Ahhhh ... you need either better reading glasses or a better math teacher.
That number - $17,744.90 - is in millions of dollars (according to your listed website). So the real number that the Obama Administration has given Israel is $17,477,900,000.00 (plus or minus a million bucks or two).
And for all the money ($120,472,000,000 total) that the US has given to Israel since 1949, we've been:
- Attacked by Israel with US servicemen killed and wounded (USS Liberty)
- Rebuffed at all attempts to settle the Middle-East situation fairly
- Had our weapons systems technology copied and sold in competition to US manufacturers (loss of US jobs)
How much more do you think we should take? Maybe we'd be better off if we wrote-off the $17,744.90 and asked for a refund on the rest.
