Better use for money

Daniel, i hope you would not be surprised to see me come out in favour of phasing out foreign aid, and all ways that distort trade, so that we have a better display of capitalism - than what is currently the case.

Plus, when you take a look at aid from the US, that is directed to Israel, how many strings are attached to it, so that the only recipients are American companies.

The power of ideas, and of what Martin Buber wrote - they have more currency than throwing money around.

Are we agreed on this?

Thank you.
