The US Congress allocates billions of dollars of military assistance to Israel without any strings attached. Our Congress prefers not to look at the terrible human toll of the assault on Gaza. That's immoral and illegal.

Palestinian and Israeli peace activists are asking us to speak out. Help us carry the message.
Please sign the action form and take just a few minutes to tell your friends and family.

Liz, there are very MANY strings attached to US Aid given to Israel. So many, that Israeli complain that US treats them as a Banana republic.

Before considering signing this letter, please consider the following:

1. US Aid of 3B is given to Israel as equipment manufactured in USA and maintaining American jobs;
2. US Aid to Egypt is the same 3B;
3. US Aid to Palestinian Arabs is 1.9B;
4. US Aid to Lebanon is 2B.

Israel cannot get help anywhere else. Arabs have oil, and everybody knows how much it cost now. They CAN share!!!

Israel is the only American ally on the Middle East, coordinating its policy with US and not celebrating or giving away candies when Americans are killed.

Why are all the others getting US tax money???
