Wake up America! IV--Billions in tax dollars to support Jewish racism and fanatic Jewish fundamentalism in Israel.

"On top of all of this aid, a team from Israel¹s finance ministry is
slated to meet with U.S. government officials this month about an
additional $800 million aid package which the Clinton administration
promised Israel (and the Bush administration later froze) as
compensation for the costs of its withdrawal from Lebanon. The U.S.
also managed to find another $28 million in the 2001 Pentagon budget
to give Israel to purchase "counter terrorism equipment."
According to the American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise (AICE),
from 1949-2001 the U.S. has given Israel a total of $134,966,300,000. (This excludes the tens of billions in hidden aid such as the billions in tax exempt Israel Bonds sold in America. Israel is the only nation allowed to sell tax exempt bonds in America)
The direct and indirect aid from this year should put the total U.S.
aid to Israel since 1949 at over 100 billion dollars.
What is not widely known, however, is that most of this aid violates American laws.

The Arms Export Control Act stipulates that US-supplied weapons be used only for "legitimate"

Whatever we are paying Israel to kick terrorist butt, it ain't enough. They are absolutely awesome. All that has been heard out of Arafat lately is whines.

I admire their nation so much for the way they responded to terrorist attacks. Israel is our most strategic ally in our quest for world peace, and there is no price tag on freedom.
