No they don't get nearly 6 billion from the US tejek. The amount offered last year was 2.3billion and there is the prospect that Obama would it back, and congress is not willing to allocate it in the future. Your strategy wont work. Try again. ====================== Concerns in Israel as Obama calls for sacrifice TEL AVIV — Israel's government is facing the prospect that President Barack Obama may press for a cut in military aid to the Jewish state while pressing an agenda to boost the U.S. economy. Government sources said Obama advisers have raised the possibility that Israel would offer to forego some of the $2.3 billion in U.S. aid allocated for fiscal 2009. The sources said the advisers said Israel could serve as an example for a comprehensive cut in U.S. foreign aid over the next year. "The U.S. aid to Israel is already set in law, but there's a problem of Obama looking for money to save the American economy while we're getting our usual allocation," a government source said. So far, congressional leaders have not formally raised the issue of a unilateral reduction in U.S. military aid to Israel. But the sources said neither the Senate nor the House leadership appeared ready to commit to the same level of U.S. military aid to Israel for fiscal 2010 amid the debate over the $1 trillion package to save the American economy. worldtribune.com
