Chart for the Day

As Benjamin Netanyahu goes to Congress to lay out his "vision" for peace, we ought to keep this chart in mind.  Since we have a severe budget deficit, we need to look for cuts wherever we can.  I would think that aid to wealthy countries could be cut back, especially if we weren't getting any help in return for said aid.

Keep in mind, Israel has every right to exist, but so do the Palestinians.  Gradually taking land from the Palestinians won't make them go away.  A democratic country run by a minority population which won't grant voting rights to the majority isn't a democratic country, and if Israel continues to occupy the West Bank, the Jewish population will eventually be a minority.  Reasonable Israelis acknowledge that.  Benjamin Netanyahu should also, and soon.
