6-16-2014 Dining at the Jerusalem Consulate: The Back Story | TimesWarp

In her story, Rudoren takes up the issue of just what U.S. aid does in

the occupied Palestinian territories, but she fails to examine why the

Palestinian economy needs life support. She also stops short of asking a

related question: Just what does Washington buy for the Israelis?



This is a subject the Times would rather not address. Readers might

object if they knew that more than $8 million a day in U.S. taxpayer

money goes to Israel, all of it for military aid, with no strings

attached. Place this alongside the aid to Palestine, and the lopsided

nature of the relationship becomes stark. The daily ration of military

aid for Palestinians is precisely $0.
