Israel wants $2.2b from U.S. for Gaza pullout
Israel will request 2.2 billion dollars from the United States to help finance its planned pullout from the Gaza Strip, Israeli sources said on Monday.
Israel has originally requested 500 million dollars in pullout aid from Washington, but in preliminary discussions, U.S. officials said they were ready to give Israel ??generous aid,? Israel radio said.
"This is our biggest aid request in my memory -- which is hardly surprising given the unprecedented scale of the Disengagement Plan," a top Israeli official said on condition of anonymity.
The money will be spent on the process of relocating army bases to Israel and tightening security on the Egyptian-Israeli border after Israel withdraws from all 21 settlements in Gaza as well as four other enclaves in the northern West Bank.
The rest of the money will be spent on development projects in the Galilee and Negev regions, where many of Gaza settlers are likely to be relocated.

Israel wants $2.2b from U.S. for Gaza pullout
i agree with u helping out one very tiny powerless country that has done nothing for us except create problems seams like a shitty idea. ontop of all this its caused virtually ever middle eastern country to hate us. i have also watch shows on tv that describes an attack of a u.s. intellegence ship(that was unarmed) that was performed by them and when confronted they said it was a mistake when all of the crew members on board said the american flag was flying and could be seen clearly and when a helicopter landed on the ship it could see the faces of the men were american but it then proceeded to take off and spray the ship with machine gun. you can go here to check out the whole story http://www.geocities.com/northstarzone/LIBERTY.html

Agreed it is bullshit. I am sick of paying Israel anything. Our society is so afraid of being called anti semetic if we speak out against aid to Israel....we have become overly protective...Israel uses that to its full advantage...it is bullshit.
