The answer to the quiz in post #6.

The top 1% of tax payers (out of ~130M households) in the US accounts for ~42% of Fedral Income Tax.
So, in steady state conditions, the US funds a daily $13M to Israel military. This means those working in tech and other high paying jobs, pay $4.2/day (can you imagine?!) to fund killing of children and civilians. I would rather spend this on my daughter’s education or solving homelessness problems. I’m sure others can come up with tens of ways to spend $4.2/day.

As if this isn’t enough, Biden wants to fund Israel’s military with $14B ($38M/day), almost triple the amount.
So now you are telling me $4.2/day did not kill enough civilians, let’s pump this up to $13/day (~$5k/year)!!
I wonder what we are gaining out of this. We are losing tons of money and reputation around the world. We are igniting hate instead of planting peace. Is this a healthy relationship or is Israel’s cause damaging to the US?!

Please think and start making others around you aware. Next time you elect people, choose those who can use logic to justify our tax money.

Free Palestine – Post #6: If American Knew

If Americans Knew is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt, independent research and information-dissemination institute, with particular focus on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, U.S. foreign policy regarding the Middle East, and media coverage of this issue. Specifically, the organization’s objective is to provide information that is to a large degree missing from American press coverage of this critical region.

If Americans Knew was originally founded by an American freelance journalist, Alison Weir

In the snapshot, you see that during Fiscal Year 2022, the U.S. is providing Israel with at least $13.1 million per day in military aid and $0.73 million per day in foreign aid to the Palestinians. (For information on expenditures on behalf of both populations, go to the website)

Please check the website, it is rich in information. If you find something interesting please spread the facts.

Free Palestine – Post #6: If American Knew

Quiz: can you imagine how much every household in the US pays to Israel? Just check the latest numbers from Biden’s administration and divide by the number of households. You will be shocked of how much we pay to fund killings of civilians.

These are not my words. I realized through past days that there are many voices – although not majority – inside Israel that are calling this madness as war crime

Watch this interview:
Invading Gaza Will Be Israel’s Biggest Ever War
Crime: Haaretz Columnist Gideon Levy

“I really hope someone will stop Israel. If not, I’m really scared we are going to face a horrible catastrophe that we never faced before“

“The biggest secret of Israeli society is living in long standing denial “

Invading Gaza Will Be Israel’s Biggest Ever War Crime: Haaretz Columnist Gideon Levy

Needless to say, the action of Israel has nothing to do with most Jews in the west who are anti-Zionism. In the US there are activists societies such as “Jewish Voice for Peace”

FROM ALBERT EINSTEIN TO NOAM CHOMSKY: FAMOUS JEWS WHO HAVE OPPOSED ISRAEL

This post is about questions every free citizen of both countries should ask:
Why the bullying policies of the US and Israel are harmful to both sides? Why have not we learned that bullying does not work? Would Israel dare to do what it’s doing to Palestinians without full support of US? Is this sustainable? Are those politicians claiming the love of US and Israel really doing what is in the best interest for those countries? Do we have a collective wisdom in the population to prevent those politicians from dragging us all into hell?

Are you sincerely looking for answers or blindly following others agenda/media? If you are sincere, do yourself a favor and look into the following for answers:

1. To Israel citizens, in his interview with Israeli TV, Noam Chomsky claimed with logic and sincerity that his stance is in the favor of both. You just need an open mind and heart to listen and reflect

נועם חומסקי בריאיון מיוחד Noam Chomsky

2. To US citizens, listen to the explanation of why Israel is a sacred cow for USA?

Noam Chomsky: Why Israel is a Sacred Cow for America?

Those are short videos and to the point, but I appreciate if someone can summarize the main points and publish them if they cannot be found already through internet.

Question yourself about sincerity after educating yourself. Is your position is always about doing what is right or is there another agenda moving your value system?

Very simple! We – the educated and the professionals – have a moral responsibility of educating our colleagues and network about what I feel could lead to hate crimes in the US, endanger justice reputation, let alone giving our votes to those who spend our tax money igniting war crimes, colonization and occupation of others territories.
By following academic historians instead of getting manipulated by media, we do a favor to humanity and to next generations to help them live in peace. At least they won’t curse us and claim that we are a passive generation. We are better than that! We don’t accept war crimes!

In the resource some example of Jewish historians from elite institutions telling great stories to educate us. Please watch and learn and share.

I have an Egyptian origin so I am a bit ahead of the curve compared with my other fellow US citizens and residents in terms of knowledge about the middle east.

To give a point, I’m summarizing below what prof. Chomsky said about the history of Israel occupation to Egyptian land:
Israel used to occupy Sinai (part of Egypt) as part of their 1967 against Egypt. Egyptian politicians at the time presented peace treaty (around 1971) to get our land back. Guess what! Israel rejected. Guess what else! US backed their decision instead of pushing them towards peace. To repeat, Israeli politicians favor expansion to security.

Guess what Egyptians did! They had no choice but to go to war in 1973 October 6. I wouldn’t have cared if western media called Egyptians terrorists. You have an occupied land, you have dignity, you free it. As simple as that.
With the use of war by Egypt, Israel and US reconsidered and accepted the peace treaty and Egyptians got all their lands back.

You may wonder, has any politician learned the lesson and projected in on Palestine. You have an occupied land in Palestine and no one in power within Israel or the US politics considers to actively work on true achievements of peace. So, I wonder until when this arrogant stance will continue. Do you think those politicians are stupid? No, they are greedy.

But what feeds this greed? And why US spends this money this way?
To understand, I will leave you with couple of extremely important videos/lectures. The first one was an important lecture given by Prof Ilan Pappe 2 days ago at UC Berkeley. He is a well known historian and is from Israel himself. The other resources given by Noam Chomsky. Needless to say, these two gentlemen are both Jewish.
