When I was born in 1967, the USA was allies with Egypt in the Middle East and the French were allied with Israel. In fact, in 1967 the Israelis attacked a US Navy ship killing 33 US soldiers during a conflict with Egypt. The Israelis were flying French built Mirage jets.

What happened ?

Here was the scheme cooked up by the weapons industry in the USA and Israel.

1) Lobbing for billions of US taxpayer money to be given to Israel in the form of grants.

2) Israel uses this money to purchase US weapons enriching US corporations. A win/win for Israel and the US defense industry at the expense of US taxpayers.

3) Call this money laundering.

The end result:

The alienation of the entire Middle East. The hatred of the entire Muslim Culture which then deems the US the great Satan. 9/11, thousands of dead US citizens, thousands of dead US soldiers, the Boston Marathon.

All so a small group of CEO's and shareholders who can live a life of luxury in the name of "peace" and 'defending America". Their kids go to ivy league colleges and the kids of dead soldiers go to community college.

And for what, really- how does defending Israel help the USA ? They use our money to buy their weapons and God forbid anyone complain or they are αnтι-ѕємιтєs; the worst possible scuм on the planet.

Happy Hanukah.
