Having lived in the US for nearly 50 years, nothing upsets me more than when I hear some Americans say that Israel is our ally and shares our values. I find this as pure poppycock because Israel is a liability and not an asset to the US. There is only one thing America and Israel don't have in common. Israelis get free national healthcare and free education subsidized by U.S. tax payers in the amount of $4.5 BILLIONS/year, while 40,000 of our veterans are homeless and 45,000 Americans die yearly from lack of access to health care, because they can't afford it.
