Re: Is supprt for israel really required (V)

If someone wants to support Israel let them do it with the money out of their own pocket.

I don't think we should send money to ANY nation.

Same thing with any other cause. You want to save the world? Use your own money.

Don't force all US citizens to fund your personal projects!

You must have read that anti-free trade isolationist George Washington's Farewell Address. Such views are no longer politically correct, and will eventually be declared a mental illness, like anti-soviet thinking disorder was...

Could you please explain why we shouldn't aid another country's growth as a partner and ally? Not saying I'm agreeing that we should support other countries with monies from taxpayers, just want to know your reasons not to do so. Please examine the chart carefully then give your answer.

It doesn't show how much has been "skimmed" off the top!

The money is then used for payoffs, like bribery and graft. Why do outgoing politicians get
paid such exorbitant speaking fees, and royalties for books no one really reads?

"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in
extending our commercial relations to have as little political
connection as possible... Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of
any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of
European ambition, rivalships, interest, humor, or caprice?... It is our
true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of
the foreign world." George Washington

1 dollar of US money is too much.. because it is our taxes funding someone else dreams and ambitions.

I don't think the government should be handing out money BUT if they do take care of needy people at home before you start handing cash out to kids in the neighborhood.

Oh and it always, I mean ALWAYS backfires on us in the end. TOO many examples to list.

But if Israel is our ally then we should be able to help that ally, and anytime we get in trouble they will return the favor. So, it works both ways.

That's the theory, anyway.
