Amazon: Do you know WHY Israel gets $3 billion in aid from the USA?
Because it is a condition of the peace treaty the United States brokered between Israel and Egypt back in 1979. President Jimmy Carter served as mediator. Under the conditions of the peace treaty, which the USA signed onto, Israel was to give back 94% of the lands conquered in 1967 to Egypt. Israel was to get $3 billion a year in aid from the USA AND Egypt gets $2 billion. ( The USA gives the Palestinians money too!)
Amazon? do you REALLY want the USA to unilaterally tear up the peace treaty it signed on the White House lawn? Do you have any concerns about how Egypt is spending their $2 billion??? Or is it ONLY Israel you choose to denigrate?
Hamas is not tossing rocks over the fence in Gaza in an attempt to break up any possible peace process. Those are Kassem rockets being fired with deadly purpose at civilian populations.
Those two Palestinians who were shot dead last week were carrying Kalishnokov rifles, not rocks.
I will leave aside your pejorative comment which calls 4.75 billion of the world's population "Wahoos" for belief in God (like YOU know!!).
Re: the Jews as the chosen people. According to Jewish teachings, God did not "choose" the Jews. The Jewish people "chose" to follow God's law, or the Torah. Hence, the chosen people.
Egypt gets $2 billion too!
