Your self-serving Zionist deception wont work! Francis Stauffer is a respected professional AMERICAN economist who was invited by the US War College to detail the total cost to the US taxpayers for supporting Israel. He did such an excellent job that it's driving the Jewish-American Israel Firsters like yourself nutsy. $1.6 million for each Israeli family of four. If we cut Mr. Stauffer's figures in half, we still get $800,000,000,000 (that's eight hundred billions) or only $800,000 of werlfare for each Jewish family of four living in Israel. The adjustement for inflation, the hundreds of billions in military sales lost because of the Israeli lobby, the impact on the American economy for alienating the oil producing nations over Israel, etc. etc. etc. It's all there! Please remember to include the $10 Billion in the current budget approved two weeks ago plus the $100 billion for Israel's demand that America invade Iraq. Now Israel is demanding another several hundred billions for America to invade Syria and Iran. •<i? US Jewish charities and organizations have remitted grants or bought Israel bonds worth $50 billion to $60 billion. Though private in origin, the money is "a net drain" on the United States economy, says Stauffer.• The US has already guaranteed $10 billion in commercial loans to Israel, and $600 million in "housing loans." (See editor's note below.) Stauffer expects the US Treasury to cover these.• The US has given $2.5 billion to support Israel's Lavi fighter and Arrow missile projects.• Israel buys discounted, serviceable "excess" US military equipment. Stauffer says these discounts amount to "several billion dollars" over recent years.• Israel uses roughly 40 percent of its $1.8 billion per year in military aid, ostensibly earmarked for purchase of US weapons, to buy Israeli-made hardware. It also has won the right to require the Defense Department or US defense contractors to buy Israeli-made equipment or subsystems, paying 50 to 60 cents on every defense dollar

I did not read the entire article he submitted, but caught the comment of Israel costing each American $5700. If this is $5700 dollars since 1973, that equates to 190 bucks each year. I spend more than that on Starbucks. :)

you are no different than the other racists who infest these boards Actually, he's probably the most intense racist on the site. There have been a couple of others but they got booted quickly. Evile is smart enough to know exactly where to draw the line so he can stay here. He has family that use his account, by the way. You can recognize the real Evile because he misspells words. The rest of his klan (oops, I spelled that wrong) have the same point of view but appear to have GEDs.
