Claudius On that note, I was at a Massive Attack gig on Sunday night. One of the features of their live show for the last 20 years is to give you information you wouldn't necessarily get from the mainstream media (who are too busy telling you about Katie Price latest indiscretion, or whatever).
During Safe From Harm they flashed up a stat -a $ figure of US aid to Israel since 1948. I think it got to something like 90 million and the figure became so overwhelming it was hard to keep track of so I looked away for a second or two. I went back to it seconds later and it kept running and running and running... I couldn't even comprehend what the the total was by the time the counter stopped but, having had a look online, it's around 318 billion dollars.
That's an insane amount of money given to a a country who have been terrorising Palestinians for, well, forever now.
