How Much Should Israel Cost Us ?????
How Much Should Israel Cost Us?
by Peter Lanzetta
March 1, 2003
Israel recently shook down our government for another fifteen billion dollars
in hand outs and loan guarantees above and beyond the usual 3 to 5 billion
they get from us every year. In recent years, we have been paying Egypt 2.5
billion per year to be "Israel's friend." We have been paying Israel billions
every year for over thirty years and there is apparently no future date when
the Israelis will announce that they no longer "need" this aid.
Why is it that every nation in Europe is able to pull its own weight
financially, but the residents of Israel "must have" at least three billion a
year from the United States? Don't the Jews endlessly brag amongst themselves
how intelligent their race is? If this is the case why can't Israel pull its
own weight?
Conservative estimates of the actual direct cash cost of Israel come to 90+
billion. The true financial cost of Israel is astronomically higher. Because
of U.S. support of Israel, we have alienated most of the oil rich states. For
decades Arab nations bought all of their military hardware from the Soviet
Union, while we GAVE the Israelis the best tanks and fighters in the world so
that Israel could win all its wars. America could have avoided several
painful recessions if we had been able to profit from arm sales to the oil
rich nations.
One estimate of the total cost of Israel by Dr. Thomas Stauffer comes to 2.5
trillion (Ref. 1) --almost half the entire national debt. Dr. Stauffer
reports "Policy in the Middle East has been very costly to the US, as well as
to the rest of world. The cost to the US of its policies in the region has
accumulated to over $ 2,500 billion, an amount greater than the cost of the
Vietnam war ...About two-thirds of those costs - circa $1,600 billion -arose
from the US defense of Israel since 1973... Rescue of Israel in 1973 by
President Nixon cost the US almost $900 billion in lost GDP, resulting from
the Arab oil embargo, and higher oil import costs...Worsening political
relations resulted in the loss of hundreds of thousands of US jobs."

There is also a moral cost to supporting Israel. By supporting Israel
regardless of their near infinite number of human rights abuses, their
legalization of torture and their Apartheid society, America shares the guilt
of Israel as a human rights abuser. Our politicians have gradually become
obedient slaves of Israel, willing to make war on Israel's enemies just to
please their war criminal prime minister, Ariel Sharon.
The pending war of aggression on Iraq does not even have the fig leaf
of "liberating Kuwait" as an excuse. We are making war on Iraq supposedly
because they are "making weapons of mass destruction" even though every other
sovereign nation on the planet has the right to build these weapons and even
though Israel has hundreds of H-bombs --far more than they need to defend
themselves and enough to pose a serious threat to Europe and America.
The "evidence" that Iraq still has weapons of mass destruction comes from the
CIA and Mossad. Strangely, these two agencies could not tell weapons
inspectors one location where they could find even one canister of poison gas
during two months of searching.
Most people in Europe have heard all this information unlike most Americans,
whose news comes from the mainstream Jewish-controlled media. The war on Iraq
will not be the end of a "crisis" but the beginning of a series of wars.
Ariel Sharon and the chairman of the U.S. Defense Advisory Board Richard
Perle (Ref. 2,3) have called for the U.S. to bully Iran, Syria and Libya into
disarming or removing from power their current leaders. (Notice that no one
in the Bush administration has called on Israel to remove a war criminal from
the position of prime minister.) The nations of Europe see the United States
behaving in an insane, bellicose, irrational manner taking orders directly
from Israel. The peace of the world and what little remaining stability
exists in the Middle East could soon be destroyed by an expensive war of
aggression, which will create more problems than it will solve.
