54 Years Today: Despite Flying the American Flag, Being Painted with the American Flag, and Sending out Distress Signals in Perfect American English, America's Great Ally Attacked This Ship Killing 34 and Wounding 171. Israel Paid 13 Million as Compensation. We Give Them Billions Each Year.

The US should cease ALL "foreign aid" immediately. To ALL nations!

Nice idea, but won't happen. The "foreign aid" are bribes, which give the State Department a fun playground to build kingdoms in. Without it, their own power would decrease and they'd throw a fit.

The UK is currently reducing its foreign aid budget from 0.7% GDP to 0.5% GDP and a similar temper tantrum is going on there. Bullshit about "won't somebody think of the children...you're killing children by doing this" when all that's happening is government agencies and NGOs are seeing their power decrease. I always thank the Simpsons for letting me see through what a bullshit move "won't somebody think of the children" is.
