Background: Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing that given to any other state. It has been the largest annual recipient of direct economic and military assistance since 1976, and is the largest recipient in total since World War Two, to the tune of well over $140 billion (in 2004 dollars). Israel receives about $3 billion in direct assistance each year, roughly one-fifth of the foreign aid budget, and worth about $500 a year for every Israeli. This largesse is especially striking since Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to that of South Korea or Spain.

Good News: Izzy copter down, at least one Hate Hebrew defunct!

Bad News:
(Guardian) “The House, displaying a foreign affairs solidarity lacking on issues like Iraq, voted overwhelmingly Thursday to support Israel in its confrontation with Hezbollah guerrillas. The resolution, which was passed on a 410-8 vote, also condemns enemies of the Jewish state.”

Meanwhile: Appeaser Coulter and disturbingly Rachel Dratchlike Dirty Debbie Schlussel are on Fox Blaming America First. American citizens — Americans — in Lebanon, you see, are insufficiently grateful for the honor of being bombed — by American bombers dropping American bombs (excellent point made by reader) — out of home and business. Fox polls its readers to show the refugee’d AMERICANS should be forced to pay for their own relocation. No mention made of the facts above – about Israel receiving $10 million a day, in part from these very same Americans being killed and bombed out of their beds! Fox ought to be renamed the Stockholm Channel. The identification with the captor is complete!
