I am so tired of seeing on this sight people seeming to link the United States with the fighting going on in Lebanon and "Palestine". Why do so many in the world beg for American international intervention when it is in their interest and cry foul when we act internationally for our own interests?
As for the aid, sure, we give it to them; but, we don't tell them how to use it. I don't hear anyone complaining to Russia about the AK-47s that are in the hands of every goon in the world. How about getting off our backs?!

Here in the US, if I gave someone money, they went and bought a gun (because they could never have afforded one without my help) and they went and killed your family.....you would be pissed off at me! Yeah you'd be mad at the guy, it is his fault, but you would still not be happy with me.
I really cant say supporting Israel is in America's best interest. They have yet to give us ANYTHING of value, despite being the recipient of the most US aid of any other country. It's sad that a powerful Jewish lobby in America can give another country a green light to do what it wants, when it wants, to whomever it wants.

The US just gives them the money. What Israel does with it should not be blamed on the US. It's like giving someone a screwdriver to fix something and they end up killing someone walking by. Is that your fault? Of course not

Your Accounting needs to be updated. It use to recieve two to $3,000,000,000,000 each year but that number now is ten to $14,000,000,000,000 EACH year for the past BUSH ADMINISTRATION years meaning 5 years.
Remember: When you hand over your pistol to your accomplice who then shoots a police officer, you both will be charged with his murder. Same thing applies to the US and Israel. Self Defence by going on Killing Spree?
