However last year Israel recieved 2550 million dollars in military aid form the US, compared to the 267 million dollars the US pledged to UNRWA, a difference of 2200 million dollars.<br /><br />It is certain Israel requires the aid she receives, in order to exist in such a hostile region. I am just finding it hard to understand why you feel the aid Palestine receives is somehow unjust.MonkZyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483809848361668847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-25233794583961714812010-06-17T18:43:29.697+01:002010-06-17T18:43:29.697+01:00MonkZY

It is certainly true that up until 1998 Israel received generous financial assistance from the US, but the level of this assistance in real terms has been dropping ever since. Moreover, unlike the US aid given to the Palestinians, most US aid to Israel is in the form of loan guarantees and military funding (where much of the latter has to be spent on US equipment). On all this aid the US gets a real return on its investment. In contrast US aid to the Palestinians has no strings attached other than the - ignored - requirement for 'accountability'. Your other point that seems to claim that all aid to Palestinians is 'charitable aid' coming from individuals is complete nonesense. You clearly did not read the article.Mark Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634542433903164227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-69320086112320011492010-06-17T11:56:33.312+01:002010-06-17T11:56:33.312+01:00To put a balance on aid, one must read this pdf do...To put a balance on aid, one must read this pdf document. It is a document from the Congressional research service, and outlines US Foreign Aid to Israel. The aid was mostly used to gain a 'Qualitative Military Edge' (QME) on Israels over neighboring militaries. <br /><br />http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pdf<br /><br />Israel, in order to secure its position as our middle east ally, has received billions in aid. For many years, the hardcore anti-semitic people have used this fact to point the finger at Israel.<br /><br />Why are you adopting this stance? It seems the pro-Israel supporters are using the same arguments as the ant-Israel people. It makes no sense. Quite odd. <br /><br />Also you are using spin : i quote 'most of which ultimately is paid for by taxpayers in the US and Western Europe', why use the term tax-payers when the money is not gained with taxation. The money you speak of is money given freely by individuals, not a tax. The article is about 'Charitable Aid'.MonkZyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13483809848361668847noreply@blogger.com
