So today I am sitting at work, Brian comes in and goes and turns on Fox News as he usually does and they are carrying a live speech at the UN from Benjamin Netanyahu. He is at the podium, saying how bad the current treaty with Iran is, a deal brokered by the State Department along with many of our allies. Much of what he was saying were the same platitudes mouthed by many of the Republican hopefuls for President.
Israel has received from the United States, since its inception as a country, 124.3 billion dollars (not adjusted for inflation) of aid. If American citizens that do receive assistance from their government, they are called free loaders, told they need to get a job, to quit expecting handouts, mocked as welfare queens, have their purchases scrutinized. Given the amount of assistance that Israel receives, shouldn't they be treated the same way. Demand dug testing of all Israeli citizens before they receive any money, micromanage the assistance they do receive, no undo purchases that might make them appear uppity.
Instead of making Israel jump through the same hoops as our own citizens, we hand them money hand over fist so they can go bad mouth our best efforts at diplomacy at the United Nations. So why aren't' they be labeled as welfare queens? or free loaders? When they openly mock our best efforts at a peaceful resolution. Just saying is all.....
