Robert De Niro expresses his admiration for the aggressive tough guy Israeli character at the annual Presidents Conference in Jerusalem. Its always sad to see the irresponsible position taken by the people in the culture industry, encouraging aggression when what we need is dialogue and understanding. And this is not just the issue of the people in the area. The US spends $8.5 million military aid to Israel each day. And the aggressive US and Israeli foreign policies aggravate the conflicts in the Middle East and beyond resulting in 57% of our tax money going to defense budget. And according to the numbers, the profits made by the violence go straight to the rich deepening the enormous economic gap of between the powerful few and the rest of us. People like Mr. De Niro dont need our support, but the millions of displaced people, people who lost their loved ones and people who lack their basic needs because their societies are destroyed by the colonial wars do need our support. israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/23925/Default.aspx?archive=article_title
