The ever growing US commitment to throwing massive amounts of foreign aid at Israel is a special case, insists Rep. Eric Cantor (R – VA), and so much so that it shouldn’t even be considered “foreign aid,” which is handled by US State Department. Rather, Cantor wants to see Israel’s subsidy seperated entirely from the State Department, and turned over to the US military directly.
The “why” is somewhat convoluted, but centers around Rep. Cantor’s designs on forming a Republican opposition to foreign aid to a number of nations in the Middle East which “do not operate according to American interest.” This opposition might include voting against the entire foreign aid budget, but so many Congressmen are so in bed with pro-Israel factions that voting against their aid would be a non-starter, hence the need to make it a “special case.”
Which really irks Foreign Operations Subcommittee chairwoman Nita Lowey (D – NY), who insisted that to really, really support Israel officials need to keep the funding in the State Department, and keep the rest of the foreign aid bill sacrosanct as well.
Rep. Lowey warned Cantor that he has a “responsibility” to keep the foreign aid bill protected from Congressional opposition, and that US aid to other nations across the Mideast is vital to aiding Israel as well. The Foreign Aid bill is expected to be somewhere in the realm of $52.8-$54.2 billion next year.
Why not simply move Netanyahu into the White House?
Why not dismantle the White House and rebuild it in iSRAEL? That way If Netanyahu want to give some new order to our president he will be right on the spot.
Netanyahu certainly knows how to whistle.
Why not just move the WH to Israel? That way if Netanyahu has new orders for the president he can just whistle.
No! No! No! Let's just cut Israel's "foreign aid" in half.
Why not cut ALL foreign as well as military aid to Israel ? After all, they are declaring themselves a 'Jewish state'.
Do we fund the Vatican or ANY other religion ? Whatever happened to separation of church and state ? If it's good enough to prevent Christians in AmeriKa from openly expressing Christianity then it's good enough to prevent Jews in a Jewish state from receiving American aid of ANY kind !
ACLU needs to bring suit charging aid to Israel is a violation of the establishment clause.
we fund Islam and islamic goverenments all over the world
then withhold the other 1/2. The biggest employer is the person/organization who pays the 400,000 Illegal settlers. HOw does a nation live when its biggest product is illegal settlements?
Why not send Kantor to a kibutz? He and all the other Jewish representatives in the Congress look out for Israeli interests before American interests. When will Israel learn to stand on its own two feet?
Send Kantor to Afghanistan and make him walk point.
I think they do stand on theier own two feet it Kosovo and Palestinians that can't stand without aid .
Why should it when it can very profitably sponge off America like a leech? Wouldn't YOU take a cool 3 billion a year if someone was stupid enough to give it to you?
Cantor is just bat sh-t crazy. He is just a neo-con lunatic.
What do you do with a fool like that? Trillions wasted on his religious homeland and nobody is supposed to say anything about it. Aid to the Jewish state violates the 1st, 5th and the spirit of the 14th Amendments to the Constitution. It is illegal for American money to go to an entity that discriminates on the basis of race or religion. If Bob Jones University could not get Federal money then Israel should not either. The people who yell the loudest about separation of Church and state, the ADL, ACLU, and the Southern Poverty Law Center have no problem with all the money going to prop up Israel.
I would like to hear an opionion from Rachel Corey's parents.
This is what all the money to Israel pays for – http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2010/10/25/israel-c… .
It funds the zioNAZI racist HATE cult so they can pull more false flag operations on the US, such as they did on 9/11 and are getting set to do again real soon.
It also funds more American jobs to be shipped off shore with the Israel free trade agreement that Grant Smith talks about.
I'm not American, but surely this joker's continual shilling for the Israel must be seen as treason.
What do his constituents think of the fact that he cares more for the state of Israel than for the state of Virginia?
I've lived over in the US before, for several years, and know the deluded condition of public opinion there with regard to the Zionists.
How long can a stick bend before it snaps?
Can you possibly imagine an Arab-American Congressman having the gall to demand "foreign aid" from a bankrupt America to go to some rich Arab country like Bahrain and not having his sorry ass thrown out of Congress?
I can imagine one Arab congressman that the leader of the JDL was planning to blow up his offices.
Irv Rubin and his sidekick Earl Krugel. It seems that jewish terrorists don't do so well in prison. Rubin supposedly committed suicide and Krugel developed a concrete brain tumor while lifting weights in the prison yard.
These NeoCons/ Politians better be prepared to CHOOSE which country their allegiance is to.
This has gone on for way too long.
Time to surgically remove Israel from our hip. The Yearly welfare check days are coming to a close.
