81% of Americans Oppose Aid to Israel http://newobserveronline.com/81-americans-oppose-aid-israel/ EXCERPT Some 80.8 percent of Americans oppose the $38 billion in aid that the Jewish lobby-controlled U.S. Government last week pledged to Israel, an IRmep poll fielded by Google Consumer Surveys has found. At the same time, the Jewish lobby will pour money into campaign funds of politicians who support this aid package, while the controlled media will demonize any candidate for office who dares to oppose it. The poll found that the vast majority of Americans want the $38 billion aid pledge to be redirected toward other priorities, such as caring for vets, education, and lowering national debt. The IRmep poll has however found that 80.8 percent of the U.S. adult internet user population says they would redirect the proposed spending toward other priorities. Caring for veterans (20.7 percent) was their top priority, followed by education spending (20.1 percent), and paying down the national debt (19.3 percent). Rebuilding U.S. infrastructure was favored by 14.9 percent, while funding a Middle East peace plan received 5.8 percent of support. Only 16.8 percent said the $38 billion of pledged foreign aid should be spent on Israel. CONTINUED _ _ _ _ _ I'm curious to know what Readers of this Forum would like to see done with the $38 Billion in American money currently destined to be spent on more arms for Israel. 1. Rebuild/Humanitarian Aid to Gaza 2. Aid to US Vets. 3. Rebuild US Infrastructure 4. More Arms for Israel
sad, 38B confiscated by the government to be given to someone else without your permission. Wonder what law or constitutional power allows this? - - - Updated - - - all foreign aide should be individuals giving to foreign charities. US has no business getting involved with giving money away.
Foreign Aid should benefit the American People. If it does not, that the amounts of money appropriated by the Federal Government from the American People should be returned to the American People. But to point at the mess that is the Federal Leviathan that misappropriates the wealth of the American People and squanders it on whatever breezy notion wafts into the minds of the Leviathan, and suddenly become overwhelmed with concern over aid to Israel? What other federal misspending similarly concerns you?
Apparently you're not aware of the sentiments of LOYAL, working Americans who have served their country in many ways and wish to continue serving it against its REAL Greatest Threat.

hahaha!!! the poll doesn't say what you claim it says. let me know when there is a poll that simply asks "Do you support the $38 billion 10 year aid package to Israel?" then we can talk
BLOOD & MONEY It's not just "federal misspending" that comprises the many costs of Israel to Americans Unless you've spent time as a patient or worked at any of America's V.A. hospitals, you don't know the REAL cost of America's unholy alliance with Israel & its parasitic Zionist Regimes: Can you name another country whose lobbies are influential enough to drive America to War? “QUIETLY LOBBYING CONGRESS TO APPROVE THE USE OF FORCE IN IRAQ WAS ONE OF AIPAC’S SUCCESSES OVER THE PAST YEAR.” AIPAC Executive Director Howard Kohr; N.Y.

Until you've done the same, you'll never know that this issue is far greater than the "federal misspending".

Actually most of it comes in the form of loan guarantees that as long as Israel pays the debt, which they almost always do, costs the US nothing....
The topic being discussed are the things that do cost us something, or at least that is my interpretation of it.
Check again. almost all US aid to Israel is in the form of Loan guarantees and funding for joint military project like Iron Dome and active defenses against RPG's and assorted other such projects and while we do actually spend money on this it can be argued that it would cost us more to do these projects on our own that is actually a net savings. By the way 3.8 billion a year is chump change. The current US budget is a 1000 times that. By the way most American are against any sort of foreign aid not just that to Israel. Then again most American think we spend far more on foreign aid than we do.
A lot of our aid comes as corporate subsidies to domestic businesses. It is how we dump food on the developing world as aid---it is all about subsidizing agribusiness. Aid to Israel and others s about subsidizing the military-industrial complex. There is always self-dealing in US aid packages. It is just a matter of whose self it is.
Loan guarantees? I think that has stopped.. Under the Cranston Act loans to Israel were automatically coupled with grants to cover the principle and interest on those loans.
DOUBLE STANDARDS: Twitter under fire after it was slow to react to Jewish Labour activist being subjected to anti-Semitic abuse. “A Jewish Labour activist has been told that abuse calling for her to be deported to Auschwitz does not violate Twitter rules.” http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...cked-racism-sexism-social-media-a7340851.html
I'm loling at "Loan guarantees" as it must now be in the hundreds of billions of unpaid loans just wiped off the books. Chump change my butt as are college students become debt slaves right out of high school. Think if we used that money for our children who are living on the streets, eating out of dumpsters and selling their bodies just to eat.
I think that any awakening can be attributed largely to Independent Media and the fact that there are many loyal American Jews who are sick of the Zionist machinations in Washington DC “Opposition to Israeli policies growing among Jews in USA” https://redflag.org.au/article/opposition-israeli-policies-growing-among-jews-usa EXCERPT “ For most of its existence since 1948, Israel has had the support of most Jews in the US. That is beginning to change, on different levels. This is important because US imperialism’s military and economic support for Israel is key to the maintenance of the Jewish-supremacist state. As more US Jews speak out to one degree or another in opposition to Israeli policies, they can have an impact. The emergence and growth of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) is an important indicator. “We represent a growing portion of Jewish Americans. Israel claims to be acting in the name of the Jewish people, so we are compelled to make sure the world knows that many Jews are opposed to their actions. There are often attempts to silence critics of Israel by conflating legitimate criticism with anti-Semitism. Israel is a state, not a person. Everyone has the right to criticise unjust actions of a state.”CONTINUED Currently, the most vehement "Jew Haters" are the Right Wing Extremist, Israeli Zionists who hateAmerican Jews who are not totally supportive of the Genocidal Israeli Zionist agenda. Many thanks
no, the worst Jew-haters these days, are on the Left. I say this as a Democrat and a Liberal. its very sad how soo many on the left use anti-Zionism as a mask, for their hatred of Jews
Cranston doesn't cover everything, and the grants still have to be passed separately. And if memory serves it applies to a lot of countries other than Israel as well. It also, as was previously pointed out keeps a lot, of US workers employed. Why some people think US workers having jobs is an unalloyed evil I don't know.
Isn't it just a tiny bit possible that people who object to Genocidal, Right-Wing Zionists simply object to Genocidal, Right-Wing Zionists or does everyone mask their true sentiments but you? “Far-Right extremism on the rise in Israel as Gaza conflict continues” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...ise-in-Israel-as-Gaza-conflict-continues.html MEANWHILE: “U.S. Support for Israel Is Decreasing, New Poll Shows” http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/u-s-support-for-israel-is-decreasing-new-poll-shows-1.308855 “Jewish and other groups rally against AIPAC” http://www.demotix.com/photo/1847083/jewish-and-other-groups-rally-against-aipac “Israeli Artists Condemn Settlements” https://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/cam...-artists-who-say-no-normalizing-settlements-4 “Netanyahu a 'Danger' to Israel, Say 200 Israeli Veterans” http://readersupportednews.org/news...u-a-danger-to-israel-say-200-israeli-veterans
9 out of 10 rabid anti-Zionists are also Jew-haters. some try to mask their hatred of Jews, but claiming they simply hate Israeli crimes. but they then go on about the NWO, Jewish bankers, Jewish pedophiles, 9-11, Hollywood, the Talmud, all (*)(*)(*)(*) that has nothing to do with Israeli crimes against Arabs. they think they are clever, but they are not.
