The magnitude of US support, in light of the wealth of Israel, is obscene, and of course tragic for Palestine, which is the main victim of this huge military, the fifth largest in the world. Add to that the fact that Israel is the largest per capita importer and exporter of military hardware on the planet, you have to ask why. Why does the US send 3.8 billion dollars of military aid a year to a major manufacturer and distributor of arms to the international community? Why are US police being sucked into Israeli "training" and provided with Israeli arms for use on domestic "enemies"?. Today, this whole issue is addressed by Palestinian author, lecturer, researcher and journalist Susan Abulhawa, at the annual Edward Said Memorial Lecture which she delivered recently at the Jerusalem Fund and Palestine Center in Washington DC. Susan Abulhawa has for years been conducting her own research into the Israeli arms industry making chilling discoveries which she will share with you in this slightly edited lecture.
