US Taxpayer dollars are funding military aid to Israel - the largest US Foreign Aid recipient.
Please consider adding your name to the petition from American Friends Service Committee.
No military aid to Israel
The U.S. is considering giving Israel $45 billion in new military aid over the next 10 years.
That $45 billion will purchase weapons and resources that will help Israel enforce the occupation, keep Gaza under blockade, and continue violating Palestinians’ human rights.
These weapons will also encourage regional arms races which sustain regional conflicts and instability.
Sign our petition to say no to military aid for Israel.
Dear President Obama,
We, the undersigned, urge you to oppose plans for continuing and expanding U.S. military aid to Israel.
Successful negotiations to limit nuclear proliferation in the Middle East should not be used to justify increased conventional weapons proliferation.
The proposed transfer of new advanced weaponry and a new 10-year deal to provide Israel with up to $45 billion in military aid at U.S. taxpayer expense - and without accountability for human rights violations - will deepen U.S. complicity in Israel’s human rights abuses of Palestinians.
It will also fuel ongoing regional arms races, furthering regional instability and sustaining ongoing conflicts.
It’s time for the U.S. to stop giving Israel a blank check for more weapons, without any accountability for human rights violations or an end to the occupation.
We ask that you reject calls for increases in U.S. military aid to Israel and stop giving military aid to Israel altogether.
