In recent days, certain Republicans have been making desperate claims regarding President Barack Obama's largest-ever military assistance request for Israel contained in the FY2013 budget request. NJDC responded with a "Fact Check" documenting the reality that the President has increased military assistance to Israel in the FY2013 budget. The Associated Press also examined GOP claims about the President's largest-ever request for Israel, and their findings track closely with our own. They note that despite how some members of Congress have protested, their "election-year claim fails to take into account the billions the administration wants in aid for the Mideast ally and ignores a few Washington realities."
