Answer 2

True Lies About U.S. Aid to Israel

Washington Post

By Richard H. Curtiss
For many years the American media said that "Israel receives $1.8 billion in military aid" or that "Israel receives $1.2 billion in economic aid." Both statements were true, but since they were never combined to give us the complete total of annual U.S. aid to Israel, they also were lies—true lies.

Recently Americans have begun to read and hear that "Israel receives $3 billion in annual U.S. foreign aid." That's true. But it's still a lie. The problem is that in fiscal 1997 alone, Israel received from a variety of other U.S. federal budgets at least $525.8 million above and beyond its $3 billion from the foreign aid budget, and yet another $2 billion in federal loan guarantees. So the complete total of U.S. grants and loan guarantees to Israel for fiscal 1997 was $5,525,800,000.

One can truthfully blame the mainstream media for never digging out these figures for themselves, because none ever have. They were compiled by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. But the mainstream media certainly are not alone. Although Congress authorizes America's foreign aid total, the fact that more than a third of it goes to a country smaller in both area and population than Hong Kong probably never has been mentioned on the floor of the Senate or House. Yet it's been going on for more than a generation.

Probably the only members of Congress who even suspect the full total of U.S. funds received by Israel each year are the privileged few committee members who actually mark it up. And almost all members of the concerned committees are Jewish, have taken huge campaign donations orchestrated by Israel's Washington, DC lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), or both. These congressional committee members are paid to act, not talk. So they do and they don't.

Answer 3

Lets not forget how much to Pakistan.
when everyone Knew -- befor it was recently made public as it was this last month, that pakistan has been harbouring Al Queda.

Heck, several months ago, MSNBC did a report where one journalist hoped on a bus over the border into pakistan, and was not ever checked.
Back and forth he went (on camera) and no one checked him for weapons or papers.

Pakistn said there was too many people to keep security tight.
But no efforts were done.

And how many billions have we given them?

Answer 4

They maybe give more than 10 billion dollars each year to Israel.

The U.S government should give that money to the palastinians and help its own people.

Answer 5

Is it true that the US gives billions to Egypt and many other countries as well?

Yet you don't seem to be concerned about that.

Answer 6

That 10 million should go to poor Palestinians instead. US foreign policy is morally bankrupt.

Answer 7

Nope, it is not true.

It is about 3 billion a year.

Answer 8

No, we give them 3, and Egypt is right behing them with 2.1.

Answer 9

so?

one question at a time please....
