The White House is reportedly planning to accept Israeli demands for increased military aid, following pressure by the US Senate to sign a new Memorandum of Understanding laying out US support to Israel for the next decade.

With the current Memorandum of Understanding set to expire in 2018, Israel has been pressuring the White House to enlarge the annual aid package from $3.1 billion to between $4-4.5 billion.

Israel has stated that it must increase its military spending to cope with growing threats from ISIS and the Iranian regime following last year’s nuclear deal. …

Largest aide package, from Obama, means a super sized box of Wheaties kicked out of a C130, with a bad parachute.

“The White House is reportedly planning to accept Israeli demands for increased military aid...”

Not until Obama, has an American president so often given into the demands of other nations. It makes the United States look weak on the international stage and that in the end hurts Israel, showing the world that Obama is the most anti-Israel president in U.S. history.

Thanks Olog-hai. This comes after seven years of blocking aid, including during times when Israel was under attack, and constant vicious criticism by Zero, Biden, and the rest of that criminal gang. IOW, this is just a fig leaf for the general election campaign -- Hillary: "this Democrat administration, of which I used to be a part, has given the largest aid package in history to our strongest ally, Israel." Only a ridiculous imbecile or hopeless partisan hack would fall for it.

I have no worry about aid to Israel, but what I wonder is why we give aid to the enemy who wants them wiped out. Saudis, Syrian jihadis, Palestinians, etc. At least Egypt signed a treaty and hasn’t fought Israel since the 70s.
But arming both sides of the conflict is just retarded, and expensive.

It’s only fair - after all, obama did aid Iran in developing the nukes it will eventually rain down on Israel.

The original policy remains in place, IOW, but the meme-building agitprop has been disseminated by the Partisan Media Shills.
