Another amazing paradox (see my last mail).
We give money to Israel to spend with our arms manufacturers. Then we give
money (or gave money or continue to give money but through secondary channels)
to the Palestinians (sp) so Israel will have some place to use those arms we
sold them.
Sounds like a big handout to the arms makers to me, it might be cheaper to just
give the money to the arms makers and have them give the arms to Israel for
free.

Israel should stop getting aid! They received 2.4 BILLION in 08.... Most
of that money is then spent back with *our* arms manufacturers. So
basically your hard earned tax money is going straight into the pockets
of the military industrial complex and our country doesn't even get the
goods. What a scam. Don't they have their own money? Didn't we invade
Iraq so that we wouldn't have to rely on Israel who routinely breaks
with the Geneva convention and has time and time again committed atrocities?
