Hi Sol,
I was going to send an email to Steve Rothman but the Zip Code proved to be a stumbling block as I'm not in the US.
Maybe you can get this message to him? :-)

Hi,

Having just read your post "Israel Aid Pays U.S. Dividends That Exceed Cost: Steve Rothman" on Bloomberg I'd like to suggest that when considering aid to Israel, that Israel's contribution to America's wealth in the market place through companies like Intel, IBM etc., be factored in as well and stressed publicly.

It is not just in the security area, though somewhat abstract for most Americans, that well being is garnered, but also in daily life from the benefits of Israeli R&D.

What other American ally has supplied such a rich return on its investment?
The MSM unfortunately is not of much help.
Thanking you for your time,

Maybe you can also catch EV's attention? :-)

Eddie,

Just came across this following post from Joshuapundit

Obama's New Policy : All Israeli Nuclear Workers Now Refused US Visas‏

NRG/Maariv (Hebrew link only, sorry) reported today that the Israeli government was stunned when every nuclear technician at Israel's Dimona reactor who had submitted visa requests to visit the United States for ongoing university education in Physics, Chemistry and Nuclear Engineering had their visa applications summarily rejected, specifically because of their association with the Dimona reactor. ........... Here's the odd bit. Obama and his minions might believe that these sneaky, underhanded Jews are all spies, but in real life, nuclear espionage here in America has only occurred from China or from Obama's friends in the Muslim world...especially Iran and Pakistan.

This may very well be a precursor to the denying of visas to Israeli academics, at least on a de facto basis.

Eddie,

Got it sent. Thanks for the help.
Actually they should make provision for an email from outside of the States.

Cynic, I am a rock solid supporter of Israel, its continued existence in perpetuity, and as a Jewish state.