WE TAXPAYERS HAVE HAD 60 YEARS OF A"SPECIAL CASE"
NO PEACE = NO FOREIGN AID $ It's that simple Mr Cantor
That is my sole basis for voting any more. I try to find candidates who aren't Israeli first congressmen.
We will soon be losing an Israel 1st Senator in my state. I wish it was Nov 2nd today !
'Surgically remove from our hip' ? I wish, it looks more like we need to surgically remove them from our heads.
What are the demographics for Cantor's Congressional District? Do any Americans live there or are they all Israel-firsters?
Virginia is very close to Washington, DC .
Need I say more ?
It seems that the parasites gravitate to that area.
There must be a good reason Rep. Cantor wants a change to the military budget. (Citizen backlash!) I agree with him. Israel is actually a private run USA milittary base created to control the Middle East oil. One problem for Cantor, UN then can't consider AbortionIsrael as a country and receive protection from mommy America.
Actually it's the other way around. America is a privately run military base to fight all of the enemies that Israel creates.
The US could be invaded tomorrow and our military wouldn't even respond unless they first obtained permission from Tel Aviv.
Cantor's opposite in Israel demands as reported in antiwar.com

Ben-Ari asks UN to probe US for war crimes
By GIL HOFFMAN
10/25/2010 13:42
National Union MK calls for probe into WikiLeaks allegations against US military in Iraq; Netanyahu associate calls request damaging.
Talkbacks (50)
National Union MK Michael Ben-Ari wrote to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday to urge him to form a probe to investigate the actions of the American military in Iraq that the WikiLeaks web site alleged were war crimes.
Ben-Ari suggested that the probe be headed by Judge Richard Goldstone, who investigated Israel's handling of Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza
More evidence that the state department is no longer meaningful. All they do is blow through money building trophy embassies in London, the embassies themselves are useless mostly administering benefits programs for US retirees who seem to be mostly to be former military as they are the only ones that can retire early, and who have medical coverage abroad. A money saving idea, combine state and defense departments into the department of the exterior. It will be cheaper and I will get a little schadenfreude payback as all the Ivy Leaguers and George Town grads get canned in favor of mid rank military officers doing their final lap before retirement at 40 whatever.
The big problem with the State Department is the same as government at all levels. You can vote every single Israel firster candidate OUT of office but all the people they appointed to positions remain firmly implanted tainting our failed foreign policy ad infinitum.
How about we call it "indirect campaign financing"?
Or perhaps "Israeli pizzo" ?
Why NOT create a "Special" funding source for America's No. 1 Welfare Queen..?? Wouldn't G-d want it that way?? But WHAT G-d..?? I'm not sure that the Christian G-d would be very happy 2C the military have control over it., or anything else really.. The people that murder millions, torture children and commit mass murder to accomplish political ends should be kept in their cage under civilian control, except in case of grave national threats by other states military challenges…. Also putting the money source in the Pentagon would invite further spying mischief by Pollard type moles. Would we really want anymore Israeli' assets poking around there..trying to divert ever more U.S. Taxpayers money to their projects??? It sounds unconstitutional to me..
What does God have to do with the zioNAZI racist HATE cult ? ? ?
The vast majority of people in the zioNAZI racist HATE cult don't even believe in God OR the bible.
By their work and works you shall know them. Does that resemble even remotely the racist trash in Israel as well as the foaming at the mouth zioNAZI's ?
In Zechariah 2:3-5 it clearly states that the new Jerusalem will have NO WALLED CITIES. How does that square up with all that barbed wire and check points and the apartheid wall ?
Last time I checked Israel is not a state in the United States/ It is a foriegn country that steals the secrects of the US government and sells them to China/ It is foriegn country that sunk a US naval vessel and murdered its sailors/ It is a foriegn country whose military commandos murdered a US citizen traveling on an unarmed civilian ship in international waters/ Micky Cantor needs to resign his house seat, renouce his US citzenship, and become a citizen of Israel/ It is clear his primary loyalty is to the Likud Party, the settler movement, and Israel, and not the US constitution/
I can't figure out if Israel is the 51st state or if the USA is Israel's colony. The evidence mostly points to the latter.
Definitely the latter. When AIPAC says "Jump!", Congress (with a few exceptions) says, "How high, master?" Pat Buchanan nailed it when he referred to the District of Corruption as "Israeli-occupied territory."
Certainly the latter.
Funny how when the question is stimulus or unemployment aid, all we hear about is the 'deficit'. When the question is giving our tax dollars to people on the other side of the world, everyone in DC agrees that this is 'sacrosanct' and all we get is a beaurocratic infight over who gets to disperse the billions of our tax dollars.
