Israel receives $3.8 billion in U.S. military aid every year, making it the largest recipient of U.S. foreign assistance. U.S. laws, such as the “Leahy Law,” the Arms Export Control Act, and the Foreign Assistance Act, are supposed to prevent U.S. weapons from being used by other countries to commit human rights violations.Countries that violate these laws are subject to penalties, including a cut-off of additional weapons. Furthermore, the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem flies in the face of diplomacy and creates a massive roadblock on a path to peace. It is outrageous that our government continues to uphold and further such actions. Israel must be held accountable for its actions!
