Op-Ed: Why does U.S. send military aid to Israel?

Why does U.S. send military aid to Israel?

June 02, 2010 2:00 AM

What sad news today that Israeli commandos attacked a flotilla trying to come to the aid of the impoverished Palestinians.

“We are coming upon the 43rd anniversary of the bombing of the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967. The American flag was proudly flying on that fateful day.”

It appears to me that Israel seems to have immunity to attack at will. Congress just passed a bill to give Israel another $206 million in military aid, this in addition to the $3 billion that we give annually.

My question is why?

Please write President Obama, your representatives and senators and demand accountability. It is our taxpayer dollars that are killing innocent people.
