Two Quaker Organizations Join Faith-Based Groups Calling on the United States to End Military Aid to Israel

American Friends Service Committee and Friends Committee on National Legislation co-signed a letter.

"Human rights abuses Palestinians suffer include “arbitrary detention, house demolition, and collective punishment,” said Sam Bahour, a Palestinian whose children attended Ramallah Friends School.

Israel punishes Palestinians as a group, using destruction of infrastructure and confiscating of dead bodies, for the actions of Hamas, according to Bahour, who works as a business consultant and independent political analyst.

Asked to comment on the argument that Israel needs U.S. military aid to ensure its continued existence, Bahour said that the approximately $4 billion the U.S. sends to Israel is a small portion of the Israeli economy. Israel has a $550 billion economy so if the U.S. cut off aid, settlement activity would decrease but Israel would not face an existential threat, according to Bahour."

Now is no time to cut refugee numbers

The following opinion piece was written by Marisa León-Gómez Sonet, the immigration and refugee program assistant at the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). It was published by The Hill on 4 November 2020.

The United States has long been a safe harbor for refugees. That should not change based on the whims of a president.

But the scale and scope with which the US continues to close its borders to refugees is unprecedented, and only getting worse amidst a global crisis.

Just last month, the administration announced plans to limit refugee admittance to historically low new numbers. Current law requires consultation with House and Senate Judiciary Committees leadership by Sept. 30 prior to setting this number. But this administration has never cared much what the law says.
