Contempt.......not hatred. And forget the numbers. Nobody has the exact figures anyway. $10 billion or $6 billion.........I don't care. Wasn't Israeli welfare originally meant to promote peace and a stable flow of oil? You have to go deep into the house chambers of US congress to find people who refer to Israel as a peace loving nation and even they squirm when they say it. Also......Israel is the 16th wealthiest country on earth in terms of income per capita. With a tax base like that, why do they need more US financial aid each year than the rest of the world combined?
