Washington DC Ad Campaign Seeks To ‘Expose’ Israeli Lobby In America

An advertising drive is expected to take Washington D.C by storm on Monday as the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation and Visualizing Palestine call on the United States to halt $30 billion of military aid to the Jewish state.

The campaign comes as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) began it’s an annual policy meeting in the U.S. capital on Sunday. This will continue for another three days as the U.S. national coalition works to highlight the devastating impact of U.S. weapons on Palestinians.

“At a time when the sequester is cutting billions of dollars from programs to help those in need, it is grotesque that AIPAC is lobbying Congress this week for ever-increasing amounts of military aid to Israel, especially as these U.S. weapons are used by Israel—in violation of U.S. laws—to abuse Palestinian human rights,” stated Josh Ruebner, National Advocacy Director of the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation.

A three-day mobile truck ad has been tasked with following AIPAC attendees during their conference as they lobby Members of Congress for more weapons for Israel.
