More wasted $Billions for Israel defense. Stop the aid, period. Israel wants defense, pay for it yourselves. < :-)

Obama bows to islamic religious leaders and called the ayatolla the great leader... he probably wants Iran to have nukes.
The aid we give to Israel is nothing more then an American defense industry payout. America having influence over Israeli decisions though is worth the aid we give them.
We give a few billion a year to Israel, congress gave over 10 billion to Acorn and are giving them more where is the fiscal outrage?

Don't think so. It's to protect Israel. I didn't miss anything. < :-)

adaydream,
If it was for protecting Israel, one would think Israel would be included in the umbrella. According to the article Israel does not appear to be included. The quote you pasted mentions US 'allies'. Do you think Israel is the only US ally in the region? Further, are you under the impression no other countries in the region receive aid from the US. Yes, it does seem like you missed something in the article...maybe a couple of things.

Israel isn't a US 'ally'. The relationship goes much deeper than that.

It does for a lot of Americans but Obama views Israel through the exact same way the terrorists and the islamic regimes does.
