I suggest that the US pull its useless aid from Africa, Egypt, the PLO, and
Lebanon first.
They are bottomless pits of US financial woe never to be profitable in
either a humanitarian or financial case.
Wasted billions in the past and future on these Arab/Muslims..
At least from Israel they get help, a middle east pro USA democracy and a
return on lending funds. As well as trade, and high-tech advantages.

Why is it that the US has to support Israel? Right now there is a huge
deficit, economy is weak. Let people of
Israel also take care of themselves. I am sure they have great
negotiating skills with Arabs over there and
things will work out very well for them. Israel can show that it is a
great nation also and can give out more money
to developing world, to Africa to Arabs and maybe even the US.
I am sure Israeli people will understand if they get no aid, help.
They will be still be grateful for what they got in the past.
