$9 billion package of U.S. loan guarantees to help Israel weather a deep recession and fiscal crisis.

According to some posters on this site, Israel doesn't need US help or money.

Does America get a vote in this outrageous amount? The US has always forgiven loans to Israel. I can think of better uses here in the homeland and for our military that the money would be better spent on.

I vote 2 billion tops as more than enought to GIVE our ally!

Instead of all the bitching...perhaps some of you peeps should show some gratitude for the massive amounts we give Israel. Is there another country that aids Israel in any manner?

DON"T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU!!!

It's about time! Who's the dog and who's the tail here? Israel is behaving like a spoilt kid - it needs some "tough love".

DON"T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU!!!

But the other hand is feeding twice as much to your enemy who has sworn to wipe you from the face of the earth.

So confusing, but I've yet to see the Israeli government make part of their constitution the obliteration of their Arab neighbors, as is the so-called Palestinian.

BTW, these are loan guarantees which Israel always repaid. The US doesn't need to forgive the loans since they have been paid back. Show me any other country that has repaid its US loans like the Israeli's have. Most countries just have their hand out for our generous giving and we get back zilch, nada, nicks, zero in return from the rest of our "friends".

Let's leave the Israeli's alone and let them do what we don't really have the guts to do and that is to take out the leadership of terror groups. If the Israeli's had Osama cornered in a 40 square mile area, you can be sure that they would find a way to take him out and bring his head back on a wooden stake along with his followers.
