Over 300 US based organizations call for an end to military aid to Apartheid Israel
Worldwide Activism, Palestinian grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, April 29th, 2008

The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation delivered a letter signed by more than 300 US based organizations calling on the House Appropriations Subcommittee to cut off military aid to Israel on account of its repeated violations of the both the Foreign Assistance Act and the Arms Export Control Act. The signatories came from 25 national organization as well as local organizations from 40 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. citizens living abroad and was delivered to the subcommittee one day prior to its hearing.

Bush’s FY2009 budget request includes $2.55 billion in military aid to Israel, a proposed 9% increase over actual spending in 2007. This is the proposed first installment of a ten-year Memorandum of Understanding to increase military aid to Israel by 25%, totalling $30 billion by FY2018.
