American Congressman(Hoyer): US Economic Woes Won’t Affect Israel

[Purveyor]

US Congressman Steny Hoyer says financial challenges "will not have any adverse effect on America’s determination to meet its promise to Israel."

The current economic crisis in the US will have no impact on US financial assistance to Israel, US Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-Maryland) said Wednesday.

Hoyer, the second-highest ranked Democrat in the House of Representatives, is leading a delegation of 26 US Democratic congressmen on a tour of Israel and the Palestinian Authority sponsored by the American Israel Education Foundation, a charitable organization affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Hoyer said he wanted to “make it clear” that the financial challenges confronting the US will not “have any adverse effect on America’s determination to meet its promise to Israel in the form of aid for its qualitative superiority, or for its economic security.”

3. Oh well thank God for that

I lay awake at night about how we can keep our $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ obligations to Israel.
Jezus H Christ, what is WRONG with these people- nothing short of a revolution in this country is going to change a goddamn thing. These pissers, these fuckers, drain us dry of everything and give us nothing back, but let's assure Israel that we will meet our obligations.

HEY FUCKER STENY - HOW ABOUT THE OBLIGATIONS TO SS AND MEDICARE? YOU POS

7. God forbid Israel should ever get one penny less

Doesn't matter if the US economy is going down the crapper, our citizens are jobless and homeless, our schools and infrastructure are failing, and we're headed for the third world at warp speed.

What matters is that fucking Israel should never have even a moment's anxiety that they might not get their blood money.

8. Note Netanyahu's response a little further down. If Israel makes peace, US will pay through nose...

...for it:

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, in a meeting he had with the delegation Wednesday, thanked Hoyer and the congressmen for US security assistance and for supporting earlier this year – in a tough economic climate in Washington – the allocation of $200 million for the Iron Dome anti missile system.

Netanyahu also said that if an agreement was reached with the Palestinians, it would entail a significant investment in Israel’s security infrastructure, something that will necessitate additional allocations from Congress.

LOL! That's your money, my money. One of the hardest right-wing governments in a first world nation is going to make a Democratic first-world government pay top dollar so they can both pretend the right-wing government is making peace.

You'll be in a bread line, all other US aid recipients will be cut off long before Israel has so much as a hiccup in their stream of US taxpayer dollars.
