Israel is better off without and all the strings that come attached with it. Better to be sovereign ~
GOD Doesn’t need Anyone’s help to Protect Israel!! Not even Israel’s. HE Is Able!!
But not to the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood ? Says volumes !
Not surprised with this A.H.in the W.H.
They need to cut off ALL aid to the parasites that infest Greater Palestine. Jews are the most evil group of maggots that have ever existed!
Has he suspended it to the other countries as well?
Yet, money to the arabs who do not need it since we are buying their oil still flows
Obama hates Israel, everyone in the United States of America knows it. If not for George W. Bush making sure Israel received aid until 2016 (after Burrack is out of office) Israel would have been cut off long ago by the Burrack Hussein Obama.
