US to Fund Israel 'Iron Dome' Project

American lawmakers have overwhelmingly backed a proposal to provide Israel with $205m (£142m) to speed up the deployment of a short-range anti-missile system.

The US House of Representatives voted 401-4 in favour of President Barack Obama's plan to fund Israel's Iron Dome project, designed to protect the country from rocket and artillery shell attacks.

Analysts said the US donation is a sign that the Obama administration wants to rekindle relations with the Israeli government; these had been severely strained by Israel's announcement in March that it would build hundreds of new Jewish homes in Arab-dominated East Jerusalem, which was captured by Israel in 1967 and later annexed.

"The Obama administration has been trying hard to change the atmospherics," said Jonathan Spyer, senior researcher at the Centre for Global Research in International Affairs in Herzliya. "It didn't help their cause to be perceived as humiliating the Israeli government."

Israel ordered the Iron Dome project three years ago after its 2006 war with Lebanon, during which thousands of rockets landed in Israeli territory. Some 1,200 Lebanese, mostly civilians, were killed in the conflict, as were 160 Israelis.

"Atmospherics?" Who the f*ck is Jonathan Spyer and what the hell is the Centre for Global Research in International Affairs.

Jonathan Spyer is mid-level, yuppie scum and he works for fascist, NWO front group that hocks foreign policy advice to puppet governments in order to scam them into wars, make money for the military industrial complex, sink them into debt and eventually get taken over by the Illuminati banking cartel, also known as the New World Order.

Our tax dollars at work.

    • Muslims at the salute to israel parade.

      Annihilationists. Notice how this is becoming more common. More mainstream. Jihad and Islamic anti-semitism and kuffarphobia should relegated to the very fringes of society, as the KKK was in the early twentieth century, instead of the tacit approval being given to these barbarians and savages with silence and apology. This is the road to hell. We must change the culture, and fast.
