US Military Aid to Israel – ACT NOW to Stop!

Contact your state congressmen or senators today. The U.S.Congress is considering a bill to vote for it’s annual $3 Billion assistance to Israel’s IDF.
The US 2011 budget is now in the House Appropriations Committee, and Israel is to be given another $3 Billion in Military Aid!  In past years, Israel has been given this “aid” with no discussion, no conditions that must be met, no reporting requirements, and no incremental/quarterly payments as is done with every other country receiving such Aid. These practices clearly must be stopped if the US is to be able to bring Israel to end all building of settlements, open Gaza and enter into good faith negotiations for a comprehensive, just and lasting peace agreement.

Standing up to Israel

What kind of hypocrisy is this? Why can't the United States stand up against Israel and its decisions in preventing peace?
The writers say in the article, "Obama, Netanyahu meet; minds don't": "U.S. officials ... are not asking Netanyahu to halt construction... Instead, they have asked him to avoid announcements of new projects."
Are the projects going up secretly without anyone finding out? Will the Palestinians not know about it? Can someone please explain this absurdity?
Peace will never be achieved by pushing Palestinians to the brink of disaster.
