Indeed, all past U.S. loans to Israel have eventually been forgiven by Congress, which has undoubtedly helped Israel's often-touted claim that they have never defaulted on a U.S. government loan. "
A little nugget from the Washington Report, a compendium of congressional actions during any particular session.

I am really sorry, Jimmy. But you are saying EXACTLY what I said in different words... These loan guarantees are money loans for Israel to buy goods IN America! Not to buy goods in Yeman! Israel has used this money to buy goods IN America! America gave itself 16 billion dollars! It gave it to the likes of mcDonald Douglas, Boeing etc. Just like it just did to it's airline and steel industries. I repeat, MOST of the money the US gives Israel is credit/loan to buy goods IN the US, from US companies.
Jimmy, I am really not trying to upset you. You are just wrong! And you still didn't answer my question: where are your posts against the billions sent each year to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Joden etc.? Is this NOT your tax money? Is your problem ONLY against Jews getting money - or is it spread evenly between all non-US governments? If the latter, it means you are an isolationist. In Sep 11 it was proven that if you ignore the world, it doesn't mean the world is ignoring you. This money that the US is spending on financing sane regimes around the world is actually GOOD for American interests.
