The Cost of Israel

[Marc39]

Why is the Jewish State of Israeli Apartheid the only recipient of US tax dollars that's allowed to skim 25% for its domestic arms industry?

God's chosen people?

Or simple corruption?

By February 2009, the US had already given Israel at least $2.55 billion in military aid for FY 2009.

How much military aid went to Lebanon in FY 2009?

Clueless George, the US has given Lebanon hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid.
That would be the same Lebanon that provides a safe haven to your jihadist cohorts Hizballah that slaughtered 300 US Marines in Beirut.

Israel is a US ally that saves American lives.

You're a clown

 

[P F Tinmore]

Since the October War in 1973, Washington has provided Israel with a level of support dwarfing the amounts provided to any other state.

"It has been the largest annual recipient of direct U.S. economic and military assistance since 1976 and the largest total recipient since World War ll.

"Total direct U.S. aid to Israel amounts to well over $140 billion in 2003 dollars.

"Israel receives about $3 billion in direct foreign assistance each year, which is roughly one-fifth of America's entire foreign aid budget. In per capita terms, the United States gives each Israeli a direct subsidy worth about $500 per year.

"This largesse is especially striking when one realizes that Israel is now a wealthy industrial state with a per capita income roughly equal to South Korea or Spain.”

50 Prominent American Military Leaders Sent Barack Obama Supporting Israel As An Important US Ally...

Israel as a Security Asset for the United States

We, the undersigned, have traveled to Israel over the years with The Jewish
Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). We brought with us our
decades of military experience and, following unrestricted access to
Israel's civilian and military leaders, came away with the unswerving belief
that the security of the State of Israel is a matter of great importance to
the United States and its policy in the Middle East and Eastern
Mediterranean. A strong, secure Israel is an asset upon which American
military planners and political leaders can rely. Israel is a democracy - a
rare and precious commodity in the region - and Israel shares our commitment
to freedom, personal liberty and rule of law.

Throughout our travels and our talks, the determination of Israelis to
protect their country and to pursue a fair and workable peace with their
neighbors was clearly articulated. Thus we view the current tension between
the United States and Israel with dismay and grave concern that political
differences may be allowed to outweigh our larger mutual interests.

As American defense professionals, we view events in the Middle East through
the prism of American security interests.

The United States and Israel established security cooperation during the
Cold War, and today the two countries face the common threat of terrorism by
those who fear freedom and liberty. Historically close cooperation between
the United States. and Israel at all levels including the IDF, military
research and development, shared intelligence and bilateral military
training exercises enhances the security of both countries. American police
and law enforcement officials have reaped the benefit of close cooperation
with Israeli professionals in the areas of domestic counter-terrorism
practices and first response to terrorist attacks.

Israel and the United States are drawn together by shared values and shared
threats to our well-being.

The proliferation of weapons and nuclear technology across the Middle East
and Asia, and the ballistic missile technology to deliver systems across
wide areas require cooperation in intelligence, technology and security
policy. Terrorism, as well as the origins of financing, training and
executing terrorist acts, need to be addressed multilaterally when possible.
The dissemination of hatred and support of terrorism by violent extremists
in the name of Islam, whether state or non-state actors, must be addressed
as a threat to global peace.

In the Middle East, a volatile region so vital to U.S. interests, it would
be foolish to disengage - or denigrate - an ally such as Israel.

This Palestine, dummy?...

The Palestine entity, formally established and defined by Britain, was formaly abolished in 1948 with the termination of the Mandate.

[P F Tinmore]

The Allies had already noted the historical connection in the Treaty of Sèvres, but they had recognised no legal claim. They felt that whatever might be done for the Jewish people was based entirely on sentimental grounds. Further, they felt that all that was necessary was to make room for Zionists in Palestine, not that they should turn 'it', that is the whole country, into their home.

How did this create the state of Israel?

 

[Marc39]

Not so. Quote the part that says it did.

Already did. Maybe, try Berlitz for English.

Israel was not mentioned in any of your League of Nations quotes.

The League of Nations existed before Israeli statehood, dumb dumb.

The repeated reference to "Jewish National Home" was synonymous to Jewish state.

All the key players at the time of the British Mandate, from Churchill to PM David Lloyd George to Balfour to Woodrow Wilson, all agreed that they intended for there to be an Israeli state.

The League of Nation would not, and did not, create an exclusive Jewish state.

 

[Marc39]

The League of Nation would not, and did not, create an exclusive Jewish state.

You're severely out of your league..

The Palestine Mandate specifically precludes the formation of competing governments in Palestine to a Jewish government.

The Mandatory shall be responsible for seeing that no Palestine territory shall be ceded or leased to, or in any way placed under the control of the Government of any foreign Power.

The Palestine Mandate ONLY establishes a Jewish polity in Palestine...

Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country

The Mandatory shall be responsible for placing the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as will secure the establishment of the Jewish national home, as laid down in the preamble, and the development of self-governing institutions

An appropriate Jewish agency shall be recognised as a public body for the purpose of advising and co-operating with the Administration of Palestine in such economic, social and other matters as may affect the establishment of the Jewish national home and the interests of the Jewish population in Palestine, and, subject always to the control of the Administration to assist and take part in the development of the country.

The Zionist organization, so long as its organization and constitution are in the opinion of the Mandatory appropriate, shall be recognised as such agency. It shall take steps in consultation with His Britannic Majesty's Government to secure the co-operation of all Jews who are willing to assist in the establishment of the Jewish national home.

The Administration of Palestine, while ensuring that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced, shall facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and shall encourage, in co-operation with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public purposes.

The Administration of Palestine shall be responsible for enacting a nationality law. There shall be included in this law provisions framed so as to facilitate the acquisition of Palestinian citizenship by Jews who take up their permanent residence in Palestine.

Now, you know, dummy.

 

[Marc39]

The League of Nation would not, and did not, create an exclusive Jewish state.

The League of Nations created Arab states in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan.

So, too, did the League create a Jewish state.

Your history lesson for the day.
