People just pray that USA does not stop any support to Israel.While Pres Bush was in office he did cut backs to Israel.Have you not noticed the decline in everything in USA. The economy, morals, major disasters and now God taking out of everything and they call Christians "Haters" you people have no idea what your in for if you do anymore to God the Jews or Christians you will see devastating disasters to this USA like never before seen here before mere man is not in control God is. I can only hope you find out what is in the Bible "God's Word to man.That was prophycied many years ago and will happen if people turn on God's chosen people.

Dudley wrote in #5The Jewish people will prevail all over the world by right it is their destiny whether you like it or not.Yes, we remember well the cry by another people. 'Deutschland uber alles' was their motto, but their thousand year reich did not survive very long at all. Apparently the shelf life for master races is very short. When the world goes up in flames, under the nuclear clouds, I guest the cockroaches become the master species.

Was there a single israeli tank in Desert Storm?  A single israeli soldier or helicopter in Iraq or Afghanistan? What did israel's "invincible" Merkava tanks do when low-cost little Катюши pulled an Agincourt on them?  They ran for the bunkers and never came out again.  Now Netanyahoo goes to Washington and demands the US pull a Ruby Ridge on Iran, while israel watches from behind the fence. So why send military hardware to israel when it will sit parked while the US does all the fighting as usual. It well documented, they bark like mad dog, as they did for destruction of Iraq, as they were wetting their pants everynight ?, naturally warmongers and greedy armoury suppliers took advantage of situation ,pilled up own poket and bakrupt the US, why americans sleep hungry in the street at the cold days of winter and Rednecl nathanYanou to get thicker neck every day , it is just greed , as much as you give them they make more excuse for asking more,if somebody try to occupy your home what do you do, get out of Plaestine and leave for Natural owners of the Land .Human's Rights ,Liberty , Democrocy ,has been used like a playing cards , shame on you .

In Israel's case it's not really foreign aid, it's tribute.

Sending a single dime to support a religion or a theocracy like Isrealhell is illegal and unconstitutional. The 4 billion a year we give to Isrealhell is in reality 50 billion a year when you include all the foreign aid we give to other countries to keep the peace with Isrealhell, other countries to buy Isrealhell's goods and services, and other countries to bribe their politicians to pass holyco$t laws and laws against antisemitic hate speech. The filthy parasites are sucking the world dry.Zyclon B was orginally developed to kill parasites like lice and fleas. Apparently it works on human parasites, too. Whilst I admire Mr Ron Paul for his true understanding American's present difficulties,unlike other red-neck zionist whom they are barking just to gain a position , he is absolute right instead of wasting US capital for the warmongers and creating further problems to the world , that amount of capital could be used to feed American children which 1/4,lives under poverty line , and most adults whom they have lost the homes and lived and slept in the street at the cold winter night , do you call that Democracy, liberty equality , No I call crimes of Century .

Stop funding Israel and stop all the other nations in the world.  The United States in BROKE!  If individual people want to fund other countries then that's fine, just stop expecting the citizens to pay for it.

The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 was amended by the Symington Amendment (Section 669 of the FAA) in 1976. It banned U.S. economic, and military assistance, and export credits to countries that deliver or receive, acquire or transfer nuclear enrichment technology when they do not comply with IAEA regulations and inspections. This provision, as amended, is now contained in Section 101 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA). The Glenn Amendment (Section 670) was later adopted in 1977, and provided the same sanctions against countries that acquire or transfer nuclear reprocessing technology or explode or transfer a nuclear device. This provision, as amended, is now contained in Section 102 of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA).
Why would the U.S. Congress (House and Senate) and the Administration break the law to fund Israel for anything?  What is it that Israel has on the U.S. that  causes the U.S. to break the law?  Has the U.S. been threatened by Israel in such a way that they will continue to fund Israel at all costs?  Why hasn't this law surfaced and stopped this illegal funding in any of the budget hearings on Foreign Aid?  Is there no spine in any one of the government officials to stop this illegal act?  Why hasn't the law been repealed?

Our tax dollars are being used to bomb and destroy bridges in the Middle East whiles our bridges here in the US are falling off. Our tax dollars are bombing and killing tens of thousands in the Middle East and Africa whiles majority of Americans continue to wallow in poverty. Change indeed

I fully agree with US Congressman Ron Paul, USA must cut off the 3+ Billion in free US Taxpayer cash every year to the Apartheid State of Israel AND 3+ Billion in free US Taxpayer funded Military Weapons every YEAR to that tiny, depraved Apartheid State who has no intentions of acting in a legal, lawful manner with the Palestinian people nor with their neighbours.

A partheid Israel is the biggest parasite on the backs of the US Taxpayers, that tiny nation has sucked up nearly 1 TRILLION dollars in free US taxpayer provided CASH and free Weapons since the UN created Israel in 1948.

Albert Einstein who was asked if he wanted to become Israel's first President told the world of the evil Zionists and Jewish Mafia Don's that were actually running Apartheid Israel and Albert Einstein wanted nothing to do with either.

The depravity of goose stepping Apartheid Israel succeeded in pushing China to align militarily with Russia against US/Israel over Israel's constant threats against Iran. Now Israel's threats to bomb Iran has pushed Pakistan away from it's shaky alliance with USA and now are on the record as stating Pakistan will join Russia,China in attacking any attacker on Iran.

Aparthe id Israel has undermined America's influence and compassion replacing it with global scorn, hatred and immense distrust. Apartheid Israel is run by serial criminals whom only the US Government is preventing being rounded up for massive war crimes and human rights crimes.

Apart heid Israel has stolen some 95% of the Palestinian lands since 1948, the tiny 5% that remains is carved up into ethinic cleansing zones. It is entirely illegal to steal lands thru War as well as under the guise of Self-Defense and keep that stolen land. That is a International Treaty, and International Law since WW2 which Apartheid Israel is and has been a serial criminal and offender of doing.

Nearly 1 Billion around the world pray that Apartheid Israel and it's utterly depraved, corrupt leaders in Tel Aviv, Israel are 'raptured' by a huge Russian Mushroom Cloud via one of the Russian Satan Class mobile ICBM's with 10 MIRV'd warheads finishing off the depraved UN Israeli experimental Apartheid State by mach 20 speeds.

ww Israel has made itself into a militant supremacist theocracy/ethnocracy with ICBM nukes; a very real and rapidly increasing threat to itself and to the whole world. A pariah among nations. Justice demands that UN and NATO impose resolution just as involuntary, disruptive and humiliating to Israel as Israel has wreaked upon occupied Palestine for generations. The Jewish State must be made to recognize an armed Palestine with externally enforced autonomy, eviction of all settlers, true contiguity encompassing Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem together, neither pinched nor parceled, and pay punitive reparation s
