Israel is going down, for sure

"'Baroness Jenny Tonge, a Liberal Democrat peer, has resigned from her position as the party whip after refusing to back down on comments criticizing Israel, according to U.K. media.  “Beware Israel: Israel is not going to be there forever in its present performance. One day the United States of America will get sick of giving £70 billion [$109 billion] a year to Israel,” she said, addressing a group of students at Middlesex University in London last Thursday.  Israel receives approximately $3 billion annually in grants from the U.S.   Tonge criticized the relationship between the United States and the Jewish state, describing Israel as “America’s aircraft carrier in the Middle East,” adding that there would come a day when the people in the United States would say “enough is enough.”  “It will not go on forever, it will not go on forever and Israel will lose its support, then they will reap what they have sown,” Tonge, who has previously been sacked from the party for remarks similar on the Jewish state, said.""
