JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: ISRAEL AND U.S. IN TALKS ABOUT MORE ASSISTANCE - ISRAEL HAS BECOME LITTLE MORE THAN A GIGANTIC RECIPIENT OF AID FROM OTHERS


EXPANSION OF A COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RUSSIA TODAY


Has anyone ever asked why Israel automatically is expected to receive still more subsidy after the United States settles an important matter, nuclear proliferation, to all of the world’s benefit?

Israel and the United States even hold talks, as this article announces, about how much and when?

It is rather ridiculous, sort of any excuse at all for some more subsidies.

But then this is a country whose entire existence depends on subsidies of every kind. In a very real sense, it has no independent existence except as a gigantic recipient.

You might view Israel as a kind of geo-political black hole absorbing streams of resources from the West.
