Israel rejects Middle East nuclear talks plan

Source: BBC News

Nearly 200 nations, signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), backed plans for the meeting in 2012.

4. Is Israeli aid an entitlement?

This should be all the reason we need for our ball-less wonders in Congress to shut down our billions in perpetual entitlement aid that we pay yearly to 6 million Israelis for some odd reason. Then we can begin helping 300 million Americans with their education and lives and reducing deficits.
