“End apartheid now. Stop US aide for Israel” reads the new anti-Israel campaign launched in the United States by an organization called American Muslims for Palestine.

These new anti-Israel signs are visible in subway stations in the New York City mass transit system, posted just three days after US President Barak Obama returned from a 48-hour solidarity visit to Israel.

According to most, the visit resulted in an all time high in relations between the Obama administration and Israel. Mr. Obama was vocal in his unconditional commitment to Israel’s security, maintaining its military qualitative edge in the region, and to the future prosperity of the Jewish State.

According to the American Muslims for Palestine, Obama is not a neutral party but he stands behind the funding for the ongoing dispute in the region, explaining the US aid to Israel must be halted towards bringing continued construction in settlements to a halt and to stop Israeli expropriation of “Palestinian lands”.
