In reply to the discussion: It's time for the US to STOP blocking Palestinian statehood at the UN [View all]It's become plain to see that the Zionist aim of total expansion in all of Palestine has become nearly accomplished. This is what happens when the US adopts Israel as the 51 state of the Union. Problem is that Karma can be such a hard teacher.

We should not be sending billions of taxpayer monies to Israel when we are broke. Let them stand on their own and then they may just embrace change.
