As the Pentagon and US State Department continue to hype “sequestration” and its minor cuts as the end of the world, Israeli officials are seeing it as primarily about them, fretting the prospect of cuts to the long-standing billions they get annually in military aid.
A lot of Israeli weapons programs would potentially be on the chopping block if a cut came along, since many of the schemes get dropped by Israel’s own military as inefficiently expensive only for the US to re-fund them and see Israel’s political leadership rebrand them as “vital” parts of their arsenal.
Though the losses to Israel’s bottom line are likely to be minimal, if they happen at all. Even that has been hyped by Israel’s lobbyists in DC to the point of frenzy, which is sure to have many in Congress leaping into action to “save” Israel from losing programs their own military didn’t see as worth paying for.
In the end this is helpful for both US hawks and Israel’s own, as they can mutually scare-monger about the prospect of losing programs of little real utility and convince Congress to exempt them from the cuts. Whether this will work remains to be seen, but historically Congress has caved in pretty quickly faced with such lobbying.
Why should the US suffer cuts to domestic programs so Israel can have more military stuff? Let them fund their own military.
There will be economic collapse and mass starvation in America before the rogue parasitic terror state occupying Palestine will be denied their fancy new weapons, free money and other toys to continue being a cancer on humanity.
Imagine the food and care that could be spent on the American poor here, in America, instead of that rogue nation…if the American legislators actually cared about the poor in America, Think of the possibility of curing cancer if the millions of $$$ were spent here instead of buying weapons for the Israelis to use to kill innocent people. Think of the schools and roads and bridges that could be brought up to spec is the billions of $$$$ weren't shipped off to the Israelis – who really don't do much for us in return for our largess – and in many cases actually blatantly disrespect us.
Let's end the shipping of American taxpayer $$$$ overseas and spend that money here where we can see direct results instead of insults.
But I'm not betting that there is even a handful of American elected Representatives who have the courage to even bring it up.
America is broke. Our schools are drastically underfunded. Our infrastructure is crumbling. The wars go on. The pro israeli fifth column which is AIPAC, believes that Israel needs more billions for its jews only roads, jews only towns, jews only transportation systems, in its Jim Crow, apartheid, chosen people, society. Of course our bought and paid for congress agrees… Israel needs the money more than americans do. Enough is enough. Vote these whores out and end all aid to lebenstraum Israel and its open air concentration camps. Our people need the money here.
