STOP SENDING AID TO ISRAEL

Created by T.A. on October 16, 2016

According to Jewish Virtual Library.org, the U.S. government gave $3 billion worth of aid to Israel's military, economy, refugee resettlement, and ASHA fund in 2016. However, according to procon.org, only $408 million was given to help Palestine in 2014. Since 1949, the U.S. has given $121 billion worth of aid to Israel.

This aid given to Israel is being used for nothing more than to commit acts of violence against another state. Why is more money given to Israel than countries like South Africa and Haiti where poverty rates are two times worse? Just last month, President Obama signed a deal to give a decade's worth of aid totaling to $38 billion. This puts Israel at number one on the top-10 aid recipients list. Tell President Obama that his new aid deal to Israel is ridiculous.
