Aid (none / 0)
This chart shows US aid to Israel:

Imagine if the $2+ billion per year was used for humanitarian purposes instead.

Paying some sort redress to displaced persons isn't that much of financial burden when seen in this context.

Re: Aid (none / 1)
Shouldnt this chart go back a couple more years, as individual years, to where Bush I actually withheld aid to Israel, and actually got some level of reasonableness out of them? Now it's worked before, so why not try it again?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
