>would not taking away $3B from Egypt as well would give you $6B or you really need only 3

I'd consider that, too... or at least making sure that the 3 billion that goes to Egypt goes to help the people who need it, not the people in power. AFAIK, Egypt is a much poorer country than Israel, and though Israel has its poverty issues lately, our money's going to them for defense.

re: We've helped Israel enough;

Israel gets more than $3 billion.....more like $6 billion. Z was talking about direct aid. There is indirect aid that is provided to Israel......like military equipment.

Meanwhile, Egypt has nearly 80 million people while Israel has 6 million. How fair is that?
