No nation, including Israel, needs our foreign aid
Of course, the main obstacle towards getting all of foreign aid is Israel. We give them 3 billion a year.
However, if you look at their budget they can more than cover the loss: http://www.financeisrael.mof.gov.il/...l2011-2012.pdf
*NIS is in thousands
*Currency trading: 1 Israeli new sheqel = 0.2570 US dollars
How about they give us 3 billion a year? Afterall, we're "friends".

Israel does need our aid.
If we, however, were to stop giving a combined total of even more to Israel's enemies, they would no longer need it.
Are they mimicking their contributors, who hedge their bets by brib--er, I mean giving campaign contributions to both sides in an election? Or are they simply following orders to break the treasury?

Whether they need it or not the truth is we can't afford it.
Ron Paul: "For those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do."
Well, thank God we get some of it back. In fact, if it weren't for paid commercial programs straight from Israel, one wonders if any of our evangelist television stations would be able to survive. Some of them spend half their broadcast day running Israeli infomercials.
Yep. People do not understand that. How can we help Israel or any allies if we are poor? Let's borrow money from China so we can defend and give money to Israel to fight Iran who are allies of China... lawl.
Country to country level welfare handouts are the same as individual level welfare payments: they corrupt the recipient, and rob the victims who are forced to pay it. Injustice at its best. The worst aspect of welfare is that the recipient must join with the state in fighting against its discontinuance.
Whether they need it or not ignores the main point: its immoral at it's root.
