] The US has offered $10bn to Israel, to bail it ] out of the worst economic crisis in its history. ] ] Israel's Finance Ministry said the package consisted of ] $1bn in direct military aid and $9bn in loan ] guarantees. What about _our_ economic crisis? ] The US will deduct from the loan guarantees any Israeli ] expenditure on settlement activities in Palestinian areas. I'd like to see something more then a deduction. Something that hurts, like loosing $200 million in aid for every new settlement. |
