Boston Sustain Arguments Against Aid to Israel
I. Israeli violations of the objectives of the US Foreign Aid
Program:
In relation to the Middle East, the US aid program supports
peace, stability, democratization, and ending refugee
situations.
The following details on all four objectives show Israeli
disregard for these objectives.
1. Stability:
A.The occupation of Palestinian and Syrian territories has destabilized the
region for over 35 years. By US and International laws, the occupation is
illegal.
B.The US has sided with UN and all other international organizations
condemning the occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, East Jerusalem, and
the Golan Heights as illegal and in violation of international laws, and has
demanded withdrawal from all occupied territories.
C.The US does not recognize Israel's sovereignty over East Jerusalem, or all
alterations to the status of the city introduced by Israel since 1967.
D.The US considers all settlements in the occupied territories illegal and has
demanded its removal.
2. Peace:
Right wing partners in the Sharon coalition government are
opposed to the peace process with the Palestinians. The
Sharon government's practices of land confiscation, house
demolition, and building more settlements show that peace
is not a priority.
3. Democratization:
A.Israel is a democracy, but for Jews only. Especially, Israeli Arabs do not
enjoy the legal status or the civil liberties Jews enjoy. Discrimination against
Arabs is a policy followed by successive Israeli governments.
B.The existing of troubling racist practices in the occupied territories, such land
confiscation, house demolishing, segregation of Arab villages by networks of
settlements and over‑passes available to Jews only. Such practices are
documented by responsible International bodies and Israeli human rights
organizations.
4. Ending Refugee Situations:
Israel has aggravated the problem of refugees. House
demolition, confiscation of Palestinian land, rejection of the
right of return for generations of Palestinians made
refugees since 1948.

II. Israeli violations of the conditions of the US Foreign Aid
Program:
Several of the conditions for granting aid are not met by
Israel. The US Aid program states that aid is to be given if
Israel takes action or meets conditions in keeping with US
policies:
1.The US can withhold aid if Israel continues building settlements in Arab
occupied territories. The settlements have nearly doubled since the Oslo
accords, but, ironically, aid to Israel has increased.
2.Economic conditions for aid have not been met by Israel. Israel has not
made necessary economic reforms, such as: privatization of government
owned enterprises; cutting subsidies for housing in the occupied territories;
and implementing austerity measures.
3.Part of the Aid funds is loans that should be repaid. Military aid to Israel is
labeled "Loans," but Israel usually does not repay. Repayments are
"waived." Israel prefers loans she does not repay over "grants" funds which
come with conditions: US military overseeing the grants program. Israel, in
other words, gets grants without US supervision.
[Back to summary]
III. Israeli misuse of Aid funds:
The US has investigated several Israeli instances of misuse
of aid funds without taking action against Israel:
1.Israel has used Aid money in the occupied territories, especially in building
settlements.
2.Israel has used weapons for non‑defensive purposes, and the conditions for
military aid state. US government has investigated Israeli violations in 1978,
1979, 1981, 1982, and most recently 2001, when helicopter gunships were
used in assassinating Palestinian leaders, and when f‑16 fighters were used in
bombing Palestinian civilian buildings.
3.Israel has transferred technology without US approval. Israel has been
transferring technology for decades, giving weapons and technology to
China, South Africa, Chile, Ethiopia, and other countries.
[Back to summary]
IV. Israel's engagement in espionage affairs in the US:
In violation of aid conditions, Israel has engaged in
espionage in the US that targets military and civilian
technology. The two cases of Richard Smyth (1985) and
Jonathan Pollard (1985) both indicted on charges of selling
prohibited technology (Smyth) or classified information
(Pollard).
Other cases have confirmed Israel has been spying on the
US consistently with relative impunity. In 1986, an Illinois
company complained of Israeli attempts to steal data on
aerial reconnaissance cameras, and an engineer at a
military testing facility in Michigan admitted he gave
classified material to Israel in the period of 1987‑1997.