We need a whole new congress. Don't vote for any incumbent.
ItzALie has the finest roads and infrastructure. Segregated, racist schools and an apartheid wall.
Now just imagine if here in the US we decided to build an apartheid wall to separate the various demographics because of the crime problem. Guess who would be in the front row screaming bloody murder ?
ALL American's could be homeless and starve to death but the checks to the stolen land wouldn't skip a beat.
Cantor sure knows who butters his bread. BTW congressman you are correct it should not be called foreign aid. It should be call extortion. They give you a few bucks and you then vote them billions. It would be illegal if you were not the people who write the laws.
We lost 4400 of our kids because of operation clean break which was the likuds whte paper calling for regime changes in all nations in the middle east except Israel. Regime change has proved to be a disaster and we were hood winked into the war by the likud. We should not give one cent to Israel. Israel should be allowed to be Israel and stop drawing us into useless wars to expand Israel.
It should be called THEFT and the people receiving this welfare check should be called parasites and thieves.
Look if we cut Israel's aid we might have another 9-11. We have to pay, we simply don't have the guts to face the mighty wrath of the dual citizens.
If we completely eliminated Israel's aid they couldn't afford to do another Israeli false flag attack on America !
http://sabbah.biz/mt/archives/2010/10/25/israel-c…
I thought it already did. Didn't they replace the 50 stars with the star of David ?
How can we taxpayers afford to shell out foreign aid when we need aid ourselves? Congress needs to be shaken down and every American should receive an annual fiscal report from Washington detailing where money has been spent, including an audit of the Fed. The lack of accountability must come to an end. Israel's agenda is not my agenda! Our representatives need to represent us, not foreign entities.
Even better yet, if people voted wisely and voted more tea party people in who are NOT aligned with the republicratic party we could get term limits. Also slash the pay of ALL federal employees starting with congress, the executive branch as well as the judicial branch.
Place ALL federal employees on social security and medicare. Eliminate the current retirement package for congress and the executive and judicial branches. That way congress would have a vested interested in fixing social security.
Make every single federal judge appointment an elected position instead rather than leaving it up to the boys club in DC to rubber stamp judicial activists who don't in any way resemble the demographics of America.
Some nice ideas there, but Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution clearly states that salaries for federal judges may not be reduced while they are in office. (See the Declaration of Independence for the reason.) Instead, impose a single 10-year term limit on all judges, with staggered terms for appellate and SCOTUS judges so no president can appoint more than two. Then make it possible for Congress or the state legislatures to nullify SCOTUS rulings that they deem anti-constitutional.
Of course, all of this is likely moot, as IMHO the US is at the edge of a Soviet-style collapse and breakup, which would be the best outcome possible.
Feingold and McCain were trying to stop their opponents from telling the truth about their records. They were surpresssing free speech and most of it was rightfully thrown out. In fact I helped finace one of the cases that gave McCain Feingold the boot. Feingold and McCain were and are both Israel firsters. I hope that we give Feingold the gate here in Wi. He is losing but millions are pouring in from the abortion, Israeli, lawyers, and every other leftwing lobby. The Other guy running Johnson is a firm libertarian. He has common sense and I expect him to see that the country needs change on foreign policy and actually mean it.
Hey, while we're at it Cantor, why don't we put Jonathan Pollard in the White House as our unelected president. Everybody in Israel now hates Obama anyway and that's good enough for me.
As far as Iraqi christians go they were considerabley better off under Saddam . Aziz the guy getting hung is a christian is he not .? what % of Iraqs christians are still left alive in Iraq ? did we only bomb christians in Iraq ?
Us fly over people no longer have enough in comman with the more liberal coastal people on many many issues . I would be much happier seperated . We would fit in better with the other western democracies . As a matter of fact we would still be 3 of the largest democracies . I think we would be better respected and maytbe loose our status as a big bully . I think we would be three times more likely to be effective in foreign affairs and much less likely to make foolish bad misstakes . which there are just to many of now . The communist Soviet Union covered 1/3 of the earth but it was just too big to manage properly I
believe the Soviet union people are much freeer and happier now . Russia the biggest country in the Soviet Union is much stronger than the Soviet Union ever was and much richer too .. Russia now has returned to her judo chistian roots and is building 30,000 christian churches a yr . The people are much more supportive of their goverenment .
So why don't we voters tell politicians unless we receive a personal letter from the Israeli embassy saying it's OK, we can't take their campaign phone calls? Seems only right– the Israelis already tell them what they can and can't do.
