Israel has become nothing but a rock around our necks and one big monthly paycheck at a time when our own are suffering. Time to cut the cord and let them stand on their own two feet. |

In fact, I would say the show put on in Tuscon was nothing more than theater of the mind. Pay Close Attention to all of this! |

Foreign aid should be on the top of the list!! Help America and Americans first, then if something is left over help those that are in the most need, not via cronyism nor favoritism. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1177209 United States 01/28/2011 07:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | U.S. Democrats and pro-Israel lobbies slammed on Thursday comments made by newly elected Republican Senator and Tea Party representative Rand Paul who suggested that the United States should halt all foreign aid including its financial aid to Israel. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1137725In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday Paul said that “Reuters did a poll, and 71 percent of American people agree with me that when we're short of money, where we can't do the things we need to do in our country, we certainly shouldn't be shipping the money overseas.” When asked by Blitzer if he wanted to halt an annual $3 billion that go to Israel, Paul replied affirmatively, explaining that Egypt recieves almost the same amount . "You have to ask yourself, are we funding an arms race on both sides? I have a lot of sympathy and respect for Israel as a democratic nation, as, you know, a fountain of peace and a fountain of democracy within the Middle East. But at the same time, I don't think funding both sides of the arm race, particularly when we have to borrow the money from China to send it to someone else. We just can't do it anymore. The debt is all- consuming and it threatens our well-being as a country,” Paul said. “Senator Paul’s proposal would undermine the decades-long bipartisan consensus on U.S. support for Israel. Any erosion of support should concern Israel’s friends on both sides of the political aisle, and we call in particular on leaders and donors in Senator Paul’s party to repudiate his comments and ensure that American leadership around the world is not threatened by this irresponsible proposal," the statement issued by J Street read. (...) Meanwhile, Republican Jewish Coalition Executive Director Matthew Brooks issued a statement saying "we share Senator Paul's commitment to restraining the growth of federal spending, but we reject his misguided proposal to end U.S. assistance to our ally, Israel." [link to www.haaretz.com] Doesn't sound like he has a problem supporting Israel, but that the priority of a nation should be the financial support and stability of its own citizens - and he's right! Do I expect my neighbor to take money from their household to support my family while they allow THEIR house to suffer for it? Perhaps Egypt (as he said, the U.S. sends just about the same amount there annually as well)and Israel should send an annual billion-dollar support check to the U.S. and let's see how their economies hold up! Question is: why can't the governments of Egypt and Israel support themselves??? WHAT, exactly, is the problem? |

Quoting: duncan216Unless they are controlled opposition, a populist steam valve to vent populist pressure from effecting rational change in accordance with national health interest. Sound and fury, signifying nothing, or at least producing nothing of practical import. The Paul fam is steeped in Masonry. |
