House committee endorses extra $500 million aid to Israel

Good thing the House cut the food stamp budget to the poor so some of that money could go to Israel.

Press TV

The US House of Representatives Armed Services Committee has proposed a nearly half a billion dollar increase in military aid to Israel even as the United States is struggling with domestic economic issues.  

The committee approved $488 million last week to fund Israel’s development of two missile systems and to finance the purchase of extra batteries for 2014.

The proposal must now be approved by the House Appropriations Committee and then submitted to the Senate.

The proposed aid is in addition to the $3.1 billion in military assistance that Washington provides to the Zionist regime annually.

US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel promised that the current aid would not be reduced even while significant cuts are being made to the US defense budget.

This comes as the US government has recently cut $5 billion dollars from the food assistance program, forcing nearly 48 million Americans to cut back on their food purchases.

The US government is pressured to serve Israel’s interests due to the influence of the powerful Zionist lobby in the United States. The pro-Israel pressure groups actively work to steer US foreign policy in favor of Israel.
