U.S. officials: Israel wants up to $5 billion in annual military aid

Israel has made an initial request for its annual U.S. defense aid to increase to as much as $5 billion when its current aid package, worth an average $3 billion a year, expires in 2017, US congressional sources said on Wednesday.
Israel wants $5 billion per year in military aid for 10 years, for a total of $50 billion, the congressional aides said. It has been signaling that it wants more money to counter threats it says will arise as a result of the international agreement on Iran's nuclear program, which Israel's government has staunchly opposed.
Congressional and other US officials cautioned that negotiations on the new aid deal were still in the early stages and the proposal is not yet at the stage where it has been formally brought to Congress, which must approve the funds.
"First they have to negotiate with the White House," one senior congressional aide said of Israel.
50 billion could go a long way here at home instead of enriching the bigots in the Likrud party: keeping apartheid alive and well.
Israel is not a US state, no matter how many Brooklynites move there. Cut em off.
They want an aircraft carrier from the US.
They want 5 billion a year now.
They call our POTUS an anti-Semite.
They call our SoS a 12-year old.
They basically say, "Hey America, fuck you and mind your own business. Now give us more military hardware so we can continue with our ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians."
What next? Do they want a Unicorn that farts glitter?
Cut em off.
