DOJ needs to dig into this asap and not just for recent aid. Quoting: Xeven I was thinking that same thing the other night when I saw more and more political brats getting rich off political connections. I also thought it was a money laundering operation of the highest order. No wonder the places where we send aid never improve. |

How much does Israel give in foreign aid? Israeli foreign aid ranks low among OECD nations, spending less than 0.1% of its GNI on development assistance, as opposed to the recommended 0.7%. Healthcare in Israel is universal All of Israel's nine public universities, and some of its colleges, are subsidized by the government, and students pay only a small part of the actual cost of tuition. Israel was ranked 19th on the 2016 UN Human Development Index, indicating "very high" development. It is considered a high-income country by the World Bank. Israel also has a very high life expectancy at birth. The Global Competitiveness Report of 2016 to 2017 ranked Israel as having the world's second most innovative economy.[199] It was also ranked 18th among 188 world nations on the UN's Human Development Index, which places it in the category of "Very Highly Developed."[200] less than 50% [link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)] |

This was because Carter could NOT give them the money Directly. This was also in addition to the Nuclear "energy" plants that they said could NOT be used for weapons (a lie) plus all the Food he sent. Carter was a much bigger piece of shit than you know, don't even get me started about his smuggling weapons through Yasser Arafat. |
