AMERICAN CITIZEN ALERT! How Much Military Aid to Israel Do YOU Provide?


Between 2009-2018, the United States is scheduled to give Israel--the largest recipient of U.S. aid--$30 billion in military aid. Through its illegal 42-year military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip, Israel misuses U.S. weapons in violation of U.S. law to kill and injure Palestinian civilians, destroy Palestinian civilian infrastructure, blockade the Gaza Strip, and build illegal settlements in West Bank and East Jerusalem.

How much of this total will your community provide?  Is this a good use of your tax dollars? What else could your taxes be used for in your community? Find out on the interactive map found here.

  3. Islamicly we are told to obey the laws of the land so not paying taxes is not an option. Maybe speaking to legislators and all may make a difference. In the end yes the government does give aid to Israel as the U.S. plans to give $30 billion over a period of 10 years. but they also give financial aid to other countries like Egypt (1.7 billion in 2009 of that 1.3 billion to buy weapons) Pakistan, Turkey, Jordan etc.
