CarolC and McGrath

The United States remains the largest single state donor to the Palestinian Authority. We have provided $562 million in total assistance in 2008, surpassing our pledged level of $555 million. This includes $264 million in project assistance through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL); $150 million in direct budget support - the largest single tranche for funds provided to the Palestinian Authority by a single donor country; and $148 million in contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

Perhaps you'd like that aid cut off too?

Additionally, the US provides monetary aid directly to
Egypt
Jordan
Lebanon
Syria

Perhaps you'd like to cut off that aid too?

And provides aid indirectly to Saudi Arabia and other nations through purchase of oil, rather than using our own resources to mitigate that need.

Perhaps you'd like to cut off that aid too?

We know how those countries and most Islamic countries, treat women citizens (they count, don't they?), and Christian citizens, but they hardly need to treat their Jews at all...there are few, if any.

McGrath, CarolC and all you others who want to fold Israel back into a greater Palestine/Israel state...ain't happening, no way, no how, except by the total annihilation of Israel. [I can see the glee] History has shown that when Jews live among Arab majorities, their rights are curtailed, and they're subject to periodic Pogroms. When Arabs control Jewish Holy Sites, Jews have no access to them. While a large chunk of Israel citizenry is Moslem, Palestine doesn't even allow a Jewish neighborhood anywhere. Gee, that sounds fair to me!

If there is allowed to exist teens of Islamic countries throughout the Middle East and Africa, surely there can be one Jewish country.
