The United States gives more military aid to Israel than to any other country. The Coalition to Stop $30 Billion to Israel believes that it is more in the national interests of the United States to spend this money on domestic investments than on weapons for the Israeli military. There is no net strategic advantage to the U.S. in sending weapons to Israel that outweighs the value of spending the same amount of money on improvements at home. We urge Congress to end military aid to Israel and spend that money at home on job creation, infrastructure, education, healthcare, the environment and other domestic needs that are getting short-changed.
