As Israel Prospers, Obama Set To Give Billions More In Aid While Netanyahu Demands Even More

American aid to Israel is illegal under a decades-old law that prohibits aid to nuclear powers that have not signed the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), according to a lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, DC.

The lawsuit, filed this week by Grant Smith, the director of the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy, comes as the US and Israel have closed many of the gaps in negotiations over a new 10-year military aid package worth tens of billions of dollars.

Discussing the lawsuit in an interview with Court House News, Smith said the US has provided Israel an estimated $234 billion in foreign assistance since Congress passed the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act in 1976, which bans aid to non-signatories of the NPT that posses nuclear weapons.
US aid to Israel is in violation of a 40-year-old law, a new lawsuit purports.
In 1976, the United States government enacted the International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act. Among other things, the law states that the executive branch cannot authorize financial aid for nuclear countries that are not party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The billions sent to Israel annually have become such a centerpiece of US policy that it is virtually unthinkable that they would allow a little thing like its overt illegality get in the way. Still, if they lost this lawsuit they’d be obliged to either end the aid or change the law to admit Israel can flout this restriction.

Cool! Then there is:

WASHINGTON (CN) - Support for Israeli settlements has casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and several U.S. nonprofits, philanthropists and corporations facing an unprecedented $34.5 billion complaint by Palestinians.
Clocking in at a staggering 187 pages, the action filed Monday accuses the big-name defendants of having collectively supported Israeli settlement growth, to the tune of $1 billion funneled every year through U.S.-based nonprofits, to rid the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories of non-Jewish inhabitants.
In addition to Adelson, the 51 named defendants include former White House national security adviser Elliott Abrams, Cleveland Cavaliers majority owner Daniel Gilbert, megachurch pastor John Hagee, five other individuals and dozens of corporations including Remax, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola and Volvo.
None of the aforementioned defendants have returned requests for comment. A research assistant for Abrams at the Council on Foreign Relations merely noted Wednesday that the senior fellow was out of the office.
The March 7 complaint accuses them of having channeled money to Israeli settlements under the guise of charitable donations made to U.S. tax-exempt entities, affording them maximum tax deductions for their contributions.
"These defendants, for close to 30 years, have violated at least eight federal criminal statutes ... including money laundering, and any number of applicable Treasury regulations governing tax-exempt entities," the complaint says.
