The US, perhaps?

That depends on what kind of aid. Egypt and Afghanistan get more economic aid than Israel does (in FY 2005); Israel gets twice as much military aid as Egypt. There are various other aid programs too, which probably don't include Israel, but I don't know any of the numbers for those. Total aid to Israel in FY 05 is, I think, $2.6 billion out of $19.3 billion for all foreign assistance programs. That's a lot less than a third...

That's due to much of Israel's aid being buried in other appropriations.

Wow, I posted that about a week ago... so... I don't have the numbers in front of me anymore.

I don't think Israel gets any significant aid other than economic and military.

Africa gets more aid then Israel.

And no.. I didn't say AIDS.

African countries combined receive about $2 billion per year. Israel alone receives about $3 billion in direct aid and around $2 billion indirectly.

Not for long.

A White House spokesman, Scott McClellan argued: �You need to make sure the infrastructure is in place for those resources to be spent.� He also stressed that US spending would increase over the coming years to meet their $15bn commitment.

Sorry, I don't want to fight a proxy war for Israelis -- the USA gives enough hard-earned tax revenue to them to do that on their own.

Now, where's that damn barn -- the pigs need to feed at the trough.

WEll they all share resources...

The Jordan bomb that was diffused is said to have the capacity to kill from 20,000 to 80,000 people. That sounds like WMDs to me. They traced them back to Syria, and from there to a Perfume Factory in Iraq...

There are some of your WMDs!

Whether you did or you didn't, the fact invalidates your argument.

Nope but voodoo is inferring that Israel as a single country receives more aid then each individual country in Africa.

It doesn't really MATTER how big the piece of land is that we are giving the money too.

That's just a smokescreen.

Zimphire · Apr 28, 2004, 05:49 PM

Laugh all you want. Its the truth.

We give money to the people who we feel needs it at the time. Not how BiG the piece of land is.

We recently decided Africa needs MORE.

Not because it's a big peace of land though.

Funny though.. we are told to keep to ourselves in one breath, then chastised when we don't give enough money out.

Screwed if you do, Screwed if you don't.

Defused = good, diffused = bad.

Dunno, poor economic conditions, the rate of AIDs cases going through the roof, both seem to be in the same type of situation to me.

Heavier than any Iraqi WMDs.

Which WMDs were found apparently, on that same island where Jesus, Hitler, Elvis, John Lennon and a couple of others live on, in a mythical FBI witness protection program...

But HUSH!HUSH! You did not hear it from me....
