You didn't prove anything, as you did not include all U.S. financial assistance to Israel in your "2% of Israel's GDP" statement. And I didn't say I want Israel off USAID, either -- I simply want them to treat us the way any beneficiary of financial largesse should treat their primary benefactor.
Israel only signed those accords because of that idiotic Israeli Leftists and a sell out Begin who thought he would get peace with Egypt.
Israel signed those accords because they had the sh!t scared out of them in the 1973 Yom Kippur war. The Begin government was smart enough to realize that the nation's economy would collapse if it had to finance a major military campaign with its neighbors every 5-10 years. In addition to all that, the U.S. government made it perfectly clear to both parties that the Sinai peninsula had to be given back to Egypt as part of the agreement.
YOu didnt prove Israel needs US to survive. I showed you Israel existed before US Aid in 1973 and was just fine.
I want ISrael off US AID because just like ISrael has their own interests that dont always coincide with American interests, America doesnt always have Israeli interests in mind.

What a way to twist history. First off in 1973 it was Nixon and that self hating JEw Kissinger who begged Israel not to attack first. Israel listened foolishly and it cost Israel greatly, still Israel won and was prepared to Finish Egypt and Syria off, but once again gave into American Pressure.
Israel got NOTHING for giving back the Siani. They gave up oil reserves THEY DEVELOPED, and now have to deal with tunnels built across the Sinai that transport weaposn to PLO and Hamas.
