“The United States is offering Israel $3.5 billion to $3.7 billion a year in military assistance over a decade, a major increase from current levels....”
Obama is making major increases in aid to Israel??? Wow!
anything O can do to weaken our allies, he will do
always has, always will
(but Jerusalem knows it has a friend in America, once O can be deported back to his Krapistan...)
Trump voters to Obama: STFU.
Obama: Exporting Jobs from Israel.
this is a bad deal for Israel. American money comes with more than strings, it comes with hamstrings. It is long past time for Israel to cut the ties that bind.
If I were Israel, I’d be looking for a firm defense alliance with India, South Korea, Taiwan and Japan. Together they can form a joint development group and market for each other’s tech. Israel has the most advanced drones on the planet. They are also the largest manufacturer of drones. That market alone could earn them back more than the lost income from Uncle Sugar.
I was directly involved on both sides of manufacturing for foreign military sales and as a former employee of Israel’s, at the time, largest defense contractor. They took US stuff and improved it.
dont mess with your friends..let Israel grow at will.
Because we have no more tax dollars after sending them all to Iran.
Patriots, although I support the idea of Congress supporting Israel in principle, note that Justice Joseph Story had indicated that the Founding States never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to provide foreign aid to anybody.
If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added]. Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833) .
Next, regardless that the referenced article is vilifying Obama with respect to Israel, note that the Founding States gave the federal power of the purse uniquely to the House of Representatives as evidenced by the Constitutions Clause 1 of Section 7 of Article I. So even if the states had expressly constitutional delegated to the feds the specific power to support foreign nations like Israel, it remains that the decision to support or not support Israel is ultimately up to Congress imo, not the POTUS.
In other words, last-term, lawless Obama is arguably allowing corrupt Congress to use him as its useful idiot by doing Congresss dirty work for it. And by letting Obama do its dirty work concerning Israel for it, corrupt lawmakers are able to keep their voting records clean so that they can fool low-information patriots into reelecting them imo.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trumps vision for making America great again for everybody, but will either put a stop to unconstitutional federal spending, or petition the states for the constitutional authority to justify such spending.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
THE BOTTOM LINE . . .YOU DON’T MESS WITH ISRAEL. . .GOD’S CHOSEN NATION/PEOPLE. WOE TO OUR NATION FOR ANY ILL-ADVISED DECISIONS REGARDING ISRAEL. AMERICA WILL ULTIMATELY SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES.
Hey Barry, guess who that person is standing way off in the background?
I’m just happy to learn were not as bankrupt as the negative Nellie’s say we are. Spend, spend, spend!
Nope. Our tax dollars go to Iran.
Interesting how 0bama doesn’t fret about our tax dollars going to Iran or Hezbollah (via Iran) or Hamas.
Just Israel.
