Foreign Policy in Focus has a brief commentary entitled "Who's Arming Israel" which argues that, because of the aid we supply to Israel, we should have - and should use - this leverage to demand a cease-fire.
How much money are we talking about? Israel is the largest recipient of both direct foreign aid and the Pentagon's Foreign Military Financing. For the past twenty years, each Israeli has received over $400 per year from the US.
That's a good piece of change. Yet, we allow Israel to begin what may turn out to be WW III.

To the rest of the world, Israel often appears more like the 51st American state, than an independent nation. This is particularly true of the Arab Middle Eastern states who are fully aware where Israeli weaponry comes from.
