And most of these countries hate us! Just think how far these funds would go in balancing the budget.

I would cut them all, except #2.

They are a priceless friend and for the research we have from the Iron Dome, we wouldn't have ever been able to develop and maintain an shield system like it is without their help.

If we are not willing to help those that are being persecuted then what do we stand for.

The others are just handouts to countries that don't like us..

Na... Double it... Liquidate the rest and invest in our military...

And this Ethiopia situation... It has been going on for years... There is nothing there but desert... Your crops will not grow... Others with far more fertile ground have chosen to leave their homeland... Today's world seems to be a sucker for refugees... Learn from them and travel West... Or accept your destiny to die hungry in the sand...

Yep... And what does the world see?

Russia stepping up to the plate and doing what needs to be done... A major military force battling ISIS... Most of the civilized world agrees someone has got to meet their force with force... We are not willing to... At least in a measure of scope that would yield results... Russia will enter itself as a pillar in the geopolitical landscape of the ME... I don't see them surrendering their foothold there, after investing their blood and treasure... Israeli and American interests are of no concern to Russia and the Persians... The forecast does not look good... It does not look good for anyone...

Just think what it was is nowadays, considering that list is 10-11 years old. I agree we should only protect Israel. At least they despise Muslims. But Israel has a little bit to much socialism for my liking. They actually have a lot of socialist type programs. Kinda like a Bernie sanders president would be.....little info to read for people who only watch tv.

I see what you are saying... You may think I'm foolish for believing in words written and re-interpreted from an old book... While my reasoning may be found in spiritual beliefs... many just consider it a strategic investment in the region... Politics take precedence over economics even though they are both intertwined... The anti-Islamic majority in the U.S. can view our aid as a commitment to one side of the growing global Holy War... Personally I think we should step up military aid in lue of monies... Our aid does allow them to invest more money in their military... How much money do you think is spent on their Iron dome missile defense? The cost of 1 Tamir missle to intercept the hundreds of rockets and mortars Hamas launches over their border... How about their wall?

What we give Israel is a drop in the bucket compared to the money we send to these other yahoos across the globe... I am more frustrated about sending money to these other chit bird nations... Cut those imbeciles off... Give more military aid to Israel... Take that very large, leftover chunk of change and ask Israel to teach us how to secure our border...
