Israel is asking Washington for $2.2bn in additional aid to help fund its withdrawal from the Gaza Strip and four small West Bank settlements.
Israeli officials say most of the money will be used to pay for developing the Negev and Galilee regions - where the bulk of the settlers will be moved.
One third of the sum, officials say, will go towards the relocation of Israeli military bases.
Despite being generally evil, isn't Israel also a first world country. With a GDP per capita of $20.8K (the US has a GDP per capita of $40K) don't you think they could fund their military police state on their own?
