Israeli and U.S. Groups sued for $34.5 Billion For Funding Settlements

It's the first time I know that US law allow american citizens to donate to the occupying israeli military (the only military on earth)! amazing!

Israeli and U.S. Groups sued for $34.5 Billion for funding construction of Israeli settlements

Tuesday March 08, 2016 12:24

by Celine Hagbard - IMEMC News

A group of Palestinians and Palestinian-Americans who have been victims of Israeli settlement construction filed a lawsuit this week to demand financial compensation from some of the companies, individuals and organizations responsible for funding the construction.


Israeli settlement construction takes place on illegally seized Palestinian land, and is considered a flagrant violation of international law and Israel's responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention as an occupying power.

The U.S. Government has also condemned Israeli settlement construction – although a bill being considered by the U.S. Congress right now would make it illegal to boycott Israeli products that come from these illegal settlements.

In fact, U.S. Law currently allows U.S. Citizens to donate to the Israeli military directly – the only military on earth that U.S. Citizens are allowed to directly donate to. In addition, U.S. Citizens and groups are permitted to give tax-deductible donations to Israeli settlement construction project – despite the fact that doing so directly violates U.S. Stated policy.

US taxpayers paid more to Israeli defense budget than Israelis

By Alison Weir on September 17, 2012

American taxpayers give Israel over $3 billion per year (over $8 million per day), more than to any other nation, despite the fact that Israel is smaller than New Jersey and is in the top 30 richest countries in the world.

The Israeli army’s chief of staff states that in the past three years, “US taxpayers have contributed more to the Israeli defense budget than Israeli taxpayers,” according to a report in the Jerusalem Post, a prominent Israeli newspaper.

Some of the other top recipients of US tax money, Egypt and Jordan, were provided this assistance in return for diplomatic recognition of the Israeli state.

According to the Congressional Research Service, Israel is given this money in a lump sum at the beginning of the fiscal year. Americans then pay interest on money they have given to Israel, while Israel makes interest on it.

Lots of room, no pesky Jews to blame for their failures.

[RoccoR]

et al,

Isn't this seriously old news (four years old), crafted, framed and massaged to incite American Anger against the only country in the Middle East that shows any signs of success and yet, is defending itself against the Entire Arab League (minus 2), and religious radicals of Iran.

Yes, we discussed this very topic from the annual Congressional Research Service Report (US Foreign Aid to Israel 2012 CRS RL33222 MAR 2012) which was the basis for the
Article written by Alison Weir on September 17, 2012.

This is just a different approach in an attempt, by anti-Israeli and pro-Islamic Radicals, to smear the character of the State of Israel. Yes, at the time the article was written,
Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. By 2012, the US has provided Israel $115 billion in bilateral assistance over a 60 year period (1948-2012).

The June 2015 --- Congressional Research Service --- US Foreign Aid to Israel --- states that:

Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $124.3 billion (current, or non-inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance, although in the past Israel also received significant economic assistance.
​

The policy is to ensure that Israel maintains a qualitative military advantage and edge necessary to defend the Jewish National Home from the Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP) that would, given the opportunity, to military oppose the recommendations made by the UN Special Committee on Palestine (1947) and adopted by the UN General Assembly.

For FY2016, the following legislation addresses U.S. foreign assistance to Israel:

• A draft House FY2016 Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs bill would provide Israel $3.1 billion in FMF as requested.

• H.R. 1735, the House version of the National Defense Authorization bill for FY2016, authorizes up to $371.2 million for various U.S.-Israeli joint missile defense systems including: $41.4 million for Iron Dome, $249.8 million for David’s Sling; $34.5 million for Arrow 3, and $45.5 million for Arrow 2.

• S. 1376, the Senate version of the National Defense Authorization bill for FY2016, authorizes up to $372.4 million for various U.S.-Israeli joint missile defense systems.

• A draft House FY2016 Defense Appropriations bill would provide $487.595 million for U.S.-Israeli joint missile defense programs, of which $55 million is for Iron Dome, $286.526 million is for David’s Sling, $89.550 million is for Arrow 3, and $56.519 million is for Arrow 2.
​

To put these numbers in proper perspective:

Most fighter equipped units have an authorized number of 18 to 24. A squadron of Marine F-35Bs cost $4.5B, not including the ground equipment and maintenance.

(The little country of the UAE has 6 Squadrons of F-16s; whereas Saudi Arabia has 7 squadrons of fighter bombers and 6 fighter squadrons most composed of F-15s; but the new Typhoon at ≈ $100M per unit is coming on line.)
​

Since the unlateral Israeli withdraw from the Gaza Strip, and the Oslo Accords for the West Bank Self-Government, the US government has obligated over $5 billion in bilateral economic and non-lethal security assistance to the Palestinians, who are among the world’s largest per capita recipients of international foreign aid from the US. This aid had three prinicple concepts behind it:

 Promoting the prevention or mitigation of terrorism against Israel from Hamas and other militant organizations.

 Fostering stability, prosperity, and self-governance in the West Bank that may incline Palestinians toward peaceful coexistence with Israel and a “two-state solution.”

 Meeting humanitarian needs
​

I hope this gives a little insight.

Most Respectfully,
R

Freeman, et al,

This is non-sense!

(COMMENT)

First Israel is not an "apartheid" state.

The US has given Lebanon over $100M in aid since 2006.

In a brief statement, the US State Department said it planned to provide $1 billion per year to Jordan for each of the US fiscal years for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The US fiscal year ends on September 30.

State department officials said the military aid was released to the authorities in Cairo about 10 days ago, after getting a green light from Congress.

For Egypt the funds - from the annual $1.5bn of chiefly military aid - will mainly be used to pay existing defence contracts. The US also promised it would provide 10 Apache attack helicopters for use by the army against militants in the Sinai peninsula.
​

All the Middle Eastern countries get some form of aid the US. But the US has to be careful that today's Arab Allies might well become anti-American for nearly any reason.

Most Respectfully,
R

I'm just glad someone reminded me to hurry up and make my donation. Taxes are coming up and I've been so focussed on getting those ever present deadbeats to pay up I almost forgot about my charitable deductions.

Work it just right and it can knock me down a bracket. ;--)

Oh and the lawsuit is bound to fail miserably.

Quote

In fact, U.S. Law currently allows U.S. Citizens to donate to the Israeli military directly – the only military on earth that U.S. Citizens are allowed to directly donate to. In addition, U.S. Citizens and groups are permitted to give tax-deductible donations to Israeli settlement construction project

The donations are NOT AGAINST us law. The lawsuit will be dismissed
