Defunding Occupation
The majority of Americans and American Jews think the U.S. should use human dignity and freedom as guiding values of its foreign policy towards Israel/Palestine. However, for decades, AIPAC has weaponized Jewish identity and false accusations of antisemitism to ensure that public officials across the board vote to give Israel a blank check even as it continues to deny freedom and dignity to the Palestinian people. It’s time for Jews to rise up with moral clarity, reclaim our identity, and ensure that our government’s money funds freedom and not occupation.
We need a #DefundOccupation Hearing Now
The first step to #DefundOccupation is knowing exactly how our government funds the injustices of the occupation.

The United States currently gives more military funding to Israel than to any other country in the world, all while the Israeli government maintains a decades-long military occupation depriving millions of Palestinians of their economic, political, and civil rights. This policy runs contrary not only to the stated US position, but is in direct contradiction with American values of freedom, equality, and democracy. As the Israeli government entrenches a one-state reality, we need American public officials to use every tool in their toolbox, including American assistance, to push for an end to the occupation and ensure freedom and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians.
The first step to #DefundOccupation is knowing exactly how our government funds the injustices of the occupation.
Representative Brad Sherman, as a member of the House Foreign Affairs committee it’s your responsibility to put the occupation on trial-- Will you hold a #DefundOccupation hearing?
