How Will Israel Pay For The Lebanese Slaughter? America's Cranston Amendment ?

Hear that ? Of course you can't. It's the quiet sound of Israel opening up the doors of America's treasury. The key is called the 1983 " Cranston Amendment".

Israel latest challenge is plugging the $ 2 billion hole in it's budget. The extraordinary costs were incurred by Israel's slaughter of mostly Lebanese civilians and the barbaric bombing of Lebanons infrastructure.. Well over a 1000 innocents were killed. American -made weapons were the enabling devices. This included hundreds of thousands of cluster bombs. These are bombs that contain an additional 644 bomblets.Many of these bombs still lie unexploded in large parts of Lebanon waiting to explode when some unsuspecting creature disturbs them.

But Israel doesn't scruple about that kind of evil. When one is "chosen" then one can do anything. But they are concerned about how Israel will pay for the $ 2 billion budget gap. What they will probably do is turn to America's " Cranston Amendment". This will allow Israel to borrow money with the U.S. as the actual underwriter. The alchemy of this bill provides that any repayment of indebtedness of Israel to the U.S. on a yearly basis should be offset by an amount of aid to Israel from America that equals or exceeds those repayments. In effect Israel has a blank check from the U.S.. Every "loan" ends up becoming a grant.

Such a deal. Aside from the death of 100 or so Israeli soldiers, Israel doesn't suffer the full burden of it's criminal behavior. They are absolved of the finacial burden by America's complicity.That's why their rogue behavior has only gotten worse over the years. America should revoke the Cranston Amendment and stop funding the gangster behavior of some of Israel's criminal class.
