Israeli government braces for cuts in military aid as U.S. economy worsens....
TEL AVIV — Israel's government has learned that the U.S. economy continues to worsen and is bracing for the prospect that President Barack Obama would significantly cut military aid.

"We are receiving reports that the American economy is getting worse and worse, and they're having trouble paying for basic programs," an official said. "This could quickly be used as a stick against foreign aid." Officials said the Defense Ministry has held several meetings on the issue during 2009, the latest of which took place on July 21. They said the ministry, in consultation with the military, was examining the damage of any U.S. aid cutoff to the Jewish state.

Good and with the collapsing US economy Israels goes down as well, I see our Parasite Jewish nation has not even bothered to thank its American host for the $3 Trillion spent on this nation since 1948. Its going to be a mighty lonely world out their for Israel, no superpower to fight its wars, I will say the attack on Iran will be the lid on Israels coffin.

I wouldn't write them off yet, Barack Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual served in the Israeli military.

Well sending 300-400 billion in this climate.. and if that is connected to rahm, with that whole federal reserve and birther business... nah, i think they will want to lay low.

Hel, obama even took a step back on a racequestion. That means hes well aware that he is well on his way to beat gwb II in impopularity real soon, and cannot afford any avoidable problems.

But it's 'bipartisan' and 'following the guidelines set in the George Bush administration'. The 'right wing' here loves Israel, and the 'left wing' depends enough on jewish money and brainpower that they can't mount a coherent effective drive to cut off the subsidy. The Israeli lobby has been already hurt by the drawdown in Iraq and lessened hostility towards Iran, to ask for a cut in the direct subsidy would be just too much, and unfeasible regarding the the political situation here. We joke about 'ZOG' on here, but to consider a reduction in direct military aid to Israel below the current level places one in the 'neo-nazi, kkk, extremo-nutcase' camp and therefore will not happen anytime soon.
