Take Action: Israel Kills 30 Palestinians with U.S. Weapons
February 29th, 2008
Since Wednesday, Israel has killed at least 30 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, including five children under the age of 16 playing soccer and a six month-old child (Ha’aretz).
Israel’s Deputy Defense Minister threatened Palestinians with genocide, calling for an even “bigger holocaust” against residents of the Gaza Strip (Telegraph).
Israel killed almost all of these Palestinians in air strikes most likely with its arsenal of fighter jets—Boeing F-15’s and Lockheed F-16’s—and attack helicopters—Boeing Apaches and Cobra Bells—paid for by U.S. taxpayers through annual military aid to Israel.Almost all of Israel’s air-to-surface missiles, which would have been used in these attacks, are produced by U.S. corporations such as Hughes, Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin and paid for by U.S. tax dollars. The US Campaign opposes all attacks on civilians.
