It’s time
to stop $8 million/day of U.S.
taxes going to support Israel’s
occupation and warmongering.
It’s time
for Congress to say NO to the Israel Lobby.
It’s
time to expose AIPAC.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), part
of the Israel lobby, has created an atmosphere of coercion and intimidation in
our country’s political system that works for an agenda of endless war,
Israeli occupation, apartheid, rampant Anti-Arab racism and Islamophobia.
◊ AIPAC is currently drumming up American support for an attack on Iran, which would cause untold suffering in that country at the cost of billions of US dollars with no conceivable benefit for U.S. citizens.
◊ AIPAC consistently lobbies on behalf of Israel’s occupation of Palestinian lands,
facilitating the transfer of more than $3 billion in U.S. taxes a year ($8 million per day) in military aid to Israel and ensuring the diplomatic protection that allows Israel to maintain its illegal settlements and apartheid wall, hold Gaza under siege and engage in numerous
other brutal methods of collective punishment deemed illegal under international law.
◊ The Israel Lobby’s promotion of Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism have created an atmosphere in which billions of American dollars can be used to launch wars in the Middle
East and to enforce a system of apartheid in the occupied Palestinian territories without
Americans realizing the true human cost of American support for war and aggression.
◊ It’s time to defy AIPAC and
demand a U.S. policy in the Middle East based on respect for human rights and
democracy, not on endless war.

• While every representative can listen to points of view and meet in their office with anyone, attending the AIPAC meeting is a public display of support for war and occupation and gives AIPAC respectability and credibility it does not deserve.
• U.S. tax dollars should be used for building up
our cities here, not supporting the destruction of homes and farms in occupied Palestine. AIPAC's unconditional support for even the very worst of Israel's
policies is directly contradictory to the values of peace and fairness that are
best for our city, our country and our world.
• Attending
an AIPAC event implies support for AIPAC’s
lobbying to attack Iran.
We should be actively supporting global nuclear disarmament (for all countries,
including the United States
and Israel),
not threatening others with military action.
• Attending
AIPAC events helps build support for AIPAC's agenda
and does nothing to advance a just foreign policy based on respect for human
rights and international law.
