Aid for Israel would be better spent here

Did you know the U.S. gives about $7 million dollars a day to Israel? And how are those hard-earned tax dollars used? To provide Israel with U.S. weapons.

Israel will then misuse these weapons in violation of U.S. and international law to colonize Palestinian land, maintain its illegal military occupation of Palestine territory and commit human rights abuses against Palestinians.

To help Israel construct an illegal wall which meanders through and around Palestinian villages, cutting the people off from family, work, school, and their own land (preventing them from planting, cultivating and harvesting crops which they need to survive).

In this economy, could we not better use that money for help within our own country?
