Yes and thank to the American tax payer subsidizing Israel budget they can afford to give free abortions to 20 to 34 year oldsHow many nuclear weapons does Israel possess? How about conventional military forces? What possible relationship does the size of a country bear on its ability to dominate its neighbors?"During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to 'implement a Memorandum of Understanding that provides $30 billion in assistance to Israel over the next decade -- investments to Israel's security that will not be tied to any other nation.'
"In August 2007, the Bush administration signed a 'memorandum of understanding' that outlined a 10-year framework for U.S. military assistance to Israel, according to the Congressional Research Service. It calls for incremental yearly increases in foreign military financing to Israel, with $3 billion allocated by fiscal year 2011.
"Funding under the memorandum "has been fully provided in the prior fiscal years and in 2012 appropriations,” said Jeremy Ben-Ami, executive director of J Street, a liberal group active on issued related to Israel.
"Specifically, Congress approved $3.075 billion in security assistance for Israel as part of a larger spending package for fiscal year 2012, according to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
"That marks the fourth consecutive year the memorandum"s terms have been met, AIPAC said.
"It's premature to say that the succeeding six years of the memorandum"s terms will be met. But so far, Obama has followed the lead of President George W. Bush and stuck to the terms of the funding agreement. As the 2012 elections approach, there"s no evidence that this is anything but a Promise Kept."

Thirty billion $ over ten years to advance the cause of ethnic cleansing in Palestine.
Hitler and all his useful idiots would celebrate:
Will Israel turn Gaza white in November 2016?
Hyperbole much? That money is what Israel, the tiniest territory in the ME, uses to protect itself against hostile nations that would like nothing more than to destroy it, and you must know that. You are so dishonest and a turd.

Please, they are a reasonable country that doesn't want to start a world war, obviously. They have shown incredible restraint. You obviously have a delusional hatred for Israel.
Israel, a nation with a forceful religious lobby and a conservative prime minister, is poised to offer its female citizens some of the most liberal abortion coverage in the world.

The nation’s Health Ministry commission, led by Dr. Yonatan Halevy, last week announced its state-subsidized “health basket,” the package of medications and services that all Israeli citizens are entitled to under the nation’s health care system. It was approved by the cabinet on Sunday. The health basket is analyzed and amended on an annual basis, and among the many additional treatments to be offered to Israelis in 2014 are free-of-charge abortions for women ages 20-33.
Israel has always had a liberal stance on abortion, allowing women facing medical emergencies or those who are victims of rape or abuse to receive subsidies to help them terminate their pregnancies. Outside of those regulations, women can apply for abortions for reasons ranging from an emotional or mental threat caused by the pregnancy or for not being married to the baby’s father. All women who seek to end a pregnancy must appear before a three-member committee to state their case, but 98 percent of requests are approved. Women under the age of 20 or over the age of 40 were also previously eligible for subsidized abortions, regardless of the reason.
With the newly amended health care package, however, funding will now be available for more than 6,000 additional women seeking to terminate their pregnancies, at the cost at some NIS 16 million ($4.6 million). No medical reason for the abortion is required.
Halevy, director general of Shaare Tzedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, rejects the idea that the health commission’s move is in any way radical, and is quick to point out that the boost in abortion funding is but one small piece of several alterations to Israel’s state-sponsored health care, ranging from mental health care to the treatment of diabetes and beyond.
“We want large families in Israel. We definitely encourage birth,” he says. “But when pregnancy occurs and it is undesired or inadvertent, I think we should supply the means to end the pregnancy properly.”
