"Israel criticized Washington for a recent move to expand it's city limits" Israel: “We do not accept the legitimacy of continued expansion of New-York city” :duh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as long as Israel accepts so much aid from the U.S., they have to listen to our concerns. I left home at the age of 21 and stopped taking hand outs from my parents so I could make my own decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlines don't always give the correct impression of what is going on. Also, there's a difference between trying to influence foreign policy of another nation when their own nation is at stake in the matter, and that of another nation trying to influence how your nation runs its internal affairs.

Accepting aid from us doesn't mean we control the levers of power over another sovereign nation. Furthermore, more than half of what they get from us, is returned to us in the form of weapons sales, so our "aid" is really not what it appears to be. Israel is a sovereign nation and can do what it wants with its own land. Israel, despite what some think is not a vassal nation to the United States, whether they get foreign aid from us or not.

Did you read the article I posted? Yes. So, did you read the article in the OP? I wasn't asking as a challenge, but for understanding. I wasn't sure if you were responding to the headline or what was mentioned in the article? It wasn't about internal affairs either. I believe our relationship with Iran involves our nation being at stake. I believe we are mixing signals. Teh US gov't is bugging the Israeli on an internal affair to Israel. The Israeli gov't is bugging the US gov't on an issue that directly threatens Israel's survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
