Throughout the weeks since the P5+1 nuclear deal with Iran, Israel has been loudly campaigning against the deal, with Israeli Lobby groups like AIPAC putting tens of millions of dollars into a failed campaign to kill the pact.
At the same time, it’s been understood throughout that there would eventually be a multi-billion dollar payoff by the US government in the form of extra military aid to Israel, meant to get them to at least calm down a little about the pact.
Despite Israel continuing to rail about the deal, and despite the deal being safe in Congress without Israeli acquiescence, the US and Israel are said to be engaged in “low-profile” talks on terms of the “compensation” deal for them, with an eye toward getting the deal ready to announce by November’s state visit for Netanyahu.
Israeli officials have suggested these “unofficial” talks have been ongoing for a couple of weeks now, and all indications are that it will still be a multi-billion dollar package of weapons on top of the billions of dollars annually the US already gives Israel.
The timing of the talks was initially quite controversial in Israel, with the military wanting a deal quick, and fearing that if Israel waited too long the White House wouldn’t need them and wouldn’t pay up. Ultimately, it seems the White House didn’t need them, but is still paying up anyhow.
God how can this country do this ??????
I would not give them a ce t
I am sick of these freeloaders mooching off the USG taxpayers.
Nuttyahoo is an obnoxious unwanted house guest who eats all
your food in the fridge, runs up your telephone bill, and there
is no way to get rid of him.
there should be no "payoff". Israel gets far too much money already for a country of 8 million people.
Not one bit more of aid, financial,military, or diplomatic. In fact,we should impose the same sanctions on thug nazi Israel, as they spent millions bribing our government to put on Iran.
Average cash from US to Israel is just shy of 40K USD per person and this is on top of billions in military hardware and joint R&D of weapon systems on US Educational campus and defense industry facility, paid for by US taxpayers.
Lityle known entity calledvMidfle East Trade Zone consistingvof Israel and Egypt both getting evpnomic drvelopement funds under different programs thst lets an Israeli International Legal Services have same status as an Ambassador of a foreign nationThat firm is tied in with some of UD most distinguished International and politicly connected Financiers.
There are some 41 million working familys within US that yearly earn less than what US gives an Israeli.
In US today some people earning under 40 k are not able to afford even the rent in some major metros let alone ever think of owning a home as property tax is higher than income.
If you are Israeli with dual tags it is easy to be drawing from Israel accounts and your AIPAC insulated from pryi g eyes shadow banks.
It Is all right though because some day the fanatical christians within US will indeed have their capital in Jerusalem and not DC.
Not one more penny for that pissant country. Use the money for our poor and infrastructures.
There goes Obama kissing butt! and on tax payers money!! Oh, what suckers we be!!!
Here we go again! Can anyone even imagine that the U.S. Government having another 100M employees in Israel with an annual salary of $40M-$50M? That many underprivileged people could use this much money to save their family here in the USA!!
