    House Passes Stealth Legislation for Israel - “H.R. 4133.”

    … The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) reportedly helped draft the bill …
    … The House bill basically provides Israel with a blank check drawn on the U.S. taxpayer to maintain its “qualitative military edge” over all of its neighbors combined. It requires the White House to prepare an annual report on how that superiority is being maintained. The resolution passed on May 9 by a vote of 411–2 on a “suspension of the rules,” which is intended for non-controversial legislation requiring little debate and a quick vote. …
    Ron Paul of Texas was the only one who spoke out against it, …
    the objective is to provide Israel with the resources to attack Iran, if it chooses to do so, while tying the U.S. and Israel so closely together that whatever Benjamin Netanyahu does, the U.S. “will always be there,” as our president has so aptly put it.

    But the scariest bit of the bill is its call for “an expanded role for Israel within the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), including an enhanced presence at NATO headquarters and exercises.” If Israel becomes part of NATO, which is clearly Congress’s intent, the U.S. and other members will be obligated to come to the aid of a nation that is expanding its borders and is currently engaged in hostilities with three of its neighbors. Israel has also initiated a series of regional wars. Whether NATO membership for Israel would benefit anyone is questionable, but it is something the neocons have been seeking for years, to turn Israel’s wars into a new crusade against the Muslim world. ...

    The U.S.-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 is now under review by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. …

    The bill was introduced by Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.

    In addition to extending U.S. government-backed loan guarantees to Israel through 2015, both bills urge expanded technology sharing and joint military exercises.

    Specifically, lawmakers call for the U.S. to:

    • Expand already-close intelligence cooperation, including satellite intelligence.

    • Provide through possible lend-lease arrangements new weaponry, including air refueling tankers, missile defense capabilities and “specialized munitions.”

    • Improve the process for Israel’s purchase of F-35 Joint Strike Fighters to allow for greater cost efficiencies and “on-time delivery.”

    • Expand joint military exercises to address emerging common threats.

    • Offer the Israel Air Force additional training opportunities in the U.S. to compensate for Israel’s limited air space.

    • Encourage an expanded role for Israel within NATO, “including enhanced presence at NATO headquarters and exercises.”

    • Make surplus defense gear and services available to Israel, particularly those resulting from the U.S. pullout from Iraq.

    • Strengthen efforts to prevent weapon smuggling into Gaza and threats infiltrating from the Sinai Peninsula.

    • Allocate additional weaponry and munitions and extend the time allocated for U.S. war reserves stockpiled in Israel.

    • Expand bilateral cooperation in homeland security, counterterrorism, maritime security, energy, cybersecurity and related areas.

    • Take action to integrate Israel into the U.S. defense network for the eastern Mediterranean.

    Finally, the bill passed by the House authorizes Israel’s expanded use of grant military aid to be applied more broadly for commercial rather than foreign military sales.

    The enhancements come in addition to more than $3 billion in annual U.S. grant military aid to Israel and a separate bill pending in both houses of Congress for another $680 million in multiyear funding for Israel’s Iron Dome rocket defense system. …

    Within 180 days of its enactment into law, the act directs U.S. President Barack Obama to report on specific steps his administration is taking to preserve Israel’s qualitative military edge.

    Not at my risk, and not at my dime. Let Israel handle their own business. If you want to help, send a donation, or enlist in their military.

    Well its about time...

    For 70 years now the USA has allowed the Arafat Agenda to grow and mutate such that, now, the initial infantile attempts at hijacking American planes in order to promote the long still-on going propaganda campaign of the PLO, morphingt into the more determined Hamas terrorism has stirred up the whole world against Israel.

    America has maybe become realistic enough to see that these people have been methodically making fools of our politicians while they have intentionally made peace ever more impossible.
    The result was Iran and Bin Laden.

    The Christian nations, and some Muslim nations as well, are true descendants of Abraham The Syrian.

    But, they have abdicated The Throne of God and given room to Ashkenaz and The Khazars to be called Israel, while they, the true tribes of Israel, lived in the wilderness of Christian and Islamic ignorance, apostasy and blasphemy, because they have accepted the lies and everything Jesus rejected and taught us to reject, and rejected The Truth and everything Jesus accepted and taught us to accept.

    And now in the same apostasy the US people are sacrificing their prosperity and security to provide an unlimited subsidy of money and arms to those who have joined with the Muslim Brotherhood to re-build the Caliphate, re-conquer Syria, and ultimately put Europe and America under Noahide/Muslim rule.

    I blame the Freemasons, who are the founders of the United States and direct descendants of the Knights Templar, appointed guardians of the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, both sacred artifacts of Israel. The Knights Templar escaped religious persecution from the Roman Catholic church in Europe for worshiping the Virgin Mary over Jesus Christ, an act of heresy, eventually became the Freemasons, and established the United States by creating the U.S. Constitution, of which the very first Amendment made into law the freedom of religion and the freedom from religious persecution. The most famous of all the Freemasons was America's first president, George Washington.

    .

    The enemy of Islam, Israel, as well as Israel's eternal ally, the United States, is an institution of power that goes back for centuries. One day, the upstart religion of Islam will be crushed under the boot heel of the West.

    LOL

    The bottom line is that the Energy Bank of the whole world is unprotected and wide open to power grabs that can and have taken only days to accomplish, as Saddam demonstrated in Kuwait.
    TRo push these theives back off the private property takes a year just to mobilize armed forces and is usually obstructed by nations unwilling to allow Staging Areas for military deplyment.

    Israel is the Staging Area of last resort, and also the front line attack force on the ready, prepared and capable be it necessary to execute the police acts in order to restore Law and Order in the Middle East.
    Iran is feared by all her neighbors who are well aware of just waht the overall agenda is, i.e.; control and monopoly of the Oil everywhere inthe Middle East.

    If America does not work with Israel, now, and defuse and defand Iran before the Chinese send "advisors" and military support, the politics and risks will abdicate any American interest in protecting the Saudis, Iraqis, and Kuwaiti whom we and Europe depend upon.




    Rev. 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon
    the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

    Oh well there goes the neighborhood. Now that Iran has the Drone, Israel's WW2-era defense strategy is obsolete. Who will suffer for this?

    It is Israel which has been cynically making fools of America, with Netanyahu himself publicly bragging how simple it is to manipulate America. Is that how you expect an 'ally' to behave-not to mention them selling military secrets to China and spying on you (Jonathan Pollard et al.). How much more stupid can your politicians get in continuing to kiss Israel's arse? Fruck Israel; let them stand on their own sorry feet for once, instead of routinely fleecing Americans of billions of their tax dollars every year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWpWc_suPWo

    Maybe we should incorporate your beliefs with healthcare, welfare and every other entitlement you libs believe in. If you believe people should get a hand out, donate to them. Help hem put a new roof on their house. Make sure they don't starve because the played through life instead of saved.

    You know. The way it used to be. Let's stop coddling people and instead empower them to to take responsibility for themselves.

    Cut the middle man [government] out of the equation. Money, aid and help will get to the right places quickly without paying off stooges who do nothing but siphon charity off for their own selfish reasons.

    Ah yes, the middle east. The one place where about 20 different ethnicities are all attempting to genocide each other. Looks like we chose to help the jews genocide everyone else. God I love my country. Suppressing the rights of foreigners since the 1960's.

    Firstly, I'm a libertarian, not a liberal, so I don't want any handouts. But if I had to choose, I'd choose handouts to our own people instead of getting involved in foreign affairs. Israel does not help us one bit, in fact, they do us more harm than good.
