Should Greece continue to support Israel?
The U.S. currently gives $38 billion to Israel every year in foreign aid assistance. Most of the aid is used by Israel to buy American military hardware, such as jets and components for missile defense. $38 billion is 50% of the United States’ foreign aid budget for 2017. Opponents argue that the aid given to Israel is unnecessary since the country provides free healthcare and college tuition to its citizens. Proponents argue that the aid is necessary to promote democracy in the Middle East and maintain a balance of power with other countries in the region.

The US regime supports a Palestinian state. Just not now. And not until it allows the US - the primary sponsor of the Israeli occupation - to midwife a “state” with no military, in which Israel controls its borders, airspace, maritime territory, and political leadership. In other words, not until Palestine…
