WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE ............

How they vote in the United Nations.

Below are the actual voting records of various Arabic/Islamic States which are recorded in both the US State Department and United Nations records:

Kuwait votes against the United States 86% of the time.

Qatar votes against the United States 88% of the time.

Morocco votes against the United States 89% of the time.

United Arab Emirates votes against the United States 88% of the time.

Jordan votes against the United States 88% of the time.

Tunisia votes against the United States 89% of the time.

Saudi Arabia votes against the United States 90% of the time.

Yemen votes against the United States 88% of the time.

Algeria votes against the United States 88% of the time.

Oman votes against the United States 88% of the time.

Sudan votes against the United States 86% of the time.

Pakistan votes against the United States 87% of the time.

Libya votes against the United States 89% of the time.

Egypt votes against the United States 86% of the time.

Lebanon votes against the United States 90% of the time.

Syria votes against the United States 89% of the time.

Mauritania votes against the United States 90% of the time.


US Foreign Aid to states whose people hate us:

Egypt, for example, after voting 86% of the time against the United States, still receives $2 billion annually in US Foreign Aid.

Jordan votes 88% against the United States and receives $192,814,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

Pakistan votes 87% against the United States and receives $300,000,000 annually in US Foreign Aid.

And you've been led to believe that Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt and Pakistan are our friends. Disgusting isn't it? Of course, there are always those who believe that the people in those states will come to love us if we would just end our support of Israel.

In fairness, it must also be noted that among our closest allies, Australia voted against us 44% of the time, Canada 51% of the time and the United Kingdom 40% of the time.
