Bush Proposal to Give Israel $30 Billion More in Military Faces Opposition

HeadlineAug 08, 2007

The U.S. Campaign to End the Occupation is publicly opposing the Bush administration’s plan to give Israel $30 billion in additional military aid over the next decade. This package represents a 25 percent increase over the current U.S. annual military aid to Israel. Israel is already the largest recipient of U.S. military aid. The activist group is urging Congress to reject the proposal and to cut off military aid for Israel’s violation of the U.S. Arms Export Control Act and U.S. Foreign Assistance Acts. A recent State Department report found that Israel may have violated the U.S. Arms Export Control Act by indiscriminately dropping cluster bombs in civilian areas in Lebanon during last year’s war.
