Just a Little Side Deal

I really haven't been up on the news so much lately but I needed to share this little gem. I have been seeing this conflict between the US and Israel because Israel is bulldozing Palestinians houses in Jerusalem (whats new?) to build houses for Israels and America actually said, "hey were not so down with that actually". Its kind of cooled the relationship a little bit. I guess its not enough though. The faithful Amy Goodman posted a little new clip that the US has agreed to give Israel a couple military aircrafts from Lockheed costing a small $250 million. This isn't the end of it though. There are also talks of an agreement to give Israel $3 billion more for military aircrafts.
$3.25 billion? A lot more could be done with that money other than continually arming Israel to the teeth. I don't know if its just me but this kind of stuff really bums me out. It also sucks that very few people know about it. Unless you have your ear to the ground or check un or less censored news, this information just doesn't come up. America's mass weapon sales is really a dirty filthy secret. Did you know that America has sold $154 billion over the last 6 years. Thats a lot of things to kill people.
