Hi,
On Saturday, Congress will vote on whether or not to send more weapons to
Israel.^1 This could be our last chance to stop billions more in taxpayer
dollars going to Netanyahu’s war machine.
Israel has killed more than 30,000 Palestinian civilians since October 7.
Netanyahu’s government continues to block humanitarian aid from reaching
starving people in Gaza. Sending Israel more bombs right now would just
fuel more war in Gaza. It would embolden Israel to retaliate against Iran.
We have just two days left to stop Congress from sending more weapons to
Israel.

weapons and unconditional aid to Israel.

It would send a dangerous message to give Israel more offensive military
support right now.
The decisions made over the next few days could lead to or stop a
full-scale regional war from breaking out in the Middle East. These
decisions could decide whether the United States is dragged into more
active, direct warfare.
While there’s a right to self-defense in international law, there’s
certainly no right to retaliation. And there’s no justification for the
atrocities Israel has carried out in Gaza.
If Congress makes the decision to send Israel more weapons and
no-strings-attached funding, it could be one of the dominos that emboldens
Israel to launch a retaliatory strike against Iran and unleash war across
the region. And it would continue America’s shocking complicity in what
Israel is doing in Gaza.
Congress must vote against further arming the regime responsible for so
many deaths and so much suffering in Gaza, at a time when such support
could lead to full-scale war with Iran.
