Last year Congress gave Israel $23 billion, which works out to $63 million per day. More of our tax dollars have been sent to Israel, the size of New Jersey, than to any other country on Earth.
This despite the fact that in the past two years alone, Israeli forces have killed, maimed, and intentionally starved hundreds of thousands of children and made two million people homeless. Most experts term its actions genocide.
And the money flows to Israel even though Americans have said for years that we give Israel too much money, even after Israel perpetrated a lethal attack on a U.S. Navy ship, and at a time when many American families, cities, military veterans, and seniors are struggling to make ends meet.
It's time to tell our elected officials to stop sending our tax money to Israel!
I will only vote for candidates who pledge to
oppose sending my tax money to Israel.
