THIS PROVES THAT THE ENTIRE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS PRO-ARAB AND ANTI-ISRAEL.
He also wrote "ISRAELIS HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT TO BUILD IN JERUSALEM AS AMERICANS DO IN DALLAS OR CHICAGO OR DC OR NYC." and in comments, I replied "Not on our (U.S.) dime."
That wasn't appreciated (click on for larger image):

YOU CONVENIENTLY LEFT OUT THESE - YOU FUCKING ANTISEMITIC SCUMBAG:
Since 1974, Israel has received nearly $100 billion in assistance, including three special aid packages. The first followed the signing of the Israel-Egypt peace treaty and Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai. The redeployment of Israeli forces and rebuilding of air bases in the Negev cost $5 billion. To partially compensate for this sacrifice, Israel received $3 billion ($2.2 billion of which was in the form of high-interest loans) in U.S. aid in 1979.
The second special package was approved in 1985, following a severe economic crisis in Israel, which sent inflation rates soaring as high as 445 percent. The $1.5 billion in emergency assistance-disbursed in two installments, in 1985 and 1986-was provided as part of Israel's economic stabilization program, which was implemented under the guidance of the U.S.-Israel Joint Economic Development Group (JEDG).
An extraordinary package was approved in 1996 to help Israel fight terrorism. Israel is to receive a total of $100 million, divided equally between fiscal years 1996 and 1997.

Altogether, since 1949, Israel has received more than $106 billion in assistance. This includes the four special allocations, the $10 billion in loan guarantees (spread over five years) approved in 1992, the $9 billion in guarantees offered in 2003, and a variety of other smaller assistance-related accounts, such as refugee resettlement (nearly $1.6 billion overall since 1973), the American Schools and Hospitals Abroad Program (ASHA), which supports schools, libraries and medical centers that demonstrate American ideas and practices (($144 million), and cooperative development programs (a total of $186 million since 1981).
The total does not include funds for joint military projects like the Arrow missile (for which Israel has received more than $1 billion in grants since 1986), which are provided through the Defense budget. President Bush requested $60 million for the Arrow for FY2003 and $136 million in FY2004. The United States also has provided $53 million for the Boost Phase Intercept program and $139 million for the Tactical High Energy Laser program under development in Israel to complement the Arrow.

AND THIS:
U.S. economic grants to Israel ended in 1959. U.S. aid to Israel from then until 1985 consisted largely of loans, which Israel repaid, and surplus commodities, which Israel bought. Israel began buying arms from the United States in 1962, but did not receive any grant military assistance until after the 1973 Yom Kippur War. As a result, Israel had to go deeply into debt to finance its economic development and arms procurement. The decision to convert military aid to grants that year was based on the prevailing view in Congress that without a strong Israel, war in the Middle East was more likely, and that the U.S. would face higher direct expenditures in such an eventuality.
Israel has received more direct aid from the United States since World War II than any other country, but the amounts for the first half of this period were relatively small. Between 1949 and 1973, the U.S. provided Israel with an average of about $122 million a year, a total of $3.1 billion (and actually more than $1 billion of that was loans for military equipment in 1971-73) . Prior to 1971, Israel received a total of only $277 million in military aid, all in the form of loans as credit sales. The bulk of the economic aid was also lent to Israel. By comparison, the Arab states received nearly three times as much aid before 1971, $4.4 billion, or $170 million per year. Moreover, unlike Israel, which receives nearly all its aid from the United States, Arab nations have gotten assistance from Asia, Eastern Europe, the Soviet Union and the European Community. Congress first designated a specific amount of aid for Israel (an "earmark") in 1971.

Those comments weren't there when I posted. Look at the time stamp.

That was not my claim but since money is fungible, perhaps that is a possibility.
This Zionist Jew banned me quicker than AJ Strata long ago. He was chortling circa 2005 that Assad's regime was imminently doomed, part of a succesful Bush Mideast policy which was also bringing Lebanon back to US orbit.
Unreliable- Syria stronger than ever and on good terms with an increasingly Israel-critical Turkey as well as a strengthened Iran. Hezbollah and Lebanon still un-Cedared. And Iraq's new government no friends of Israel. Chalabi really played your friends.
I can understand your short fuse.
And that anti-semite ephitet doesn't have the force it once had, so keep embellishing it with
obscenity.

Scheuer, who is too much of a hawk for me, neverthless has it right about the wasted aid to Israel.
