Israel Needs Ransom for Gaza Pullout

Israel has asked the United States for 2.2 billion in tax dollars to relocate the residents leaving Gaza. Am I missing something here? I mean is Israel under the impression that it is really the U.S.'s 51st state? If 2.2 billion dollars seems too much to relocate 9100 settlers (thats about a quarter of a million per person!), Ariel Sharon claims that this is a fraction of the cost needed, that it actually amounts to 6-7 billion dollars. Well what do the American people have to say about that, in a poll conducted by CNN showed 94% of the voters against bribing Israel to leave the occupied territory. Israel has truly shown to be an audacious disrespectful, irresponsible and arrogant nation. To ask for something that their government shoould handle. Its bad enough that hard working Americans lose 3 billion of their tax dollars to build settlements every year but now this. To what extent will these free loading thieves ask us to bail them out.

Here is something to think about, consider the rampant starvation crisis in Nigeria right now that threatens the lives of millions. Doctors without Borders estimate that it requires 16 million dollars to meet the demands of this crisis. And we are worried about a bunch of spoiled criminals who can not cry when told to leave the land the stole. The next thing you know they'll be asking Americans to change their diapers!
