Is a perfect storm brewing against the Israeli militarists targeting Israeli human rights orgs, Palestinians and self-consciously creating another generation of Islamic fanatics blinded by hatred?
The Lobby may soon face the reality that as powerful as it is in the American Congress, it pales in the face of a united veterans’ community, the international peace movement and the apparent determination of many of the active-service Brass. As a reader wrote a few years’ back, “Israel cannot survive half-fascist and half-humanistic.”
The US 2011 budget is now in the House Appropriations Committee, and Israel is set to receive another $3 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF). In past years, Israel has been given this money with no discussion, no conditions, and no reporting requirements. This tax-payer gift to Israel is traditionally disbursed in one payment at the beginning of the fiscal year, not in periodic increments as is done with other countries receiving aid.

Saying NO to McCarthyism in the Jewish Community - The Shministim
Ask your Representative:
Ask you Representative: Why are you disbursing more money to Israel without first determining whether past aid has been used by Israel in the Gaza attack in direct violation of the Arms Export Control Act?
Tell them: Israel’s current actions run contrary to the policies of our own government and constitute an obstacle to peace. For the sake of Palestinians and Israelis, don’t sign another unconditional blank check.
Thanks,

Why are we rewarding with almost 3 billion dollars in military aid a country that insists on building settlements and on keeping Gaza under siege, without even allowing the necessary aid to reconstruct and heal?
