While the entire nation is debating about taxes (complete distraction from the root of the nation's real economic problems), look who is getting even MORE cash from the feckless American debt slaves. America's foreign policy, dominated by Zionists, as stated by Helen Thomas and many others, is destroying the economy. *** The House of Representatives earlier this week approved a significant increase in the level of military aid to Israel, pushing the level to $3 billion in flat military aid, with an additional $205 million set aside for a short range rocket system. Both of the increases were already planned as part of a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Israel, but were formally approved as part of the 212-206 vote in the House on Wednesday. Rep. Steve Rothman (D – NJ) said the increase in aid to Israel “sends a strong message to both our enemies and allies,” but also comes at a time when the US has only just abandoned the Israeli peace process over its inability to convince Israel to agree to even a short term freeze. added by: maasanova
