The untold story of American aid to Israel
Dec 29,2020 - Last updated at Dec 29,2020
On December 21, the United States Congress passed the COVID-19 Relief Package, as part of a larger $2.3 trillion bill meant to cover spending for the rest of the fiscal year. As usual, US representatives allocated a massive sum of money for Israel.
While unemployment, thus poverty, in the US is skyrocketing as a result of repeated lockdowns, the US found it essential to provide Israel with $3.3 billion in “security assistance” and $500 million for US-Israel missile defence cooperation.
Although a meager $600 dollar payment to help struggling American families was the subject of several months of intense debate, there was little discussion among American politicians over the large funds handed out to Israel, for which there are no returns.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley needs some serious medicine. Really. Michael Wolf, author of
Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, says that Hailey is “as ambitious as Lucifer.”[1] Perhaps Wolf has a point, and here’s why.
First of all, Haley seems to be not only a political whore but a literal part-time whore. Lobbyist Larry Marchant claimed to have had a sexual relation with Hailey. He said back in 2017:
“I had an inappropriate physical relationship with Nikki Haley. We had gone to dinner, I had some drinks, and things happened and that was it. It was one time and one time only… I spent the night with Ms. Haley and we had sexual relations, we had sex. I know in my heart what happened, and she’s knows in her heart what happened.”[2]
