Obama really hearts Israeli occupation
"At a time of financial crisis in the United States in which thousands of  Americans have lost their jobs and homes, an Israeli news service reports that  President Obama has just signed a presidential memo eliminating  a tariff on Israel that protected American dairy farmers and that raised money  for the American economy.  In addition, according to the Israeli report, US trade authorities have  ordered the return of $17,000 to an Israeli export agent for a levy paid for  butter produced by an Israeli company. The move comes at a time when American  dairy farmers have been facing what industry representatives call a “crisis.”  According to the National Milk Producers Federation website, “U.S. dairy  producers have been facing unprecedented losses over the past year due to low  milk prices and high input costs. The dire economic straits have forced many  dairy farmers to exit the industry, oftentimes having to sell their herds or  farms.”" (thanks Suad)
