You're right, Amos. Citizens of both the U.S. and Britain provide help and support for impoverished countries in the Middle East and elsewhere but the governments of those countries have a long history of economic sanctions which impoverish the people. Who does Israel help?

Seems to me that Israel has been on the receiving end of alot of International support (especially arms). They would never even have their nation if it weren't for other nations that were driven by guilt. Maybe its time for them to start giving a little instead of constantly sucking everybody dry and destroying their neighbors. I'm glad Israel is not next door to me or I'd be watching my backyard constantly.

Israel is a desperate nation trying to survive at all cost. That cost is human life. Is life so cheap? Is that the lesson of the Holocaust?

I'd like to see Israel extend a helping hand to others (its about time) instead of constantly extending its hand for more and more and more. Quite frankly, I'm tired of supporting a nation that seems unable and unwilling to acknowlege that others might have needs of their own.

Self-centered, indulgent, paranoid, greedy and insular are the most common descriptions I have heard, lately.

Does giving to anybody outside the tribe even come to mind? No! Its all about increasing the strength and prosperity of their own.

Unfortunately, the Jewish Nation has sold its soul to the U.S. and Britain. I do not believe the Jewish people are so ruthless. Its because they are so dependent that they have to do the bidding of the U.S. and Britain. The Israeli government will only change when the Jews demand it. After this fiasco, I doubt if the present government will be re-elected. Lets hope they elect a compassionate and generous government for a change.

Enough said. Like many other, I have had enough of the 'poor' Israelis.
