We are independent. We will always be independence. Never has the U.S. said we have to surrender our soveriegnty for aid which is mostly loan guarantees in any cases -- loans which have always been repaid with interest.

If the price of U.S. aid is our right to defend our national interests then we need no such aid.

A substantial amount of aid that America gives to Israel is not in loans. It is billions of dollars to spend at American military equipment manufacturers.

I'm not trying to be anti-Israel here, I'm just pointing out that if we wanted, we could tell Israel to jump and if Israel didn't jump, we could take the money back. Not that we should, just that we could. There is no way to avoid this, it's natural, just like the laws of supply and demand.

Time to stop it then. Tell America that you no longer want our support.
