Assignment for Tues, Sept 29

The topic I have chosen to do my casual argument essay on is over the United States government’s foreign aid to Israel. To help get the audience a better understanding on how the Israeli government is going about using that money, and to hopefully persuade them that is not what they need their tax dollars going towards.

My research question for my casual essay is “If we stop foreign aid to Israel, then they would have less likely of a chance to further oppress the people of Palestine, and violations of the Geneva convention.”

This topic is of interest to me because the majority of the people being oppressed in Palestine are Muslim as well. Also as a United States citizen, I feel appalled that our tax payer’s money is funding this ongoing genocide of innocent women and children. Because of the fact that people in the United States are so ignorant of what is really going on over there, due to the bias of our media, I feel a sense of urge that the citizens of the United States should be informed.

The ideas I have on this paper is to explain to the audience, the United states tax payer, what Israel is doing with the huge amounts of money we are funding them. That if this is stopped, then the money can go to a better cause, such as help pay for health care for the many children in the United States that are not covered. And to give them a better consensus of what is really going on in that region.
