<No nations have friends in the sense most people use the term.>

Canada, (most of non-aligned Europe), Australia, Britain, France and Germany come close. That's what I meant - Israel is no "Canada". To align our interests with Israel over the member nations of the Security Council is stupid. Everyone else imports oil - why didn't they agree that Iraq is the great Satan that needed to be attacked right away? The simplest answer is that Iraq didn't need to be attacked right away. Similarly, we are out of touch with policy on Israel. They are the nuke bearing barbary pirates. Look at how much they have extracted form us in aid.

Since 1974, Israel has received nearly $80 billion in assistance, including three special aid packages.

I think this number is low.
