What should U.S. tax revenue be used for? Safety net programs, education, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of Palestinian children? Wait, that last one seems a little odd to be in the realm of possibility. Unfortunately, our tax dollars are being used for just that in the military aid (a whopping $38 billion package deal finalized in September of 2016) we provide to Israel.
Abuses of Palestinian children are documented in a report by UNICEF titled “Children in Israeli Military Detention” and in “No Way to Treat a Child” by the Defense for Children International Palestine.
