In a historic move, Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky) may filibuster against massive aid package to Israel. AIPAC issues action alert to pressure Paul, predicts Congress will pass the aid package - largest in US history
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who has a history of being skeptical about U.S. taxpayer funds going towards the Jewish state, has placed a hold on the U.S.-Israel Security Assistance Authorization Act of 2018, which provides Israel with $38 billion in military aid over the next decade.
[Editor's note: This equals approximately $23,000 for every Jewish Israeli family of four.]
This has caused backlash from organizations such as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
"This bipartisan legislation authorizes full funding of security assistance to ensure Israel has the means to defend itself," AIPAC posted on Facebook with a link to "urge Sen. Paul to stop blocking aid to Israel."
[Editor's Note: Israel has one of the most powerful militaries in the world, including 100 to 400 nuclear weapons.]
