Jim Moore, illustrating the folly of criminal u.s. policy vis-a-vis the criminal israelis, points out in ETHER ZONE:
* Since 1978, direct aid to Israel has cost America $3 billion per year. This is in the
form of "loans", but all loans are forgiven, so they are never repaid.
(What repay? It's a gift, isn't it?)
* Most of the money given to Israel is classified, so it is concealed in other
accounts, or buried in the Defense budget.
(Smart. Don't let the left hand know what the right
hand is doing.)
* "Loan guarantees" is a new device for hiding the US aid to Israel. Israel is
unable to pay back these loans, so the US forgives it.
(One partner helping out another.)
* The US "allows" Israel to buy US weaponry at a discount, some of which Israel
has resold to Iran at a neat profit.
(Buy low, sell high. Oldest rule in the book.)
* The US has been forced to buy Israeli goods, thanks to intricate manipulations by
extremely clever Jews in the administration.
(Did you ever hear of a stupid Jew?)
*Israel is allowed to export to the US, but any US exports to Israel are strictly limited.
This costs US taxpayers about $9 billion annually.
(Hooray for Free Trade!)
* US "indirect aid" to Israel takes the odd form of aid to Egypt and Jordan,
It's the price the US pays for both countries' peace treaties with Israel.
(Get real, protection never comes cheap.)
* Some US aid to Israel is "consequential", that is, costs incurred because of
US support FOR Israel, but not support TO Israel. This semantic bafflegab cost the US more
than $1 trillion.
(It's like Clinton defining what "is" is.)
* The Arab oil embargo of 1973 caused a panic. An encore would be catastrophic for Israel.
So the US spent $150 billion for the strategic petroleum reserve to protect Israel against
another Arab oil embargo.
(Help us now, and we'll ask for another loan,)
