Subject: RE: BS: Israeli Jews/Israeli Arabs
I would like the government if this country to stop giving my tax money to both Israel as well as Abbas. However, the amount it is giving to Abbas wouldn't do nearly as much good for people in need in the US as the amount it is giving to Israel, since the amount being given to Abbas is a small fraction of the amount it has been giving to Israel.

And the US is only giving that money to Abbas to help him help Israel fight Hamas. It's not being used to help the Palestinians.
