Subject: RE: BS: Israeli Jews/Israeli Arabs
I imagine if people put enough creativity into twisting my words, they can squeeze pretty much any kind of meaning out of them.

However, what I said before, and I will say again, is this...

We have no business sending billions of dollars to another country that doesn't need it while the needs of the people in this country are not being met.

This is money that US taxpayers earn with their (our) hard work. It is money that should be used for this country and for the benefit of the people in this country, and not given away as welfare payments to people who do not live in or pay taxes in this country, especially since they don't need it.

I don't think anyone whose hard earned tax money is not being given away to another country that doesn't need it, while people in their own country aren't getting their needs met, is in a position to tell those of us who are how we should feel about it.
