Obama tells Netanyahu what he can and cannot do
Regardless of whether the American president is a Democrat or Republican, the American government gives Israel Billions of taxpayer dollars. Those dollars clearly come with strings attached.

Maybe Israel would be better off not accepting welfare from America and be able to make its own decisions.
Shalom, and Welcome to Americans for Israel

Bush To Israel, “I give you permission to defend yourself.”
In its opening sentence, Debka news service flippantly reports that President bush “gave Israel the nod for its long-delayed military operation against Hamas.” Isn’t it astonishing that Ehud Olmert in Israel waits for the go from George W. Bush in Washington before Olmert defends his country’s citizens?
Here’s something to think about… How would we react if the article lead with: “President Hu Jintao of China gave America the nod for its long-delayed military operation against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan?”
Here’s the actual excerpt:
President George W. Bush gave Israel the nod for its long-delayed military operation against Hamas in the Gaza before he ended his 50-hour visit to Jerusalem and Ramallah on Friday, Jan. 11 – except that his provisos stop the Israeli military short of its objectives, namely stamping out the Palestinian missile campaign, halting smuggling and eradicating Hamas military stockpiles, as reported here by DEBKAfile’s military sources:

Rudy Giuliani: Friend of Israel?
Until recently, I like many others, was convinced that Rudy Giuliani was the best choice for Israel. And if you would have asked me why, I would answer in sentences that combined words like “9/11 hero,” “friend of Israel,” “he denied money from a Saudi prince,” etc.
I then discovered that our politicians give three times the amount of money to Israel’s enemies then to Israel. Three times! How absurd!
I then searched online confident that I would find numerous statements from Rudy condemning this dangerous policy. But nothing.
What I did find shocked me… among the client list for Giuliani Partners (Rudy’s security company that he still holds a financial stake in) was none other than the oil-rich terrorist State of Qatar. That’s right, Guiliani, was doing business with Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifah al-Thani, the emir of the royal family that praised Hezbollah’s “victory” over Israel and at one point harbored the man who would later be identified as the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks—a man named Khalid Sheikh Muhammad. Mind boggling I know, and Rudy doesn’t deny the ties. Watch the video below (especially the 1:35 mark)…
I then stumbled upon Ron Paul. His views on Israel were eye-opening, to say the least. He has consistently stated that our foreign aid to Israel’s enemies must stop.
After checking this out I all of a sudden saw the difference between someone like Giuliani saying and believing things about Israel, and someone like Ron Paul who would actually make proactive policy decisions that would directly benefit Israel and stop its enemies from growing stronger.
Giuliani can continue proclaiming his great love for Israel and the Jewish people, but until he pledges to stop funding its enemies, how can you take him seriously?
I think the choice is clear, so I’ve changed my vote to Ron Paul.
Please join us as we ask Rudy, the self-proclaimed friend of Israel, to pledge that if he be elected president, he will immediately end all US aid to Israel’s surrounding Arab countries and stop the militarization of those nations by our government. On second thought, we ask every candidate running to make that pledge.
It’s time Rudy and the others put their money where their mouths are—Ron Paul already has.
Ron Paul On Israel
While traveling from Washington to New Hampshire to campaign, Ron Paul provides a statement to JTA (The Global News Service of the Jewish People) explaining his position on Israel.
I support free trade and friendship with all nations, meaning that my administration would treat Israel as a friend and trading partner. Americans would be encouraged to travel to and trade with Israel
Our foreign military aid to Israel is actually more like corporate welfare to the U.S. military industrial complex, as Israel is forced to purchase only U.S. products with the assistance. We send almost twice as much aid to other countries in the Middle East, which only insures increased militarization and the drive toward war.
In fact, combined U.S. aid to Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and other friendly Arab nations is roughly commensurate with the $2.4 billion military aid package Israel currently gets.
We have adopted a foreign policy that has left Israel surrounded by militaristic nations while undermining Israel’s sovereignty by demanding that its foreign and defense policies be essentially pre-approved in Washington. That is a bad deal for Israel, as sovereign nations must determine on their own what is a most appropriate national defense. On foreign policy as well, the U.S. steps in to prevent Israel from engaging in dialogue with nations of which the U.S. administration disapproves.”

Paul’s call to end foreign aid draws Jewish following
| Published: 11/12/2007 |
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Jim Perry, a 22-year-old Libertarian, made a name for himself in college when, shortly after moving to New Hampshire to live free or die, he strapped a gun to his side and marched into a local Borders book store and proceeded to rip up a copy of his Massachusetts income tax return.
That sort of fighting spirit is a job requirement in his new post: executive director of the group “Jews for Ron Paul.”
Paul’s candidacy was dismissed early on due to his support from white supremacist, Libertarian and other fringe groups, but the campaign has begun to pick up steam on college campuses and on the Internet, in part due to his staunch anti-war stance.
A longtime Texas congressman, Paul raised $4.2 million on Nov. 5 from 37,000 individual donors who agreed to give as part of a “money bomb” on the anniversary of the failed plot of British mercenary Guy Fawkes to kill King James I in 1605. In September, he announced that he’d brought in $5.2 million in the previous three months, putting him ahead of John McCain in the Republican money race.
