Nakba.

Come on, Anti-Zionist: Tell us how the political parties of the Near East began as Nazi allies during the 1930s. Tell us about "Arab Socialism". Tell us about the one-party rule in their miserable nations. Tell us how much you love the dictatorships abroad that you try to enforce on one broad at home. Pathetic bully. We know you for what you are.

[YuSoWrong]

Arab fascism, dictator-worshiping emo boy.

Aunty Zion:

Why are people like you always so adept at spotting their own problems in others?

I`ve answered my own question, haven`t I?

[YuSoWrong]

What about yo mama, Osama?

I've asked Anti-Zionist in all of its twisted aliases to explain why the Near East's only republic, with a multiparty political system, a court system, the right of free speech and private property, is worse than the randomly-created states that are its sworn enemies: the Kingdoms, Gangland Turf, Dictatorships whose existence are his own soul writ large.

Anti-Zionist can't answer and won't answer, because Anti-Zionist is a troll and a possibly a fringe racist. No matter. Everyone sees the game and the shame.

[YuSoWrong]

We're not at the Nazi/Jihad brotherhood meeting. Go hide there.

You're the kind of American patriot that John Adams would have had shot.

This estimate of total U.S. direct aid to Israel updates the estimate given in the July 2006 issue of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. It is an estimate because arriving at an exact figure is not possible, since parts of U.S. aid to Israel are a) buried in the budgets of various U.S. agencies, mostly that of the Defense Department (DOD), or b) in a form not easily quantifiable, such as the early disbursement of aid, giving Israel a direct benefit in interest income and the U.S. Treasury a corresponding loss. Given these caveats, our current estimate of cumulative total direct aid to Israel is $113.8554 billion.

It must be emphasized that this analysis is a conservative, defensible accounting of U.S. direct aid to Israel, NOT of Israel?s cost to the U.S. or the American taxpayer, nor of the benefits to Israel of U.S. aid. The distinction is important, because the indirect or consequential costs suffered by the U.S. as a result of its blind support for Israel exceed by many times the substantial amount of direct aid to Israel. (See, for example, the late Thomas R. Stauffer?s article in the June 2003 Washington Report, ?The Costs to American Taxpayers of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: $3 Trillion.?)


BTW, I am not anti Semetic, but instead american patriot and hate to see my country exploited by anyone.

First of all: I ain't Jewish. Second of all, Mercer Island is an enclave of stuck-up white rich kids of all persuasions. Bill Gates lives there. 85% white. Surprised there were any Jews for you to even have an opinion. Just go whip your severants.

[YuSoWrong]

Hamas and Hebollah are inventions of the Israelis?! Ah hahahahaha.

Aunty Zion:

SEMITIC refers to Jew or Arab.

ANTI-SEMITIC means anti-Jewish.

Like most semi-literate, half-educated morons, you don`t know the difference between the MEANING and DERIVATION of a word.

According to your twisted (feminine) logic, a hysterical MAN has problems with his WOMB.

blitzder:

The majority of Israeli Jews are of Middle Eastern and North African -- not European -- origin.

In the 1970s, Jordan shelled and bombed a Palestinian refugee settlement ruthlessly, relentlessly and mercilessly for three days until no-one fired back. 20,000 Palestinians, mostly innocent women and children, were killed.

Why did they do this? The refugee settlement housed Yasir Arafat`s PLO HQ and he`d attempted unsuccessfully to launch a coup to overthrow the Jordanian government.

What gave Jordan the right to kill all of these innocent people who hadn`t done them any harm?

Name anything Israel`s done over a three-day period that even comes close to this.
