Josh Ruebner, National Advocacy Director of the US Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, went to Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC, on October 6, 2011, on the opening day of the “Occupy DC” protest, to ask people what they think of the United States spending more than $3 billion per year on weapons for Israel and not on unmet needs here in our own communities.
A national coalition of more than 380 groups, the US Campaign works to end U.S. support for Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. We support a U.S. policy that upholds freedom, justice and equality.
