    Not per capita.. we spend LESS on foreign aid than Saudi Arabia..

    Israel has been the recipient of the lion share of the US foreign aid budget since 1948.

    It might do you well if you took your own advice, regarding such Instruction as you advise

    First Off the City was NOT founded by the Jews as you allege. It was founded by
    the Amorites & the Hittites. It was founded and inhabited Xmillenium before it was
    conquered by the Hebrews, let alone acquired by either the Jews or the Palestinians

    The founding of City may be established with archaeological and Biblical references such
    as Ezekiel 16:3, 45, which says Jerusalem was originally founded by Amorites & Hittites
    .....................Scholarly Archaeology gives the date of its founding some 6000 yrs ago

    It did not become a part of the Hebrew Kingdom of Judea until King David made it his capital
    .................................................................................................3000 yrs ago

    :roflol:an outrageously Ridiculous assertion:roflol:
    And should I need remind you - Germany still belongs to Germans - :)
    A     People, Nation, or Country is NOT an Ideology -

    Nazism, Zionism, Capitalism, Communism are Ideologies
    Germany, Israel, United States, Russia are all Countries
    it's like trying to compare material things such as apples pigs & bicycles with abstract concepts
    such as love, hate or disgust - You can try - Its fun to watch but will not earn you points on any
    ......................................................................................................................Intellectual Scale
    Check your definitions - Move to improve Literacy at home and abroad :banana:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    You don't seem to be able to recall anything that counters your Ideology do you ?

    When you sign a Legal Agreement or Treaty, you supposedly surrender the Power
    to act in contradiction to that Agreement or Treaty. Israel signed the UN Charter
    and is thereby Legally CHARGED with upholding its tenets

    Israel is Signatory to the UN Charter and is there by bound by it - and is
    therefore Hypocritical, Rogue, & Criminal, when acting in contravention to it

    Well, despite UN resolution, US have already doubled the number of countries which are going to move their Embassies to Jerusalem.

    It's a beginning ...

    Anyway the maximum predictable number [in this context] is 8 [the 8 countries which voted against the UN resolution about Jerusalem].

    It's true the city existed before than Jews took over it. It was "Urusalem" and there was a servant king of the Egyptian Pharaoh [the so called "Amarna letters" give us a nice insight of the relations between Urusalem and Akehtaten.

    That dates in your post are curious ... David reigned on Jerusalem about 3,000 years ago. Its foundation is difficult to be put before of 4,000 years ago.

    I'm digesting Christmas dinner ... let's check the temporal references ... yes: David = about 3,000 years ago; foundation of Jerusalem not before of 4,000 years ago [at least considering documented sources].

    Should Israel disarm itself, how long would it take Arabs to overrun it, and would they give a hoot about international law?

    Think it through before stepping into it, my friend.

    I tried to simplify things so the crybabies lobbying for the Muslims could shut up.

    Were have you seen any Hittites? There were no Muslims when Jerusalem was founded.

    Seems you are more focused on me than on the facts.

    Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel.

    Surely if not, you will announce the city name you think you can impose on the Israels and why they can'r name their own capital city.

    Let's get Obama's view of Jerusalem.

    Archaeologists Find -
    Jerusalem Was Inhabited As Far Back As 7,000 Years Ago
    Discoveries in the city's north suggest the existence of a well-established settlement
    .........................................................................................dating to the fifth millennium BCE
    https://www.timesofisrael.com/jerus...r-back-as-7000-years-ago-archaeologists-find/

    4000, 7000 - matters not - let the Archaeologists argue the point - The point is the founding of the CITY predates its conquest by the Hebrews

    What is my kind? Aside from that, I did not try to mention Israel as a kind of anything.

    These are profoundly ridiculous questions.

    Nobody, and I mean nobody is asking Israel to disarm.

    Israel IS being asked to stop bulldozing homes that is not in Israel. After all, they are committing crimes against humanity.

    So, here's one for you:

    If England behaved toward its American colonies like Israel behaves toward Palestine, would we have revolted with violence?

    All put to good use, I’m sure.

    Palestinians? The peace tunnels they build with donated money are mysteriously caving in, and nobody knows why. What a waste of money...

    every dollar we give to Israel is one more Israeli shekel they can use for illegal settlements.
