US PAYS ITS ENEMIES HANDSOMELY: Critics of Israel often point out how much US money goes to its ally Israel. Pundita, on the other hand notes how often Arab countries vote against the US in the UN and how much US aid they get.

Note: Pundita is quoting from a post from Riehl World View in 2005, which apparently is not archived. It turns out that the information made the rounds on the Internet in 2003. If you are interested in this, check out Snopes, who verifies that this is not an Urban Legend. He goes over the information and comes up with numbers that are even worse.

He also finds that US allies don't vote along with the US consistently--with the exception of one country.

No, it's not France.
