“US aid to Israel should stop”

I read the above letter with immense interest written by Ted Rudow on March 25. He condemned US aid to Israel considering the latter's role in the destruction of Palestine. There is no doubt that the financial as well as military aid of US helps Israel in restricting Palestine from forming an independent country.

Jews have an immense influence in the American economic, cultural, intellectual and political spheres. They played a central role in the American financial system during the 1980s, and they were among the chief beneficiaries of that decade's corporate mergers and reorganisations. Today, though barely 2% of the nation's population is Jewish, close to half its billionaires are Jews. The world media is also controlled by Israel. In the education and political sectors of US, the dominance of Jews is also evident. I wonder, will the US ever stop funding Israel?
