Israel better hope for a pro Israel DEMOCRATIC US president
Because the incompetent evil fuckers in charge now are turning America (except the 22% Schiavo End Timer rePUKE base) against Israel by association.

4. Most of the money sent to Israel has strings attached
it has to be used to purchase American (mostly) military equipment.

This is true for other countries, too.

5. Absolutely true. 100% coverage costing 8.2% of their GNP
We in the U.S. pay over 14% of our GNP for medical care and nearly 50 million aren't covered at all.

Israel's high standards of health services, top-quality medical resources and research, modern hospital facilities and an impressive ratio of physicians and specialists to population are reflected in the country's low infant mortality rate (7.5 per 1,000 live births) and long life expectancy (79.1 years for women, 75.3 for men). Health care for all, from infancy to old age, is ensured by law and the national expenditure on health (8.2 percent of the GNP) compares favorably with that of other developed countries.

3. there is NOT one Democrat or repuke who runs in 2008
who will NOT support Israel, and its right to exist

The only difference is that any administration other than this one will be more engaged to push for negotiations

As far as the point that this administration is turning America against Israel by association, those that felt that way, felt it before
