A prominent new highway
billboard – up in Sacramento but part of a national campaign –says it “just
doesn’t make sense” for US taxpayers to be paying $8 million dollars a day to
Israel.
The billboard is located in West Sacramento on Highway
Bus 80 near the merger with Interstate 80. Drivers heading west from downtown
Sacramento to nearby Davis or the SF Bay Area drive by the billboard before the
merger with I-80.
Viewers of the billboard are directed to the website www.stoptheblankcheck.org which includes facts on US aid to Israel and other information not
generally known. The website includes suggestions for action by citizens who
question or oppose this amount of aid going to a small, wealthy country.
The ongoing aid to Israel is contrasted with the
little aid given to poor countries. Why are we giving this aid to a foreign
country while social services in the US are being cut?
Most of the aid to Israel is in military hardware and
amounts to over $3 Billion each year. The website explains how this aid
undermines the prospects of peace.
