<<Besides, aid to Israel is illegal since Israel is a religious project for the Jewish religion. We are in effect contributing this money to the Jewish religion. Suppose we were contributing similar sums to the Christian religion (90% of American people). I bet the Jews and their supporters would never stop whining.>>

LOL! Well, since 90% of the American people are, as you say, Christians, we do indeed spend more in welfare to our own special religious project. GAO figures for total federal welfare expenditures, posted in 1995, was $223 billion. Does this mean we have a double standard?? Overspending on Christians domestically and overspending on devilish Jews abroad!! Fiendish!!! Certainly every other world faith should be appalled!!! Where's their slice of the American dream????

Do you seriously believe that modern Israel is a religious state? I don't and thus cannot see how foreign aid to them could be considered "aid to the jewish religion."

Modern Israel is a secular state with traditional elements sprinkled in.

I wonder what Yahweh thinks. He seems rather silent of late, no?

FWIW
