I'm an American who sees our country struggling with immense challenges at home, yet every year, billions of US tax dollars are sent to Israel. Let's be clear: my concern isn’t about the Jewish community in America; it’s about prioritizing our nation’s needs first. According to the US Census, Jewish Americans make up approximately 7.5 million people, a small fraction of the total US population compared to African Americans and Hispanic Americans. The disparities in allocation of aid and resources are staggering.

Consider this: while we're dealing with rising inflation, increasing homelessness, and underfunded public services, we continue to provide significant military and financial aid to Israel. In contrast, African Americans and Hispanic Americans face systemic challenges that desperately need funding. Why not channel these resources into improving American lives? We must focus on making America first, not Israel.

The US government allocated approximately $3.8 billion in foreign military financing to Israel annually. Meanwhile, communities across the US grapple with failing infrastructure, education inequalities, and health crises. It's time to rethink our spending priorities and keep American tax dollars within our borders to rebuild and strengthen our own communities.

We need Congress to reevaluate these foreign aid policies. There is a pressing need to redirect these funds towards pivotal domestic matters such as healthcare, education, and social justice initiatives. These are areas that directly affect millions of Americans daily.

Join me in calling on our government to prioritize Americans. Let’s urge our leaders to ensure that our tax dollars are spent where they are needed most – at home.

Please sign this petition to tell Congress that American needs must come first.
