Dismantle VIAB: Virginia's own tax funded Israel lobby. Tell the General Assembly, dismantle the Virginia Israel Advisory Board. Every year, through the Virginia, Israel Advisory Board (VIAB) millions of dollars of economic development funds are funneled towards Israeli businesses instead of Virginian businesses, especially weapons manufacturers and war technology. Companies like Elbit Systems and Israeli Aerospace Industries are profiting from Israel's war crimes across the Middle East and have set up their operations here in Virginia. Virginia's government should invest in Virginians' needs, not the war machine! Tell your representative to dismantle VIAB. Email your state representative. Bit.Ly/dismantleVIAB
