Intelligence for one thing. Israel has one of the best intel organizations in the world and they share with the US, which is especially valuable in the Middle East, given their expertise. Military Technology is another shared resource. The Israelis' have developed a lot of very good military equipment and or improved upon US goods. The Iron Dome and anti missile defense systems Reactive armor protection Israeli bandage 1st aid Robotics etc... https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjn0eeVifntAhVZCM0KHTuoCcwQFjARegQIHRAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jewishvirtuallibrary.org%2Fisraeli-military-equipment-used-by-the-u-s&usg=AOvVaw3i8FeNC0m584S4G9Qa7sNL Israel is democratic and supports the US without fail in the UN and in the world. Israel currently is developing all kinds of new civilian technology from small water desalinization plants to Drip irrigation at an Israeli nursery. Rooftop solar hot-water system. A laser projection keyboard used with a tablet. Iron Dome rocket interception system. Model of quasicrystals, discovered by Nobel prize winner Dan Shechtman of the Technion. Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation. And there is much much more.

@cliffordeberhardt5524 Your book and many of its ideas are highly problematic.

Really ignorant comment.

@prophetnozza4150 Absolutely I do. If you would like to make a case, I will gladly dismantle for you. The conspiracy theories you seem to be advocating have been around for a long time and are solidly grounded in simple Jew hatred. Perhaps however I have mislabeled you and for this reason, I ask you to state your case.

@prophetnozza4150 I don't see an argument. What I do see is a series of accusations. Not the same thing at all. Since you flung those accusations, you now are burdened with providing proof and explaining exactly what the conspiracy is and how. Failing that, you are simply another loon. One of me? What are you saying, you think I am Jewish? I'm not but there you go. Bigotry over reason. What really do you believe the Jews have done that you think/find offensive? Let's look at one of your accusations. The Jews or Israel, I guess, controls the US Senate. Hmmm...how many Senators are Jewish? I count 9. They are: Michael Bennet (D-CO)# Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) Jacky Rosen (D-NV)* Brian Schatz (D-HI) Bernard Sanders (I-VT) Charles Schumer (D-NY) Ron Wyden (D-OR) So do these 9 control the Senate? How? Show me the votes where this can be demonstrated. We can use the same metric for Congress, which has 27 Jewish members out of 435. Control?????

@prophetnozza4150 This supposed quote is weak. It derives from what exact source? Don't worry I looked it up. Supposedly, it comes from Israel radio (in hebrew) Kol Yisrael, Peres warned Sharon Wednesday that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and "turn the US against us." The problem is that it was originally reported by pro-Hamas group IAP – the Islamic Association for Palestine – which attributed the quote to a report on “the Israeli Hebrew radio, Col [sic] Yisrael.” At this point, a furious Sharon reportedly turned toward Peres, saying "every time we do something you tell me Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it." Also even if Sharon said this, does it make it so? What kind thinking is that? Many powerful and important people in history have said all manner of things, which were demonstrably false. This quote supposedly happened in 2001. Okay so if the US is in the pocket of Israel, why would the US have forced Peace between Israel and Egypt, which made Israel give up Sinai and create the Palestinian authority throughout the West Bank? Why did the US never recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel or have our embassy there until Trump did so? Why did the US stop Israel from completely crushing the Egyptian Army in Sinai during the 73 war, when it was surrounded? Why did the US force Israel, Britain and France to give back the Suez Canal in 56? Why was the Obama admin. so hostile to Israel on settlements, AIPAC, criticism of Israeli blockade of Gaza, etc...? These are a few examples which severely undercut your thesis? I would guess that you are not a student of history. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjM6OKu-fntAhVVHM0KHQoKDPoQFjAHegQICBAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jewishpress.com%2Findepth%2Fmedia-monitor%2F144435%2F2004%2F11%2F10%2F&usg=AOvVaw2pbW-jyphJqSgmS80t90sz https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjM6OKu-fntAhVVHM0KHQoKDPoQFjAAegQIBBAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.camera.org%2Farticle%2Ffalse-zionist-quote-sharon-quote-is-fabricated%2F&usg=AOvVaw31zTwAq1zZywKRQJybo5Lc

@prophetnozza4150 Because you say something does mean it is true. Give me examples of the control you think a cabal of Jews or Israel has over the US govt, media, banking etc... Likely you are relying on ridiculous anti Semitic web sites, with equally inane sourcing such as the Sharon quote. Can't you see you are being manipulated in a really obvious way?

The bill is an omnibus bill, which means all kinds of shite is there. Also it's 500 million not 3.3 billion. The US does give money to Israel as a condition of the Peace Accord signed between Egypt and Israel under Carter in 79. Almost all of this money is for defense and the purchasing of American weapons systems. Egypt also receives money under the terms of the treaty. Generally Israel gets 3 billion per annum and Egypt 2 billion under the deal.

All of Israel's enemies, really? Iraq is all of them? Do you recall AQ and their history? Studied much about the Taliban? Is the US relationship with Saudi Arabia, convenient for Israel traditionally? Have you thought about anything you are saying?

@GerNiels Libya was not a proxy war for the US. The Europeans pushed the ouster of Ghadaffi and it was their military might that accomplished the deed, not the Americans. Yemen is a Shia, Sunni conflict primarily between Iran and Saudi Arabia. This civil war is not in US interests and we did not prompt the Iranians nor Saudis to fight there. Afghanistan was a direct American conflict because the Taliban refused to hand of Osama and his crew. Syria began because Assad over reacted to peaceful protests during the Arab Spring, which also was not started or supported by the US. A Syrian Civil war began and anti govt, terrorist groups such as ISIS and a few pro democracy militant groups fought with Assad. Obama failed to enforce his red line when Assad used barrel bombs and chemical weapons against his people and then the CIA tried to arm a few soldiers (literally a few). None of these conflicts were proxy wars for the US. Your history and analysis is severely flawed.

@GerNiels Almost none of the Syrian groups have been supplied by the US, though Arabia has been in the mix. The Arabs are not the reason for the civil war in Syria. This is a ludicrous position and a destabilized Syria, which has allowed the Russians and Iranians into the country in force, is also not in US interests, nor that of Israel. Ever think of that? The various groups that operate in Syria are fighting the govt forces. Why would they attack Israel? They are already getting destroyed as is. We have a few thousand American troops in Afghanistan. No one is patrolling or fighting over there. They are training the Afghans primarily. Our presence in Afghanistan is about stability, which is why we are still in Europe, Japan and Korea and everywhere in the world. Also, leaving Afghanistan would likely lead to the Taliban reasserting themselves and another Afghan civil war. The last one lasted 10 years and ended badly. We don't want to repeat it. The US did conduct some air strikes against the Gaddafi loyalists, using less than half a dozen aircraft and for only a few days. But primarily our contribution was supply to our Western Allies which was very limited. The US did not begin the war in Yemen or want it. Where do you get these ideas? Iran intervened there after the Saudis, so you could make a proxy war thesis using these two regional powers but not involving the US. The only US connection to the conflict is in supplying Arabia with arms, which we have done for decades and in fighting terrorism, which we do worldwide. Your assumptions are simply wrong. Afghanistan is not a failed state btw and its people are better off today than they have been since the 60s. The conflicts you speak of above were not created by the US, save Iraq and Afghanistan, which also have substantial reasoning behind them. Contrary to conspiracy theories, the US is not the primary mover of all actions in the world.

@GerNiels It is probably best that you stop responding because you don't really seem to have anything cogent to say nor know anything about the subject. I have demonstrated point by point how flawed this bigoted, ahistorical view of the world is but you prefer it to reality. This is a problem.

Totally incorrect. Read your history.
