Saw that this morning. I hadn't seen a lot of it and found it hilarious. I put it up on a US forum and it looks as though a lot of Americans hadn't heard either...

New US Law Obliges Americans to Pay Unlimited Billions to Israel http://www.investmentwatchblog.com/n...ons-to-israel/ -

The bill now will go back to the Senate for approval, and then to Trump to be signed into U.S. law. - Watch this space.

Will the Senate and Trump sign? -

- In a heartbeat uncontested.
