11. Cessation of all foreign aid: All current foreign aid and assistance programs will stop and be considered on an individual bases by the temporary governing body. It is my earnest hope that the American people can come to the realization that everyone in the world is not out to destroy us and that much of the current aid we spend only supports many corrupt governments and social injustices.

I propose that the United States places an end date or stage down, to the continuation of the Aid to Israel. When are we the people of America going to stop funding other countries governments? I am NOT anti-Semite; I am just a citizen that will experience MUCH higher federal income taxes to pay for the past mistakes of a fraudulent executive branch, enabled by a complacent congress, and lax judiciary. If funding for Israel was cut or staged down, Israel would be forced to make peace with its neighbors. Why is this bad? Funding for Israel only funds fraud and aggression.

Repeal S. Con. Res. 11: A concurrent resolution condemning all forms of anti-Semitism and reaffirming the support of Congress for the mandate of the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Ant-Semitism, and for other purposes. This is from the 111th congress. It could be interpreted that any comments condemning the continuing funding of Israel can fall under this legislation. It gives congress legislative support to ignore any calls to stop funding Israel. This is legislating that bans thought or speech concerning Israel.

We should add strings to Military Aid to Israel (or any nuclear armed country), for every billion we give them; we get one of their nuclear warheads back. At least this way we are progressing in disarming nukes from the world. The estimated amount of Aid to Israel from its inception to November 2008 is $114 billion dollars. (McArthur, 2008) This seems to be an extremely low number.

Once you start tracking how much foreign aid is spent every year to support foreign governments and the extraction of resources, only one conclusion can be cast, the American government absolutely hates spending money on its own citizens. Why is it so attractive to spend exorbitant amounts of funds on foreign aid? The accounting of this money does not translate well with the GAO, so handling fees of the funds can be taken off the top and used to for whatever, whose to know. Kickbacks are most likely built into the system of any long term arrangement such as funds to Israel. This would explain why so many politicians are so in love with AICAP.

Forign aid does in the long run reduce conflict. Bad idea to end it.
So telling the American people that we can no longer fund social programs with their own money but still can fund foreign aid to the tune of hundreds of billions, is a good thing?
$30 billion aid to Israel
$60 billion aid to south america
$50 billion aid to africa over five years
$6 billion aid to Pakistan, so we can continue to use there roads
Understand the basic problem with our central government. Which is this, they hate spending money on Americans. Whenever they do spend money on Americans it gains the colorful name of entitlement programs. Our government likes to spend money on wars (war profiteers), arms (military industrial complex), and aid to other countries (no accountability skims).
$30 billion aid to Israel
Yup, and they should get more.
They need it.

Israel is a parasite upon the American government. When are they ever going to become self sufficient? The answer is never, if we continue to fund their government and military. America loves the ideal of having a sudo-democracy represented in the Middle East. Israel is not a democracy or a republic for that matter; they have a hierarchal based government that is bent on the full occupation of a land that has much historical significance to the region. Israel is a very racist country, where if your not of the true blood then your not accepted by their government with full rights and privileges.
I am not advocating violence to any country or state for violence is the first resort of a limited mind, as seen by our prior president. It is just that we the people of United States are entering some very troubled economic times, and the burden that Israel represents is one we can do without.
The fact that Israel has more power over my government than we the people our government is meant to represent, has left me very troubled. The Federal government operates upon the concent of its citizens, this is our government, they best not forget that fact.
