Palestine and Israel: Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel

Mr. Patrick Costello:
My general point is that America is a key ally, and essentially has skin in the game. The military aid, because it is tied to US companies, is essentially a $3 billion subsidy for American companies. There are too many vested interests associated with the Americans because of that subsidy and because of those $3 billion worth of connections.
