US aid to Israel... climbs!
http://mondoweiss.net/2013/06/committee-another-billion.html

 

The House Armed Services Committee has voted to give Israel

another half a billion dollars in military aid– on top of the

$3.1 billion we already give Israel. It’s for missile interception

 systems.

It is astounding that tens of millions of Americans are going

hungry because the same amount of money being cut from

 their social welfare is U.S. taxpayer money sent to bankroll

Israel’s Crimes against Humanity in Palestine.

 

Some 47 million poor Americans – one in four children –

see their already meager federal food allowances slashed

 this week.

The cuts amount to $4 billion a year over the next decade.

 

That $4 billion figure should ring a bell. It is equivalent to the

official annual subvention that the US government sends to

Israel – courtesy of the American taxpayer.

 

This week that $4 billion annual donation to the regime in

Tel Aviv was on display with the following items: Israeli tanks,

warplanes and troops carried out deadly raids on occupied

Palestinian territories, resulting in at least nine deaths and

dozens of wounded; dozens of Palestinians continued to be

kidnapped (“arrested”) from their homes and streets by

Israeli troops; also the dominant Likud party of Benjamin

 Netanyahu announced that illegal settlements in the West

Bank and East Al Quds “will be intensified” with plans to

build an additional 5,000 housing units.

 

The accelerated construction on Palestinian land is in blatant

contravention of international law.

 

In other words, this week, as in every other week, the war

crimes that the US-backed Israeli regime has been

committing since at least 1967 continued apace. This in

 the same week that millions of Americans are on notice

that they are being put on starvation rations because their

government would rather send $4 billion to a genocidal

regime than pay for basic human nutrition.

 

...These crimes are subsidized and enabled by money

 that would otherwise feed hungry Americans. People will

die this year in the US simply from poverty and the lack of

food. These American deaths will be for the same reason

that Palestinians will die from poverty and hunger.

 

The correct choice is revealingly simple. Stop funding

genocide in the Middle East and start feeding Americans.
