The Ugly Truth About U.S. Aid To Israel
By Jeff Blankfort
So the US doesn't lend Israel a penny. What it has been doing for the past 15 years is underwriting Israeli loans on the international market, $26.3 billion since 1988 which then requires the US Congress to make sure that the Israeli economy stays healthy enough to pay them back. This should be considered nothing less than treason, not against the government, but against the American people.
Israeli lobbyists have also managed to get the large labor unions and state and city governments to buy billions of State of Israel Bonds at low interest which means they have been investing members dues in the case of unions, and taxpayers money, in the case of cities and states like California in New York in the Israeli economy, thereby, also requiring the political support by the unions and those states of continued financial assistance to Israel to make sure their investments remain viable. Clever operation on the part of the Israel lobby, no?
