The U.S. House of Representatives passed a debt limit bill that would see more than $2 trillion cut from government spending over ten years. But those cuts won’t affect the billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars Israel gets.
U.S. politicians said hands off U.S. taxpayer money going to Israel. Hypocritically, the United States is cutting aid to Palestinians.
It’s being reported that when the Republican party took control of the House of Representatives, they told AIPAC (formerly known as Jewish Defense League) that financial aid to Israeli would not be affected by spending cuts.
Israel gets tens of billions every year from the United States. That includes money for Israeli companies, the Israeli military, money that’s not officially reported, and interest on some of the money.
Can you believe that, Israel actually gets interest payments on the free money from U.S. taxpayers! The way that works is that some of the money is held back, and interest is accrued on the funds that have yet to be paid. One report said that between 2006 and 2008, $2.089 billion in interest was paid to Israel.
Isn’t obvious who really controls the United States government?
