Why not Israel? The one nation in which muslims have more political and economic freedom than any other in the Middle East, even Turkey. Unlike african states, Israel has accounted quite well for the aid they have been given.

Aid to Israel is difficult to quantify, with lots of half-tuths and mis-information available. FAS is one of the most reliable sites for such info:

The question is, is it worth it? The answer is individual. Can you put a price tag on a human life? On human freedom?

I for one, in my own view, believe that we, the world, do owe Israel a home where they can be safe. And I, for one, am very disappointed at the opposition Israel receives from European nations. Anti-semitism has increased in Europe and is indeed troubleing when combined with a growing muslin fundamentalism.
