You're so thick I dunno if you're just trying to provoke for the fun of it. 30% of all US foreign aid goes *suprise* to Israel. Most of it of course (over 50%) is for food and proper education both of which the miserable Israelis lack so desperetely.

Despite of the generous funding for Israel US comes short by achieving only 30% of internationally agreed and set target of 0.7% CNI and is placed 22. falling behind New Zealand, Greece, Italy and Japan. This of course wouldnt be the case if all aid to Israel would be included in this chart as then US would be not only achieve but exceed the set target by nearly one and half.

And this has what to do with my reply or the thread?
I said that all Governments provide aid to those who they consider a (best) interest to their countries.
And at the present time aid to Israel is considered in the best interest of our country.
Now as a Fact the U.S. is the largest supplier of aid to countries around the world bar or none, and we decide how it is to doled, and who gets what, according to our best interest, same as any other country.
I consider it very rude and crude for a beggar to insult the donor because of the wealth of the donor, and demand more just because the Beggar thinks the Charity should be more, because he deserves more.
