Israel seeking to boost the value of a new US defense package from the current $3bn to up to $5bn per year
Why does the US give Israel billions of dollars in military aid each year?
Why do less than 6 million European Jews, invaders and oppressors of a foreign land and it’s people deserve to be so lavishly armed and equipped?
The answer can only be that there is vast corruption at work here, that those who control the US purse strings are working not for the benefit of the US people, but for the benefit of Israel.
Israel is a criminal state with no right to exist, it is built on lies, deceit and murder and as long as it exists, there will be no peace in the Middle East. As long as the US supports this evil regime then it must share in the guilt for the many terrible crimes of Israel.

The United States is preparing to offer Israel the largest military aid package offered to any country in US history, a White House official indicated Monday.
“We are prepared to sign an MOU [memorandum of understanding] with Israel that would constitute the largest single pledge of military assistance to any country in US history,” a White House official told Reuters, amid a bipartisan push by US senators urging the Obama administration to increase military aid to Israel.
Ongoing discussions with Israel were aimed at reaching a memorandum of understanding that would see a significant increase in foreign aid to Israel over the next 10 years, the official said.
Eighty three of the 100 US senators signed a letter Monday calling for President Barack Obama to quickly reach an agreement on a new defense aid package for Israel worth more than the current deal of $3 billion per year, Reuters reported.
“In light of Israel’s dramatically rising defense challenges, we stand ready to support a substantially enhanced new long-term agreement to help provide Israel the resources it requires to defend itself and preserve its qualitative military edge,” said the letter, which was seen by Reuters.
Republican Lindsey Graham and Democrat Chris Coons lead the push, while Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz was one of 51 from his party to sign the letter, according to the report.
Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was not among signatories.
An Israeli official welcomed the push, saying it is encouraging to see wide bipartisan and public support for Israel.
The Israelis have been pushing for a substantial increase of $1-2 billion a year, with Netanyahu making intensive diplomatic efforts to boost the overall value of the package to $50 billion, it was reported.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hoping to conclude the negotiations over a new 10-year package of US defense aid while Obama is still in office, Ha’aretz reported earlier this month, but he has also indicated that he may wait to negotiate with Obama’s successor in order to get the best deal possible.
Obama, currently in the last year of his second term, will leave the White House in January 2017.
On a visit to Israel last month, US Vice President Joe Biden reportedly urged Netanyahu to accept the US offer which he said would reflect Israel’s security needs despite being less than the amount Jerusalem is seeking, the Times of Israel reports.
According to a report by Israel’s Channel 10, Israeli officials say Biden offered reassurance that the deal could always be adjusted after signing, however the Prime Minister’s Office could not confirm this report.
Among the military equipment Israel seeks from the US deal are the F-35 fighter, a squadron of F-15’s to be customized with Israeli systems, and the V-22 Osprey tilt rotor aircraft, capable of reaching Iran. The deal will also see an increase in the capabilities of the “Iron Dome,” “David’s Sling,” and “Arrow 3,” short, medium, and long range anti-ballistic missile systems.

Here’s my call in response to the above article: Cock head Obama WILL take FULL control of the US just prior to the elections, and the Muslim flag shall be hoisted, and WW3 will begin!

This only supports my own conclusion!
