Wake up America! Billions for Jewish racist occupation destroying America's sense of justice and morality.
"All of this, Israel tells its citizens and the international
community, is for "Israeli security." The reality, not
surprisingly, is that these policies have resulted in a drastic
increase in attacks on Israel. These attacks are then used as a
pretext for further Israeli incursions into Palestinian areas and
more violations of Palestinian human rights which makes Israeli
civilians more secure; all of which further entrenches Israel¹s
colonial apartheid regime. Most Americans do not realize the extent
to which this is all funded by U.S. aid, nor do they understand the
specific
economic relationship the U.S. has with Israel and how that differs
from other countries.
There are at least three ways in which aid to Israel is different
from that of any other country. First, since 1982, U.S. aid to
Israel has been transferred in one lump sum at the beginning of each
fiscal year, which immediately begins to collect interest in U.S.
banks. Aid that goes to other countries is disbursed throughout the
year in quarterly installments.
Second, Israel is not required to account for specific purchases.
Most countries receive aid for very specific purposes and must
account for how it is spent. Israel is allowed to place US aid into
its general fund, effectively eliminating any distinctions between
types of aid. Therefore,
U.S. tax-payers are helping to fund an illegal occupation, the
expansion of colonial-settlement projects, and gross human rights
violations against the Palestinian civilian population. " |
