US aid to Israel |
US "aid" to Israel The official, on-the-table U.S. aid to Israel--rarely, if at all, addressed in the mainstream media-- is $3,000,000,000 (40% economical and 60% Military) since 1984. Add to that $1,271,000,000/yr for special gifts and programs subsidized by the U.S., such as the Arrow missile and the Lavi fighter, plus the loan guarantees of $10,000,000,000 over 5 years, plus the interest ($500,000,000/yr) the U.S. must pay on money borrowed to pay for the grants to Israel. The total for the past five years (1993-1997) was around $6,300,000,000/year ($6.3 BILLION) or over $17 Million/DAY. This is more than what the U.S. spends on domestic drug enforcement. Perspectively, the total U.S. foreign aid to the whole world (6 Billion people) is about $18 BILLION, so, the one thousandth (1/1000) of the world population living in Israel--with life expectancy higher than that of the U.S.-- gets one third of US aid.

Thinking that I was there to work on an engineering project and return home with nothing to report, except perhaps a note or a paragraph on the project. My small experience of the situation and my incarceration was a drop in the ocean compared to the brutality suffered by the Palestinian people. Nothing from my school days and more recently, my research and writing of diverse historical events prepared me for the horrors of the Palestinian experience." |
