The UN, a bastion only of 3rd world dictators has no legal and certainly no moral right to state what is and isn't illegal. I am shocked that with Syria on the counter terrorism commision and Libya on the human rights commission anyone takes the UN seriously now or in the past.

You are confusing Israel, the saviors of the area, with the murdering Palestinian thugs. Last time I checked, the Palestinians were blowing up diners, and shooting 7 month old babies out of their mother's arms.

Re the dollar figures--who cares, when you don't contrast them with the far larger amounts given to the Egyptians, Jordanians etc. In any case, the logistical and intelligence help, as well as the fact that 90% of the grants (not sure where loan guarantees, which are not cash transfers come into play here) have to be spent in the US, ensure that the US gets far more benefit out of this than does Israel.

Again, why do you say Israel "murders"?
