The paragraph below is typical of the blatant misrepresentation that jew haters love to employ: 1) the $3 billion that Israel receives has strings, whic hmainly require Israel to buy US military hardware., so basically this is US corporate welfare: 2) the $9 billion you claim they are getting, is actually just a backing for a loan, which Israel has always repaid. we'll see how much Iraq repays, and there arent any Jews there Few Americans fully realize that this is what our American tax dollars are supporting in Israel, the 16th wealthiest country per capita in the world with the 3rd or 4th strongest army in the world. Israel receives a minimum of $4 billion US tax dollars yearly, but some years, including this year Israel asks for and receives even more American tax dollars. Just this year Israel asked for and received $9 billion more on top of the usual $4 billion. Most of this aid is used on military weapons and building illegal Jewish settlements on stolen Palestinian land, and now the Apartheid Wall, which is illegally annexing even more Palestinian land

As more and more Americans learn the truth about Israel and realize how billions of their tax dollars are being spent in such a racist country , they may demand an end to U.S. support of apartheid Israel. What a joke, the US only supported Israel AFTER they depfeated the Soviet backed arab armies in the 73 war. Prior to that, the Israeli's relied mostly on France for their weapons, and the 48 war was fought with the help of the Czeck's, not the US

PA Trying Everything but Fighting Terrorism 15:01 Oct 21, '03 / 25 Tishrei 5764 (IsraelNN.com) Yasser Arafat, PA Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), and PA Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia (Abu Ala) all refuse to confront Hamas and other terrorists, insisting they cannot take steps that would lead to a civil war. Nevertheless, the PA continues to condemn Israel’s military incursions and counter-terrorism offensives that do result in collateral damage – the direct result of terrorists being permitted to base in civilian population centers. PA security forces continue turning a blind eye while terrorists turn out at funerals for terrorists in large numbers, firing automatic weapons wildly in the air, unimpeded by police or other security troops. At the opening of a meeting in Ramallah today, Arafat issued a call to Arab nations and the international community to take action against Israel following yesterday’s aerial attacks in Gaza. No mention was made regarding the ongoing PA failure to take basic steps towards stopping terror organizations that continue tenacious efforts to perpetrate attacks against Israel.

The Culture of Death in Gaza by Arno Weinstein Oct 21, '03 / 25 Tishrei 5764 E-mail This Print Homepage On October 15, 2003, an American diplomatic convoy traveling in the Arab-controlled section of the Gaza Strip was tragically attacked by terrorist thugs. The result was twofold: the horrific murder of three American security personnel and America’s introduction to the Palestinian Authority’s “culture of death.” The explosive device was hidden in one of the many ruts pitting the sides of the main road through Gaza. The terrorists detonated the powerful bomb as the second of three armored vehicles of the American Embassy convoy passed. According to press reports, the terrorist attack was carefully orchestrated, ensuring that the remote-controlled weapon hit its intended victim with maximum damage. The attack was the first fatal act of terror perpetrated against American diplomatic staff in the most recent phase of the Olso War, begun three years ago by the Palestinian Authority. The reason for the diplomatic trip to Gaza was a visit by the Cultural Attaché of the United States Embassy to Arab educational centers seeking Fulbright scholarship candidates for graduate studies in the United States. Instead of “building bridges” between the Arabs of Gaza and Americans, the diplomatic entourage found the harsh realities of the culture of death. The same culture of death thrust upon the Jewish People of Israel for the entirety of the Oslo War entered the world of the Americans with lethal effect. The heavily armored Chevrolet Suburban was literally split in two by the explosion. Human tissue and mangled metal were hurled meters from the five-meter-wide, 2.5-meter-deep crater of the explosion. As atrocious as the deaths of John Branchizio, 37, from Texas, Mark Parson, 31, from New York State, and John Martin Linde, 30, from Missouri are, their lost lives only begin to shed light upon the culture of death. Not to trivialize the pain suffered by the family and friends of the murder victims, however, the rest of the story is far more significant to policy formulation and an accurate understanding of the terrorists’ mindset. The second part of America’s glimpse of the culture of death occurred on the heels of the bombing. U.S. agents sent to investigate the scene of the terror attack were pelted with scores of rocks from every direction. Arab children with hate in their eyes and the chants of “Allah ‘u akbar” on their lips hurled rock after rock with deadly intent. The same rocks from the same Arab children Israeli civilians and soldiers have endured for the last 20 years. The American investigators escaped with their lives as Palestinian Authority armed forces fired on the Arab children; the children of hate they themselves have created in a perverse world of inverted truth. With the elevation of chaos and mayhem, lies and deceit above all else, the PA has produced a society gone mad, unrulable by friend or foe. It is wrong to view the terrorists as an anomaly within the society created by the Palestinian Authority. The world of hatred, lies, treachery and death-worship created by the Palestinian Authority will not go away and is at the very center of international terror. It is this ideological center, funded by Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the European Union, that Usama bin Ladin used as his model. The difficult truth is that there can be no answer to international Islamic terrorism until the Palestinian Authority is unmasked and destroyed. Further, it is the platform of rejectionism, Islamic fundamentalism and the politics of anarchy that come together (an unimaginable nexus for the Western scholars) as the basis for the Arab demands against Israel. President George W. Bush hinted at an understanding of the reality in laying blame for the terror attack at the foot of the Palestinian Authority. Unfortunately, the U.S. ambassador to Israel displayed his over-the-top ignorance by calling on Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority to catch the terrorists. The least toxic and most effective means of defusing this core of terrorist vitality (it is indeed an evolving Weltanschauung of PA creation) is the disengagement from the Arab agenda against the State of Israel. The facts on the ground must reflect the refusal to entertain the terror agenda. Israel must be forced to establish her borders with the complete annexation of lands acquired during the defensive war of 1967. Additionally, Israel must be made to complete the exchange of populations, repatriating the Arabs in Israeli territory to Arab lands (any one or a combination of the 21 countries they possess) in exchange for the 850,000 Jewish refugees taken in by Israel from Arab states. The war on terror will not be won until the culture of death has lost its power and influence, until the Arab demands of the Jewish State are dismissed with contempt. When the United States reverses it traditional solutions to the Arab-Israel conflict - namely, Israeli capitulation to Arab demands - the world will be well on its way to ending international terrorism. Fundamental to this process is ending the refusal of the U.S. State Department and the European Union to understand the simple truth that the Oslo War and the War on Terrorism are indeed one and the same.
