\"In the spirit of Yom Kippur, the United States will not hold Israel to any agreements obligating them to accept Dollars as payment for their foreigh aid. We will translate our obligations into Euros or whatever currency that best fits Israel's needs\" Secretary RIce said in the Friday, Sept 21 announcement.

\"We need to place our Israeli obligations at the top of our national prioriy list. Israel should not suffer any inconvenience due to currency fluctuations\" said Rice before heading off to Camp David.

A similar request from Egypt was declined last week.

FYI - the Euro is now worth about 1.4 US Dollars.

It exposes Government sponsored terrorism, False Flag Operations, the Pro-War Zionist Media and The New World Order. \r\n\r\nThroughout history, criminal elements inside governments have carried out terror attacks and psychological operations (psy-ops) against their own populations as a pretext to enslave them. TerrorStorm reveals how, in the last hundred years, Western leaders have repeatedly murdered their own citizens while posing as their saviors.\r\n\r\nThis powerful documentary explores the mindset of the average brainwashed Westerner. It delves deeply into the systems of control which have been scientifically-crafted to imprison their minds and keep their eyes closed to the realities of the world around them.\r\n\r\nAlex Jones has agreed to let everyone see \u201cTerror Storm\u201d under not for profit and for educational purposes free of charge.
