Hi,
A vote is imminent in both the House and Senate on sending Israel more
than $14 billion in security assistance,^1 even as Israel’s bombing
campaign in Gaza has killed over 27,000 Palestinians.
Some members of Congress want to send Israel billions of dollars with no
strings attached. But U.S. taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be used to keep
funding this deadly war.
We have to make our voice heard now and urge Congress to vote NO on
sending billions more in U.S. taxpayer-funded aid to Israel.
[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: It’s time to condition aid to Israel so American tax
dollars aren’t used to kill civilians and violate the human rights of
Palestinians.
ADD YOUR NAME
The United States gives billions of dollars in military aid to Israel each
year on top of weapons transfers like the $250 million worth of weapons
Biden authorized a few weeks ago.^2 But Congress can act to stop our tax
dollars from funding further violence against the Palestinian people.
Congress sending unconditioned military assistance to Israel right now
with the death toll rising in Gaza would be an unconscionable show of
support for Israel’s military actions.
Hamas's attacks must be condemned, but Israel's response has been
disproportionate and taken an extraordinary civilian toll. Fueling
Israel’s continued disproportionate campaign of violence is the exact
opposite of what the U.S. government should be doing.
A vote will happen in the next few days, so we must tell our lawmakers to
vote NO on sending unconditional aid to Israel.

to perpetuate violence against Palestinians.
Thanks for taking action,
Mark and the team at Demand Progress
