I have always argued this question on the floor. and I did it last year. purely as an American legislator. The reason you have a right to aid Israel is the reason just expressed by my colleague from New Jersey. because of Israels strength in terms of free world security. The reason we give the 396.000 unabsorbed refugees in Israel a somewhat higher amount than we give the 600.000 to 800.000 Arab refugees is that the Israeli refugees are building strength and it costs more to do that. yes even in military terms. Almost the first thing that is done with a young refugee in Israel is that he goes into the army. When I was in Israel I spent a day with the army. and that is exactly what I saw. Israeli is the one fighting. dependable force in that whole area of the world in terms of the struggle we are fighting.
