    U.S. offers Israel $30-billion boost in military aid

    U.S. offers Israel $30-billion boost in military aid


    The United States offered Israel on Thursday an unprecedented $30-billion US military aid package, bolstering its closest Mideast ally.

    The aid deal represents a 25 per cent rise in U.S. military aid to Israel, from a current $2.4 billion US a year to $3 billion US a year over 10 years.

    Nicholas Burns, the U.S. undersecretary of state for political affairs, and Israeli Foreign Minister Director-General Aharon Abramovitz signed the memorandum of understanding on the assistance at a ceremony in Jerusalem.

    The package was meant in part to offset U.S. plans to offer Saudi Arabia advanced weapons and air systems that would greatly improve the Arab country's air force. Israel has said it has no opposition to the U.S. aid to Saudi Arabia, which comes as the United States strengthens moderate Arabs in facing the growing influence of Iran.
    Why don't they just give the $30-billion to Iran? That much cash buys a LOT of friends... and influences a shitload of peoples.

    Yeah. I remember it as though it were yesterday. (Good times.)

    And really, what difference does it make if we respond or not to this? It's not as though we have much say in the matter.

    Still, the IDEA of democracy lives on...
