To the Ann Arbor (Michigan) City Council: Approve this resolution -
“We are against military aid to Israel.”
That is the entire resolution.
You ask, "Why single out Israel?"
The U.S. government singles out Israel.
* Israel will get $38 billion in military aid over 10 years, which cannot be reduced by annual budget negotiations in Congress.
* An Israeli company is installing border surveillance across Arizona. Its surveillance drones transmit the location of human rights marchers, in Gaza, to Israeli snipers.
* Most U.S. Congressmembers, and most states, forcefully condemn even the most peaceful protests against Israel – the boycott, divestment, & sanctions movement.
* Ann Arbor's Mayor wanted to censure City Councilmember Kathleen Kozachenko for attending a protest against the Israeli President (Ann Arbor News, 3/18/1975, p. 29)
* As late as July 2019, Ann Arbor City Councilmembers panic when Israel is criticized – a panic which is simply unprecedented for any other criticism of a foreign state.
• This has freed up Israel to detain 10,000 Palestinian children since 2000.
• This has freed up Israel to gun down over 6000 unarmed Palestinian human rights marchers, just
since March 2018. Almost 300 of them were killed.
• This has freed up Israel to outright kill over 9600 Palestinians, just since September 2000.
• This has freed up Israel to build its arsenal of hundreds of nuclear weapons, hundreds of military
aircraft, and thousands of tanks.
