Closer to $200 billion when you consider the servicing of the tens of billions in guaranteed loans, the tens of millions lost in taxes through the sale of tens of billions in TAX EXEMPT Israeli bonds in America over the last fifty years(Israel is the only nation allowed to sell tax exempt state bonds), the billions hidden under phony titles in various departments to hide the total amount of aid to Israel. For example, looking only at 2002 we find that Israel has received above and beyond the $3.5 billion, $200 million is an outright gift to fight terrorism, $75 to the Justice Dept to help Israel search for WWII war criminals (how ironic since the majority of living war criminals like Sharon are Jews living in Israel) and additional $800 million is being negotiated as we speak. Again, the 2002 estimates do not include the items hidden in the various departments to hide the total foreign aid to Israel. Eric Margolis of the Toronto Times has estimated that the total given to Israel annually (including the hidden allotments) is greater than $6 billion annually. The $200 billion estimate is conservative and is probably considerably short of the actual amount. We have not even discussed the special trade and economic arrangements that allows foreign nations to deliver their products to Israel where the Jews add an Israeli tariff to move the products into the American market. The Israeli dumping of foreign products on the US market does great damage to American corporations and their ability to compete fairly. When we considered that their are only 4 million + Jews in Israel, the total welfare payments to an Israeli family of four comes to $200,000 in the last fifty years. There is NO state in the Union that receives this level of federal aid. With $200,000 for every Jewish family of four, Israel is the greatest welfare state in the world.
