President Barack Obama promised Haitians Thursday they would not be forgotten, offering 100 million dollars in immediate earthquake aid and every element of US power to help them.
And here’s a Wikipedia graph of an estimate of what the U.S. has given in military aid to Israel during the last 10 years:
And zipcode 91910-6412 received a bit over 16 million good for the creation of 3.08 full time tax paying mother fucking jobs. How about that for assistance of the needy!
American citizens are Obama’s “Priority Zero”.

How exactly would Isreal “turn on us like a mad dog”? Will they align themselves with all the Muslim extremists in the region? Will they provide safe harbor to Osama Bin Laden? Doubtful.
Sending Isreal weaponry is money well spent. They use them on all the right people.
Plus one credit for daring to mention this.
Prepare for the default ‘anti-Semitic’ label.
We need to cut Aid to ALL countries.

MikeN said: “Give the money as military aid to Dominican Republic, and have them invade Haiti. Long term that is best for the Haitian people.”
Yea, never mind that the killing of Haitians that will occur will be best for them…uh, right
green said: “Christians don’t like voodoo.”
Right, because Christians have so much love for Buddhists and Muslims that there isn’t much left for voodoo. Sheesh.
Duh…there’s no oil in Haiti.
Israel needs the money to buy F-16s. The country is surrounded by kooky muslims who should be thanking israel….the existence of israel means that islamic nations now have a perennial country to blame for their own economic, social, and military shortcomings.
Rick Cain: “the existence of israel means that islamic nations now have a perennial country to blame for their own economic, social, and military shortcomings.”
Yea, I’m sure it has nothing to do with the killing of Palestinians, occupation of Arab land, or the lack of self-determination or freedom of movement. The most simple answer is the easiest for simpletons to understand. So yea, they’re just looking for someone to blame.
What kind of a comparison is that?
The US aid to Egypt is the same as the military aid to Israel.
What about the US aid to other countries as well?
Actually, every dollar sent to Israel goes back to the US because it can only be spent on US made products.
Israel is at least a democracy.
The other countries in that area are controlled by Arab vicious dictators.
