$17.9B Aid to Israel Makes US Complicit in Slaughter

The amount of military aid America has provided to Israel in the past year makes it undoubtedly complicit in the genocide and slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians.

The US has spent a record $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since the start of the war on Gaza, according to a report by Brown University’s Costs of War project, released on the anniversary of the ongoing Israeli genocide war on Gaza on 7 October 2023.

According to Brown University, an additional $4.86 billion has been allocated to bolster military deployment in the Middle East, including the campaign against Yemen.

Yet, despite all of this, American presidential candidates are proudly pledging to uphold their unconditional and unwavering support for Israel as a way to promote themselves in the upcoming elections.
