Not entirely true, I mean the US has often written its objections on the back of foreign aid checks.

Actually the US positions and votes in the UN receive more support from Israel than any other country in the world, including Canada and the UK. Many if not most people in the Muslim and Arab world see Israel as a puppet of the US.

In any event, whether the world sees the US as Israel's puppet or Israel as the US's puppet, what they see is two countries joined at the hip acting often as a singular force that is difficult to distinguish. Which is what Jefferson warned about the whole entangling alliances bit, as their enemies become your enemies whether you like it or not and vice versa.

Ever read Israeli News?

It reads like the civil rights movement, replacing the N word with Muslim's

I'm a liberal, and I wholly agree with him.

I haven't followed Rand Paul closely, but he seems reasonable and okay. LOL, way too much to be a prostitute politico.

Of course you agree with him. Liberals hate Israel for some reason. Rand Paul is an idiot for this alone! Israel has to now worry about Eygpt!!! Lord knows what's gonna end up happening over there. Israel is the only ally we have over there!

GOP senator favors cutting US aid to Israel - Politics - msnbc.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41313690/ns/politics/ - broken link)

why not cut all aid (giving) to all of these countries

why not make the aid that we alot, be LOANS instead of GIVING

we give 4 billion a year to EJYPT, 2 billion a year to haiti, 12 billion a year to isreal

there is over 240 billion GIVEN in foreign aid every year


liberal policies are killing america

Follow the money, folks.

The US government gives "military aid" to a lot of governments and then those governments turn around and buy military hardware from the US.
