PressTV... US senators are quietly paving the way for a military aid to Israel that exceeds $3.8 billion.
The number would amount to $23,000 per year for every family in Israel, according to a Friday report by Minnesota-based news website MintPress News, released amid a media blackout.
American senators passed a bill titled the “United States-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018,” on Wednesday, paving the way for its likely approval by the US House of Representatives within the week. PressTV-Palestinian icon Ahed Tamimi recounts ordeal to Press TV A female Palestinian teenager, who endured an eight-month prison sentence for slapping Israeli security forces, has detailed her ordeal in an exclusive interview with Press TV.
The amount is a result of a memorandum of understanding on security assistance between Washington and Tel Aviv.
The funding involves an additional $550 million aid for Israeli missile systems and $1 billion for US weapons stockpiles in Israel.
US military aid to Israel has skyrocketed over the past several years while the regime’s forces are engaged in blatant human rights violations against Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere.
Hailed as a “great friend to the Jewish people” by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump has boosted ties with Israel. PressTV-Israel forces kill one, injure 120 Palestinians in Gaza Over 157 Palestinians are killed and some 15,000 others injured since the outbreak of the protests on March 30.
The US president finally broke with decades of US policy by announcing that the embassy in Israel would be relocated from Tel Aviv to the holy city of Jerusalem al-Quds.
Trump made the move despite foreign leaders’ warnings that it could stoke further tensions in the region.
The Israeli regime, meanwhile, continues its atrocities and expansionist policies in the region.

Smiley... I'm sure the average US taxpayer, will be delighted to know their hard earned dollars are going to the Military Industrial Complex to support Israel Militarism, and expansion policies. After all it is not that Israel is a modern state, equipped with an Israel Defense Force that has modern weaponry, including F35 jets, Patriot Missiles, and Nuclear weapons, is it? Far better to give it to Israel, than the Palestinians in Gaza. Who are only starving, being deprived of every civilized amenity, including clean water, and sanitation, having their farms, land, homes, and future taken from them by Israel- why would they need the money! Nor is it that the poor, sick, and homeless, of America need that money- NO! Give it to the ARMS INDUSTRY, and ISRAEL. Americas values in a nutshell.
Saverio Sciacca... ...and that ain't all... AIPAC & the US Congress. dream up scams over & above the 3B annually, send the funds on to Israel, where a portion returns to pay the Reps & their pol. parties off. The Persian Saracens went straight to their enemy's throats, the Zios go straight to the pockets of our political leaders. So much Menschkeit (Empathy), they don't kill 'em, they buy 'em off with their own citizen's funds. Nero played de lyre, my dumpy Trumpy plays de tweet & the burning goes on.
