På israeliska UDs hemsida kan man se en video från i torsdags när Israel och USA skrev under en Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) som går ut på att USA lovar 30 miljarder dollar under de närmaste tio åren till israeliska militären, IDF – en höjning av USAs militära bistånd till Israel med 25%. En osmaklig tillställning. Efter att de båda länderna öst lovord över varandra följer en presskonferens. Här
Det exakta innehållet i överenskommelsen är ännu inte känd, enligt US Campaign to End the Occupation. Så här skriver de med anledning av överenskommelsen:
Yesterday, the United States and Israel signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for $30 billion in U.S. military aid to over the next ten years.The agreement represents a 25% increase over the current annual military aid appropriation to Israel of $2.4 billion. Israel is already the largest recipient of military aid before the proposed increase.
A call this morning to the State Department by the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation confirmed that the text of the MOU has not yet been made public. However, the military aid package is reported to include a new generation of F-35 fighter jets, advanced bombs, and laser-guided missiles.Although the MOU has been signed, Congress still needs to make annual appropriations of military aid to Israel to give the MOU effect.
Therefore, there is still time to contact your Members of Congress to oppose this increase in military aid to Israel. Since news surfaced of this increased military aid package, nearly 2,000 people have sent almost 8,000 letters to Members of Congress and the Bush Administration opposing it. Join them today and take action.
The US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation opposes this proposed increase in military aid to Israel. Instead of increasing military aid to Israelthe US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation calls on the Bush Administration and Congress to sanction by cutting off military aid to it for its continued violations of the U.S. Arms Export Control Act and U.S. Foreign Assistance Acts.
Suck! Vet inte mer vad jag skall säga. Alla analyser känns överflödiga.
