What a truly sordid relationship we see here between the butchering Netanyahu and his shameless paymasters. <br /><br />Just think too how the military corporations running Iron Dome, bombs and guns into Israel must be revelling in all of this.

Netanyahu added that he now “expected” the US and other countries to fully support Israel’s offensive in Gaza, according to those familiar with the call. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the matter by name.<br />--------------<br /><br />"SHUT UP, OBAMA, AND GIVE US OUR DAMNED MONEY!" shouted The Butcher.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/08/02/congress-approves-225-million-in-funding-for-israels-iron-dome-missile-defense-system/" rel="nofollow">And so it was done</a>.<br /><br />Congress appropriated $235 million to Iron Dome last year.<br /><br />The White House had originally requested about $176 million for the system for 2015, but lawmakers increased the amount. Congress often increases funding for Israeli security projects sought by the president.<br />------------<br />We've got huge problems here in the U.S. Congress left town without doing anything about any of them. But they gave Bibi his war crimes money.<br />~ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®©https://www.blogger.com/profile/06252371815131259831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1725411122663433189.post-17018667240944854252014-08-03T10:12:12.060-07:002014-08-03T10:12:12.060-07:00John it is heartbreaking the pictures and news com...John it is heartbreaking the pictures and news coming out of Gaza.
