Al-Seyed: U.S. taxes should not be spent on Israeli bombs and tanks. Abdulrahman Mohammad Al-Seyed, a Muslim American senator: The residents of this country do not pay taxes to buy bombs or tanks for Israel. I don't think we are on the path to any kind of peace, dignity, and autonomy for Palestinians or Israelis. How do we ensure that our tax money is not spent on genocide and apartheid, or a war that we have nothing to do with? How do we take these equal rights seriously? How do we ensure that we are accountable to international law? This is not just about Israel. I have the same attitude regarding Egypt, Pakistan, and Jordan. - Link
