Veterans Condemn Israeli Slaughter of Unarmed Palestinian Protesters

Israel receives $3.8 billion in U.S. military aid every year, making it the largest recipient of U.S. foreign assistance. U.S. laws, such as the “Leahy Law,” the Arms Export Control Act, and the Foreign Assistance Act, are supposed to prevent U.S. weapons from being used by other countries to commit human rights violations. Countries that violate these laws are subject to penalties, including a cut-off of additional weapons.

Furthermore, the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem flies in the face of diplomacy and creates a massive roadblock on a path to peace.  It is outrageous that our government continues to uphold and further such actions.

Israel must be held accountable for its actions!

End U.S. Military Exercises in Korea

The announcement of the cancellation of talks between North and South Korea lies solely at the feet of the United States.  The people of Korea have advocated and worked diligently to secure peace and to push for a path of reconciliation.  The United States continues to stand in the way of these efforts.

The United States is holding large scale war exercises in the Korean Peninsula, in the waters surrounding North Korea.  The people of Korea have repeatedly advocated a “Freeze for a Freeze”, whereupon the U.S. would cease their military exercises in exchange for a freeze on N. Korea’s nuclear program.  An agreement that almost every other country in the region has supported.

The United States MUST stop being a hindrance for peace and cease their military exercises immediately.
