Policy paper by Josh Ruebner critically examines US military aid to Israel, highlighting its extensive scale and implications. It details how such aid has facilitated actions leading to civilian casualties and human rights violations, questioning the legality under US laws like the Arms Export Control Act and the Leahy Laws. The paper proposes policy options, including restricting aid usage to within Israel's recognized borders and leveraging aid to promote human rights and compliance with international law. This source is valuable for research on US military aid to Israel, Israeli war crimes, Israeli settlements, Palestinian home demolitions, white phosphorus use, US complicity, and US foreign policy.
