OK..how about no welfare for Muslims. Seems a fair trade.

"An Islamic civil rights and advocacy group"

Isn't it more accurate to say that CAIR is a terrorist-linked group? Some of their associates have been decidedly against the civil rights of non-muslims.

Well the Palis just got 50mill of our tax dollars as I recall. Israel should get 4x that. (at least!)

Actually, Israel enjoys a better situation than statehood. No taxes and all the benefits of a state. We spend too much on Israel.

However, as long as Daddy is paying for the entertainment I think Daddy should get to choose the movie.

I'm with the muslims on this but not of course for their reason.

We send far too much money to Israel.

What's wrong with that? US tax dollars should fund US citizens, not foreign ones. The cost of the settlements has been at least $50 billion dollars in the past 50 years. How much of that came from American pockets? If some Americans want to fund Israeli settlements, do it on your own dimes.

Seems like a good idea.

Which is exactly what we did in the early 50s (I know, I am old)

I can remember our church collecting dimes to send to Isreal to help buy and plant trees. What kind of trees? I don't know but it sounded like a noble idea at the time and I dutifully gave my dime.

This really isn't about Israel, it's about CAIR showing it's true colors for all the world to see. Note the following statement from CAIR,

"Such funds could be better used to improve conditions for ordinary Palestinians, whose lives have been devastated by decades of brutal occupation," the group added."

Wonder what happened to all that "Moderate Muslim" BS they stated spewing earlier? There are no "Moderate Muslims", but they will try to convince us Non-Muslims that there is, to lull us to sleep.

"The Devil's greatest accomplishment was convincing the world he didn't exist."

Israel and Egypt get the money under the Camp David accords, which were forced upon Israel by the Carter administration. Maybe you should stop paying Israel. You demand too much in return. First Sinai, now Gaza. What's next. I think, Israel would be better of without the $3 bln annual, which it has to repay anyway or buy US weapons for this money.

Right on!! And the grounds are that terorists that intentionally target civilians do not deserve U.S. taxpayers' support nor does any government or international agency that works with, supports or fails to condem and fails to fight such terrorists.

I've long since wanted tax dollars to STOP going to those terrorist thugs people call 'the palistinians'.... cut off all that aid and we can talk.

I actually agree with them. If the Israelis want to commit suicide let them do it on their own dime.

Israel is reported to be seeking $2.2 billion in additional aid

It is my understanding that there are about 5,000 Jewish settlers in the Gaza strip. This works out to about $440,000 per settler, or about $1.8 MILLION for each family of four. Why so much?

C.A.I.R. has no business being on American soil. Founded by HAMAS, a recognized terrorist organization, it should be given the boot for being the propaganda machine that it is.
