A question that wasn't asked during the presidential debate in America.

Why does the US continue to support Israel when it costs its taxpayers so much to do so? The support for the Zionist state is huge, not just the 3 billion dollars or so that is commonly believed it receives every year. The total cost of supporting Israel is actually some six times that figure, according to well informed sources.

Of course such a question would never have been allowed, given that the Jews exercise such a stranglehold over America's foreign policy. 

Supporting Israel also means the Americans are complicit in the crimes commited by the Zionists against the Palestinians. 

It is to be hoped that the Arab Spring reaches the corrupt shores of states like Saudi Arabia. That would be the beginning of the end of American influence in the region and the final death knell of the occupiers of Palestine.
