Stop giving billions to Israel

The prime minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, came to the White House to meet with President Barack Obama to ask for 45 billion more of our U.S. tax dollars. Right now, our government gives Israel over 10 million dollars a day to gas, incarcerate, wound, and kill Palestinian children. The Israeli Army, the IDF, is a terrorist organization in deed and spirit to the children of Palestine in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.

The Greek government is in need of $16 billion to stay afloat. May I suggest that the president and the U.S. Congress stop funding the state of Israel, which is killing children, and instead give the $45 billion to Greece and the other countries who are saving refugee children’s lives? Most Americans are devastated when children die anywhere in the world, and I don’t think most Americans know that our tax dollars were used in killing over 500 Palestinian children in July/August of 2014, in Israel’s Operation Protective Edge. I don’t want my tax money supporting the state of Israel’s “right to exist” while it terrorizes and kills Palestinian children. Period.

The law is not the private property of lawyers, nor is justice the exclusive province of judges and juries.
In the final analysis, true justice is not a matter of courts and law books, but of a commitment in each of us to liberty and mutual respect.
--Jimmy Carter quotes (American 39th US President (1977-81). Nobel Prize for Peace in 2002. b.1924)
