http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/stop-us-military-aid

Netanyahu and those who take us for granted should know that there is a PRICE for their actions, and that we in America won't put up with what they are doing!

1. I'll sign it if Elizabeth Warren & Bernie Sanders sign it.

2. Maybe they're waiting for more people like you to sign it too! :)

Leaders are supposed to be responsive to what the people want, not the people just do what the leaders want. I think that's what leaders like Warren and Sanders are more like than other pols out there.

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. Yeah, they're Sooooooo different.

[Scootaloo]

9. Maybe you should derive your conscience from ethics rather than party membership?

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. And when I begin to take ethics advice from some anonymous poster online, I'll give you a holler.

[Scootaloo]

23. Ethics are universal. You don't need me to explain ethics, you need only embrace them

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. And I don't need you to explain to me about my "party" affiliation & my conscience, just FYI.

[Scootaloo]

35. Just making a suggestion

Defining your position according to what the party says isn't especially admirable. Ideally it would be the other way around because, you know, we're not Republicans.

25. Pathetic n/t

7. What the media calls "Foreign Aid" we should call "Arms Sales".

[Enthusiast]

11. +1

27. That's why it ain't going away anytime soon.

32. It's our #1 export....

We should include a free gun nut with every purchase.

[polichick]

37. Good idea - maybe even a whole case of gun nuts!

[yuiyoshida]

8. DONE!

10. You are kidding...right?

There are factions in the Middle East that only want one thing...and that is death to Israel...and here you are advocating for the limiting of Israels ability to defend itself.

We always jump on the Conservatives because they are manipulated so well...only to find out that Progressives are just as bad.I' embarrassed for you.

and no...I won't sign your petition.

[regnaD kciN]

12. "Limiting of Israels (sic) ability to defend itself"...

...in other words, "limiting Israel's ability to commit genocide against a captive civilian population."

[Oldenuff]

14. ?

Oh Brother.

If we can't think independently,we are lost.

Imagine if the media wanted to influence common opinion.Imagine further,if even the progressives bought into it.Same shite when the CIA starts a disinformation campaign to influence elections around the globe.

And here "we" are...dutifully following along.

[stranger81]

31. I believe you are very confused

about whose eyes the wool has been pulled over.

[Tetris_Iguana]

40. They must be if they can't see the genocide for what it is.

Maddening, isn't it?

[cascadiance]

15. We went through similar concerns when Egypt's Mubarak regime fell too...

We as a world power have a responsibility to make sure if we send arms aid that it is being used properly in terms of defending that country and NOT used against others in an abusive fashion, which has been a concern recently BOTH in the case of Egypt's new regime and in the case of the Netanyahu regime, who are using this aid in an abusive way. Their citizenry needs to understand that if the leadership they put in place abuses the use of that aid, there is a price to be paid. If we can't control how this aid is given out, then weapons dealers are free to make tons of money off of us with no price to be paid, and those receiving the aid also get to do whatever they want with it without a cost.

We as citizens should have a say in how our taxpayer's money is being spent. I think it is time to draw a line in the sand now.

17. Come on, if only enough of us write a letter to the president and congress, surely they'll listen.

Besides, it's a great way to get your name on a whole bunch of mailing lists or email lists.

[Buns_of_Fire]

20. It's like hitting a mule in the head with a 2x4. First, you have to get its attention.

As a country, we either stand for something or we don't. But in lieu of pulling the plug entirely, I'd be willing to see some serious strings attached to any future disbursements.

26. Bull shit! Israel kills more people in one day

with our tax dollars than the other Middle East countries combined. Maybe you need to look into your conscience and see if there is any room for social justice for all people in the region.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. Jon Stewart did a piece last night on this....

He exposed to America that we are selling arms to all sides in the region.

Why?

Because Tahiti isn't in the market for military hardware.

[regnaD kciN]

13. Signed it with pride...

34. FY2014 has $89 billion for our war in Afghanistan

Over 1300 civilian casualties there in 2013 incidentally (including women and children killed by NATO airstrikes), but who pays attention to that sort of thing anymore?

[Trillo]

38. Kicking

because of the anti-semite post(s) this morning, this thread is a good balance to them.

[2banon]
