Although the media isn’t telling Americans, a bill to give Israel a massive aid package is before Congress. The Senate, where it has 72 sponsors, is expected to vote on it this week. The bill also mandates that NASA work with Israel’s space agency, despite charges of Israeli espionage…
Please contact your Congressional representatives and tell them to vote No on the bill to give Israel $38 billion of our tax money over the next ten years/ This is the largest military aid package in U.S. history and amounts to approximately $23,000 for every Jewish Israeli family of four. Use these simple forms…
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed the legislation, allowing it to proceed to the full Senate floor. The bill also authorizes the president to establish a US-Israeli counter-drone program, expand collaboration on the peaceful exploration of space, extended loan guarantees to Israel, etc. (Rand Paul’s call to phase out aid to Israel was voted down.)
U.S. media largely ignored The Great March of Return that lasted almost two years. PBS was perhaps the most egregious example. See the Frontline film that PBS refused to show Americans. Had this film not been blocked, quite likely vastly more Americans would have seen Palestinians’ courageous attempt to use nonviolence… and perhaps the desperate October 7th breakout would not have occurred.
