‘borrowing From China To Give To Israel’

[Shinobi]

Every day another American speaks out against israel. Soon there will be no one left to support it.

A letter to the editor of The Olympian online:

Congress should deny foreign aid to Israel

Israel is again lobbying our Congress for its annual handout. If past behavior is any indicator, Congress will borrow the money (from China) to provide Israel an aid package worth over $5 billion. This represents one-third of our foreign aid in spite of the fact Israel makes up only 0.001 percent of the world’s population, and has one of the world’s higher per capita incomes.

President Carter, in his book, “Peace, Not Apartheid,” says our unconditional support for Israel is a major source of worldwide anti- American sentiment, and a factor in increasing our risk from terrorists. In spite of the fact that a majority of Israelis favor an end of the occupation and a two-state solution, the Israeli government continues its illegal occupation of Palestinian territories, confiscates its water resources and its most fertile land, builds illegal settlements and brutally dominates all aspects of Palestinian lives.

Financial aid from the United States provides the tanks, helicopter gun ships and F-16s Israel uses to commit atrocities against a population that has no military, no rights and no basic protections.

Jews deserve a homeland if they want one, but it should be on land they have obtained lawfully. They deserve support and respect from the international community but they must earn it by behaving like law-abiding members of that community. We need to tell our Congress to grow a backbone and say no to the Israeli lobby. Helping the world’s poor (and our own poor) are more honorable and worthy causes.
