May another american comment to Steve

Reader comment on item: May an American Comment on Israel?
in response to reader comment: Israel is Homeland for the Jews Regardless of Where in the World they Live!

Submitted by DA (United States), Sep 22, 2008 at 05:07

Uh Steve, as a U.S. taxpayer I think America does have a right to "meddle" into the affairs of Israel. I know for a fact that in 2005, the US. gave over 2 billion USD in aid. How long do you think that Israel would last as an independent nation without the U.S.??
