At a time when millions of people in the U.S. are being turned out of their homes due to foreclosures, why are we giving Israel $30 billion of tax-payer money to destroy Palestinian homes?
During its December 2008-January 2009 war on the occupied Gaza Strip, Israel killed more than 1,400 Palestinians, injured more than 5,000, and destroyed 4,000 buildings causing an estimated $2 billion in damage to civilian infrastructure. Meanwhile, Israel maintains its illegal blockade of the Gaza Strip, denying 1.5 million civilians their right to food, clean water, electricity, and other necessities of life.
The United States is scheduled to provide Israel with $30 billion of weapons at taxpayer expense over the coming decade, or approximately $192 for each individual taxpayer. Do you want your taxes spent on human rights abuses? Tell President Obama, “Yes We Can...End Military Aid to Israel!”
