on 78% of what was Palestine. Bible: God said to Abraham, "Unto thy seed, I

Pentagon and other federal agencies? There were $1.271 billion in extras in

therefore, that a similar 12.2 percent
hidden increase has prevailed over all of the years Israel has received aid.

Did you know that Israel receives its annual foreign aid appropriation
during the first month of the fiscal year, instead of in quarterly
installments as do other recipients? This enables Israel to
invest the money in U.S. Treasury notes. That means that the U.S., which has
to borrow the money it gives to Israel, pays interest on the money it has
granted to Israel in advance, while at the same time Israel is collecting
interest on the money.

billion, not adjusted for inflation?
