If financial aid is your only measure of what it means to bless, you might be mistaken in your analysis.

What else is there? Fighting wars for them (attacking Iraq) could still be construed as foreign aid it just includes American blood as well.

If our financial aid is tied by the State Department to the implementation of immoral agendas, I would hardly call that a blessing.

Precisely. Avi Abelow, who makes the short informational videos for pulseofisrael.com, expresses the frustration of patriotic Israelis at the control the U.S. exerts upon them. They would love total independence.

‘W’ Bush and company did not fight that war for Israel. It was all for their own financial gain.

As for God’s blessing on any nation today, with the exception of some African countries that seem to be practicing Godliness, I don’t know any deserving. I think there’s more of a setting up the scenario for the final drama and God is moving to cause this and that to take place.

I, myself, feel personally very blessed for my lifelong stand for Israel. My 4 children and 13 grandchildren serve the Lord. The youngest was just baptized a few weeks ago.

And a miracle 14th is due next month!

Here's one way:

"Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, played a crucial role in the recognition of Israel as a legitimate Jewish state. On May 14, 1948, just 11 minutes after Israel’s declaration of independence, Truman became the first world leader to officially recognize Israel."

And another way:

"Richard Nixon played a crucial role in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, a pivotal moment in the history of Israel. During the war, Israel was caught off guard by a surprise attack from Egypt and Syria, and was facing a dire situation. Nixon, who was the President of the United States at the time, quickly responded to the crisis by ordering a massive airlift of military equipment and supplies to Israel."
