Why Does Israel Get Billions in U.S. Aid?

The debate over U.S. “foreign aid” to Israel has taken yet another turn with the news that the Zionist Supremacist state (the Israeli one, not the occupied American one) is currently in negotiations to buy four missile boats from South Korea.

Why, it will now be asked, should American taxpayers have to pay billions of dollars to Israel when that nation can afford to spend the $400 million it is giving to South Korea for the attack missile craft?

According to a report in The Jewish Press, the deal is but one of many such military acquisitions by the Zionist state.

“Israel’s Ministry of Defense is in the advanced stages of negotiations for the acquisition of four missile boats from South Korea. This deal, one of several large scale defense deals being carried out between Israel and this Asian country, is expected to repair the damage caused to the cooperation between the two countries after Israel’s purchase of training planes a few months ago from Italy rather than from South Korea,” the Jewish news source reported.

“The deal was confirmed by a Korean source, while a source in the Israeli defense department told Maariv that several defense deals were being considered with South Korea, among them the acquisition of missile boats which would be built according to Israeli Navy specifications.

“Over the past few months, the Israeli Navy has been exploring the possibility of acquiring updated missile boats from manufacturers all over the world. In the course of deliberations regarding the multi-year plan for equipping the Navy, there were demands for escalating the process in light of the new mission of protecting the off-shore gas drilling facilities in the Mediterranean.

“Much tension existed between Israel and South Korea over the past few months. The Asian industrial giant was competing in a Defense Ministry tender for the purchase of 30 training planes by the Navy worth approximately one billion dollars.”

This then, is where your tax money is going. Surely the time has come to start a campaign on the topic?
