Is there no end to the rape of the American taxpayer for the benefit of Israel?

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to supervise construction of a five-story underground facility for an Israel Defense Forces complex, oddly named “Site 911,” at an Israeli Air Force base near Tel Aviv.

Expected to take more than two years to build, at a cost of up to $100 million, the facility is to have classrooms on Level 1, an auditorium on Level 3, a laboratory, shock-resistant doors, protection from nonionizing radiation and very tight security. Clearances will be required for all construction workers, guards will be at the fence and barriers will separate it from the rest of the base.

Only U.S. construction firms are being allowed to bid on the contract and proposals are due Dec. 3, according to the latest Corps of Engineers notice.

Site 911 is the latest in a long history of military construction projects the United States has undertaken for the IDF under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program. The 1998 Wye River Memorandum between Israel and the Palestinian Authority has led to about $500 million in U.S. construction of military facilities for the Israelis, most of them initially in an undeveloped part of the Negev Desert. It was done to ensure there were bases to which IDF forces stationed in the West Bank could be redeployed.

The Corps offered a lengthy description of the mezuzas the contractor is to provide “for each door or opening exclusive of toilets or shower rooms” in the Site 911 building. A mezuza (also spelled mezuzah) is a parchment which has been inscribed with Hebrew verses from the Torah, placed in a case and attached to a door frame of a Jewish family’s house as a sign of faith. Some interpret Jewish law as requiring — as in this case — that a mezuza be attached to every door in a house.

These mezuzas, notes the Corps, “shall be written in inerasable ink, on . . . uncoated leather parchment” and be handwritten by a scribe “holding a written authorization according to Jewish law.” The writing may be “Ashkenazik or Sepharadik” but “not a mixture” and “must be uniform.”

Also, “The Mezuzahs shall be proof-read by a computer at an authorized institution for Mezuzah inspection, as well as manually proof-read for the form of the letters by a proof-reader authorized by the Chief Rabbinate.” The mezuza shall be supplied with an aluminum housing with holes so it can be connected to the door frame or opening. Finally, “All Mezuzahs for the facility shall be affixed by the Base’s Rabbi or his appointed representative and not by the contractor staff.”

Huh? Now what do they have up their sleeve? While we are taking down nativity scenes here we are building occult centers for Israel? They moving the kaabala in there?

I know you have this fantasy of the US bankrupting itself to fund Israel, but $3 billion in military aid works out to about $10 per person in this country. Just saying...

This may be a trend-starter. The Corps is also seeking a contractor for another secret construction project in Israel in the $100 million range to awarded next summer. This one will involve “a complex facility with site development challenges” requiring services that include “electrical, communication, mechanical/
HVAC [heating, ventilation, air conditioning] and plumbing.” The U.S. contractor must have a U.S. secret or equivalent Israeli security clearance for the project, which is expected to take almost 21 / 2 years to complete.

That sounds like a secure command center.

The purpose of Site 911 is far less clear.

Great. The War of Attrition moves into its final stages. Nuclear annihilation. The motto? If I can't have it, nobody is.

Fair enough.


And yet if it was 3 billion for illegal immigrants, you know, non-citizens, some people would be going ballistic that are strangely quit now.

You need to look at the broader picture.

There's more than one person in the U.S. Government who will tell you that Iraq was invaded to benefit Israel. How much does the bill for that work out to per person?

Israel has cost and is costing the American taxpayer too much for too long. Just saying...

Israel will never allow our state dollars to be seperated from their church.

If this is part of the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program, doesn't that mean that Israel is PAYING us to be there?

Actually our invasion of Iraq began many years earlier when Israel bombed Iraq's nuclear reactor in Osirak. The second that the first bomb falls in Iran. KNOW that Israel just committed OUR TROOPS to a ground invasion. Where Israel is concerned WE THE PEOPLE have no control over our government. Israel has effectively overthrown our sovereignty.

Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.

Sounds like a giant death ray they're building and it will wipe out the mooooooslems.

In Israel's case, the U.S. military support to Israel is a grant. The U.S. is obligated through written agreement to maintain Israel's military to be superior to all of its Arab neighbors.

Thank you Henry Kissinger.

Anything you don't blame on Israel?

Iraq was invaded to benefit the military industrial complex and the oil industry.

In the case of Lebanon 2006, Gaza 2008/2009, and Gaza 2012, the IDF/IOF/IAF are the barbarians who murder civilian women and children with a war machine supplied to them by the American taxpayers.

How soon we forget the bleating of the neocons. How would we have gotten the votes without their willing help in the press?

This is a specific program. Do you know about this specific program? Are you stating that you know for a fact that this construction project is being paid for by the US military? If so, where did you get your info?

True, they also benefited, but the primary motivation was to secure Israel.

My apology. I had read two sources.

One answer may be that the project is financed under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program, meaning our government is financing the project gratis to the Israeli taxpayer. For Israel, economy trumps self-reliance.

In Israel's case all military aid to Israel is a grant (free). Again, you can thank Henry Kissinger for that.
