FEATURING LINDSAY KOSHGARIAN - When President Joe Biden addressed the American public from the Oval office on October 19th, he made the case for renewed aid to Israel by saying that it was vital to national security and that “American leadership is what holds the world together.” He gave his remarks ahead of a request to Congress for more than $105 billion in supplemental military aid to Ukraine and Israel.
So far Israel has killed more than 4,000 people in Gaza, including hundreds of Palestinian children. Writing for the National Priorities Project, Lindsay Koshgarian says, “In the face of massive suffering in Gaza and disregard for international law by the Israeli government, the U.S. must not provide additional military aid or weapons that would cause more deaths.”
