Reader, link: "If Americans Knew: The Staggering Cost
of Israel to Americans"

(Thanks, N. :) Reader N. sends us the link to an article at InformationClearingHouse.info. Here's an excerpt:
In all, direct US disbursements to Israel amount to
approximately 10% of all U.S. aid abroad, even though Israelis only make up
0.001% of the world's population. In other words, on average, Israelis
receive 10,000 times more US foreign aid per capita than other people
throughout the world, despite the fact that Israel is one of the world's more
affluent nations.[12] And that number rises significantly when one considers
disbursements to Egypt, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority and Defense
spending on behalf of Israel.
