Who is running the “show now”?
September 4, 2008 at 11:03 pm #192363dockersMemberBrad said: “While the US sends a minimum of about $6.8 million per day to Israel, it sends 0.3 million per day to the Palestinians – Do you notice any difference between those two numbers?”
Prove it. Write all the numbers want, but until you send fact, I won’t believe a word or a number. Please talk like this at the bar where someone can take you outside and kick your butt.
September 4, 2008 at 11:08 pm #192364*LotusMemberMy question BB is why do we go along with this when we are obvious bed fellows with these Zionist bankers. The WASP white elite must have something to gain or they would just crush it. Rothschild has a big mouth but the crown could have taken him and his whole family out in a blink of an eye. They produce nothing just control the eb and tide of currency which easily could be seized. I went through a period of great fascination regarding these Zionist banking conspiracy theories and how the Illuminati were controlling world governments. I think you give to much credit to these Jewish bankers what about the clans of blue bloods that have ruled Europe for a 1000 years and the Astor’s, Morgans, Jones’,Vanderbilt’s to name a few that ruled the US?

P.S. Lighten up people. You are in Costa Rica. Enjoy life. Pura Vida.
September 5, 2008 at 6:51 pm #192366dognlapMemberThe bedfellows with the Zionists are the Evangelical Christians, who constitute a fairly large minority of the U.S. population. They believe that the Second Coming cannot happen unless the Israelis return to their biblical homelands now largely occupied by Palestinians. Hence, they are happy that the Israelis keep expanding their settlements and stealing Palestinian land in violation of international law. So because of the strong Zionist/Evangelical lobbies, most American politicians only give lip service to Palestinian rights and support a strong Israeli government even as it continues its apartheid activities designed to subjugate the Palestinians. This American bias in turn pisses off the Arabs and others, and gives extreme radicals support from the general populations.

September 8, 2008 at 3:25 pm #192368AndrewKeymasterThese numbers are very easy to find online Dockers and will clearly show that the amount of US aid that goes to Israel dwarfs the amount of money that goes to the Palestinians but I will let BradBard show us his source…
I am guessing wildly here Dockers but it appears to me that if BradBard does show you conclusive data that proves his case, that you would still feel it would be more satisfactory to try and kick his butt – Please do explain how that makes any sense?
September 8, 2008 at 4:13 pm #192369AndrewKeymasterI met with a Costa Rica attorney early this morning to do a video interview, he has been following the postings of Dockers in our Discussion Forum which he eloquently described it as ‘diarrea verbal.’
Another VIP Member emailed me this morning saying: “I had to really bite my tongue on the forum reading “Dockers” crap and you showed great restraint letting him do it.”
And based on the statements of other VIP Members this is formal warning to Dockers to radically adjust your hateful attitude and comments towards other VIP members in this forum or we’ll have to say goodbye to you.

Indeed, Israel’s GNP is higher than the combined GNP of Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank and Gaza. With a per capita income of about $14,000, Israel ranks as the sixteenth wealthiest country in the world; Israelis enjoy a higher per capita income than oil-rich Saudi Arabia and are only slightly less well-off than most Western European countries. “
According to Shirl McArthur, a retired U.S. foreign service officer: “Because of the uncertainties and ambiguities associated with U.S. aid to Israel, arriving at a precise figure for total direct U.S. aid to Israel probably is not possible. Parts of it are buried in the budgets of other government agencies—mostly the Defense Department (DOD)—or in a form not easily quantifiable—such as the early disbursement of aid, allowing Israel a direct gain and the U.S. Treasury a direct loss of interest on the unspent money. Given these caveats, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA) conservatively estimates cumulative total direct U.S. aid to Israel at $107.961 billion. ” http://www.wrmea.com/archives/July_2006/0607016.html
“Loan guarantees are not considered foreign aid so the $7.9 billion in guarantees have been excluded …” http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/US-Israel/U.S._Assistance_to_Israel1.html
“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.” – John J. Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt. “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy”

“The United States is the leading provider of bilateral economic and development assistance to the Palestinians, having programmed an estimated $1.7 billion through USAID since 1993.” http://www.usaid.gov/wbg/aboutUs.html
“US aid to the Palestinians during Fiscal Year 2007 is the Congressional Research Service’s Report “U.S. Foreign Aid to the Palestinians”, written by Paul Morro, Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs, updated October 9, 2007. In 2007, the US provided $50 million for the U.S. Agency for International Development’s West Bank and Gaza program, as well as $77 million directly to the Palestinian Authority.” http://italy.usembassy.gov/pdf/other/RS22370.pdf
Still want to kick my ass?
