Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) announced yesterday that Israel needs more than the $38 billion guaranteed over the next 10 years in an historic (as to how much it costs the American taxpayer) new arms agreement signed last week by the Obama administration, and Israel should not be limited to a spending cap of 27% as to how much of that aid can be diverted directly to it's own arms industry, (which by the way is one of the major arms exporters in the world). He is proposing an additional increase of $1.5 billion, continued sanctions against Iran, and promises a veto of that agreement unless the additional funds and sanctions are added. This to a nation, Israel, that touts it's standing in the ME and the world as to it's economic might, and rightfully so. Israel gives it's citizens free health care and education, while we in this country get fuck all.
Am I an idiot, or is there something wrong with this picture? Israel has for over 40 years been establishing illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, rejecting multiple requests by President after President, starting with Nixon and continuing with Obama, and basically saying blow me and just keep forking over the cash. What do you think, am I just wrong to think that we are getting screwed, or are the Republicans in the House and Senate just a bunch of scared of AIPAC cunts, and money grubbing sellouts to Israel? Tell me what you think.
