Subsidies for Israel, Sanctions for Iran
Antiwar / Grant Smith
30-Jun-2009 (3 comments)

President Barack Obama’s fiscal year 2010 budget request for $2.775 billion in military aid to Israel is proceeding smoothly through the Congress. On June 17 the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs held a “markup” session on the budget. The subcommittee came under pressure from an antiwar group that sought to suspend or condition foreign aid over Israel’s use of U.S. weapons that left 3,000 Palestinians dead during the Bush administration. The subcommittee held its session in a tiny Capitol room, denying activists and members of the press access to determine whether there was any discussion on aid to Israel. The budget quickly passed and is now before the full House Appropriations committee.

  Delusional Shah Gholam,

Delusional Shah Gholam,

 

Israel is a friend of U.S, Iran is the enemy. Which stable brain would think that U.S should help its enemy and abandon its friend? Are you really that delusional?

 

If you want U.S help, tell your beloved Fascist IRI to shut its dirty mouth and stop perpetuating blind anti Americanism. If you don’t want its help and declare yourself as its “eternal enemy”, then expect the worst.

 

You know what, our country not being nuked since 1979 is not like IRI says “because of Imperialist’s fear of Iran”, and it’s because of U.S’ decency. If it was any other nation besides the U.S, Iran would’ve been turned into parking lot. U.S’ care for Iranian’s, who are friends of the U.S, lives, is one reason they haven’t attacked us.

 

Some people live in a different planet!

I agree with Shah Cheragh!

At least the Israeli officials respect their own Jewish Israeli citizenry, do not beat up on and murder them ...

They both deserve it.
