Friends in the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ (and elsewhere) here's some info you might want to know regarding U.S. Foreign Aid to Israel - all info is from fas.org - Congressional Research Service

1. Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II
2. Almost all U.S. aid to Israel is military assistance, provided to Israel "in light of robust domestic U.S. support for Israel + its security; shared strategic goals in the M.E; a mutual commitment to democratic values; + U.S. support for the creation of Israel in 1948."
3. To date [2020] the United States has provided Israel $146 billion (current, or noninflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. At present, almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance.

1. Consider signing 1 of these letters re: the rescinding of offer of employment to @ValentinaAzarov to head UofTโ€™s International Human Rights Program. Please read thread.

2. It's reported that @ValentinaAzarov's offer of employment to head @UTLaw's #humanrights program was rescinded when Law Dean acquiesced to pressure by a Judge-donor to program cuz her scholarship recognizes Israeli settlements violate IHRL.
3.I was a student @UTLaw. I got my start in intโ€™l HR law thru UofTโ€™s program. I noted the program had sent students to Israel inclding to work w/ the govt but hadnโ€™t supported anyone to work in Palestine. W/ some instโ€™nl struggle + the support of a courageous prof. I was the 1st.

As is so often the case in supply-side arguments here's what's omitted: how will it be ensured new build rentals will be affordable that (based on h/hold income)? How will units be protected vs investor driven interests eg: private equity, REITS, short-term rental platforms? 1/4
Also omitted: Keeping lower income h/holds out of h/ownership = wealth inequality issue. Property inheritance is how wealth is often built esp in economies where there're few other ways to do so. Look @ USA having kept BlacknBrown ppl out of prpty markets=inter generatnl poverty
This isn't just about young ppl and their future. It's a gender/race issue. Maybe we need to let disadvantaged populations into this conversation and into decision making to make sure colonial bias isn't replicated generation after generation. 3/4
