Israel's receiving benefits not available to other countries.[2]

For what exactly? They developed nuke capabilities via a French nuke physicist in the 1950s. They are estimated to have a minimum of 40 warheads and a max of 200 (whıch I thınk ıs a bıt hıgh). They have had supersonic jets simce the 60s and currently have 29 upgraded F-16s. I wont go ınto the rest of the naval and aerial capacities.

The piggy banks of little kids across the U.S.

"... According to the report published by the Congressional Research Service Israel has received more assistance from the US than 15 European countries and Japan did to recover from the devastation caused during World War II."

"Report for Selected Countries and Subjects". World Economic Outlook (International Monetary Fund). 9 October 2012. Retrieved 18 October 2012.


More than 87 billion dollars of the Washington’s aid to Israel has been in military, the report said.
