End U.S. Military Aid to Israel!
___
The U.S. is a key enabler of Israeli militarism and the oppression of the Palestinian people. Israel is in fact the number one recipient of U.S. aid, to the tune of $3 billion each year, much of it military. This aid is used to buy the tanks, helicopters, and machine guns used in the current war.
__
Almost all U.S. politicians have provided their full backing for the Israeli government’s crimes against the Palestinian people. On Thursday, January 8, as reports came in from the Red Cross about Palestinian children starving next to their mothers’ corpses as Israel blocked ambulances and relief from getting through, and as a Vatican spokesperson referred to Gaza as a “giant concentration camp,” the U.S. Senate passed a resolution in support of Israel’s war efforts without a single word of criticism for the Israeli military.
__
The resolution blamed Hamas entirely for the war, despite the provocations of the Israeli military and the vicious blockade carried out by Israel and the U.S. The House passed a similar measure the following day by a vote of 390 to 5. Both these measures were crafted by the Democrats, who wanted to avoid being “out-hawked” by the Republicans.
__
Many so-called “antiwar” Democrats voted “present” on the resolution, cowardly refusing to vote against it. These included Reps. Barbara Lee, Lynn Woolsey, and Donna Edwards as well as the only Muslim Congressperson, Keith Ellison of Minneapolis, who was chased from a Twin Cities rally in support of Gaza after he refused to condemn Israel’s actions.
