and pay for their own genocide and terror against the Palestinians and Lebanese? Why the hell are we paying for their evil ways? I know, what do you think?

bettysdad.... If the loans are forgiven, that does not mean they are repaid.
US loans to Israel are also a source of much confusion. Israel owes the U.S. government almost $3 billion in economic and military loans. It is often stated by Israeli officials that Israel has never defaulted on a loan from the United States. This is true, but only because loans are waived before default can occur. From FY 1994 through FY 1998, Israel received $29 billion in waived loans. Currently, the total U.S. contingent liability for Israeli loans the amount the US will owe if outstanding loans are not repaid is about $10 billion.

yupchagee....Yes, Israel is unquestionably commting genocide against the Palestinians. What planet are you from not to know this well know fact? Self defense against rocks and malatov cocktails? Please, spare me your Zionist propaganda and give the American people a little credit. Your schmele is getting old. Noone but you and your fellow Zionist friends believe your lies anymore. You may be able to rewrite history in your own books, but ours remain unchanged and accurate.

Tony....where do I begin. Everything you said is so blatently wrong and reads like a case of "I do not know anything by Mr. Dumbass response" that I feel sorry for you in your little knowledgeless world.

castlekeepr....You are completely wrong in all aspects of your answer. Israel is not a free societly. The most recent example of that would be their "Jews only" roads. It is enforced by the military. When I asked the IDF soldier why he enforces such a backwards law, he stated "this is my job lady, I may not agree with it, but have to enforce it."
My knowledge of the Palestine/Israel conflict is extensive, unlike yours which is greatly lacking facts. Blindly following is not my thing, but apears to be yours.

If someone just kept giving you money wouldn't you accept? It's the US who has to say stop.

Maybe when you are older and wiser you will understand. Israel is the only free society in that part of the world. They have their problems and are not perfect, but they have a right to self defense. They are a strong ally of the US.
I suggest before you judge Isreal you visit it, then visit one of their neighbors. As you are female I suggest you be very careful what you wear, say, eat, or do when in any neighboring country- but you will find Israel is much like the USA in it's personal freedoms.
This is why the US supports Israel- it is a pocket of freedom in a region of primitive oppression.
I suggest you, like a lot of US citizens, learn a little more about both sides of this story rather than blindly following people with an agenda.

The saddest thing is that, by being Pro-Israel, we have given cause for Middle-East Christians to be plunged into danger. Lebanese Christians had no problems iliving in Lebanon before Israel tried to blow up that nation. Iraqi Christians don't have problems (according to the Iraq Christian Rapper now living in the US and was being interviewed on Fox today) living under Saddam's Regime. Does make one wonder why we get involved in making the lives of Christians in the Middle east miserable?? And we dare say we're a Christian nation!

Why should they pay?They saw that every time they attack and destroy a country ,there comes the West and pays for every single thing...So Israel destroys,everyone else pays.This is how it always worked and this is how it will work...Israel will never pay for any damage as long as they see that the entire world offers to pay for them...
And now it's not only US taxpayers...also France and the European Union is paying for the destruction that Israel has caused...

America and Israel are strong allies. I am a Christian grandmother and I would join the military to defend Israel if I could. The Lebanese are suffering because of the Hezbollah terrorist bullies. Too bad you can't see it for what it is.
God bless Israel for standing strong.

1) Israel is not engaged in genocide.
2) Israel is not engaged in terror.
3) Israel is only excercising (with incredible restraint) their right to self defense.
4) Israel is our most loyal ally.
5) We give billions to countries that are hostile towards us (Egypt, Jordan). Why do you only question aid to Israel? Never mind, I know the answer.

Since the Israelis are the chosen people, chosen by GOD, I think we're on the right side....But
When will the Palestinians stop the violence against Israel and stop denying there right to exist? The Palestinians have blood on there hands too.
The last time I checked when someone fires a missile into your town you have the right to fire back. No?

Israel gets guaranteed loans from the US, which they use to buy American weapons, keeping American workers working, and the compamies making more money.
Israel repays the loans, and has never missed a payment.
It costs you nothing.

It doesn't even work like that. And it isn't going to happen.
One of those things you are just going to have to probably accept in life.
The US supports Israel, and this is a non-partisan thing.
