I think Times Union readers should know what one of the chief rabbis of Israel in 2010 stated about American taxpayers who are subsidizing his country.
Ovadia Yosef said: "With gentiles, it will be like any person — they need to die, but God will give them longevity. Why? Imagine that one's donkey would die, they'd lose their money. That's why the gentile gets a long life, to work well for this Jew. Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat. That is why gentiles were created, only to serve Israel."
Once Obama touched down in Israel, he was surely accosted for more aid and assurances that Americans will be sent into battle to die fighting against Iran if Israel attacks.
