Well, after several month's hiatus, I see it's status quo here at Y/A Politics...hate keeps flowing, racism abounds, ignorance proliferates?

My question: Can anyone tell me why on Earth has the U.S. pledged $3.15 BILLION yearly until 2018 to Israel for Israel's defense?

We taxpayers pay more for Israeli defense than Israelis do.

And before anyone starts with the "Intergalactic KelleeBundee is anti-Semitic," I am not. I am anti-genocide & anti-apartheid.

Q2- Is everyone in our government afraid of AIPAC?

Where've you been Kellee? I've missed you. And it's not "status quo," the quality of questions has degenerated over the last few months. I don't spend nearly as much time logged in to YA as I used to. And yes, the negativity keeps flowing, abounding, and proliferating, just as it always has. It just seems worse nowadays.

To answer your question: there are "Christians" out there that think it's their "duty" to support attitudes that were formulated back in Moses' time - more than a millenium before Islam. John McCain would be for bombing Buddhist women and children in Nepal if they beefed about the price of rice in Israel.

Glad to see you back.
