Demand your Senators OPPOSE H.R.8034, the Israel Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, per U.S. law Dear Email, Last Saturday, the House of Representatives passed H.R.8034, the Israel Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024, with a concerning number of 58 members of Congress voting against it (37 Democrats and 21 Republicans).  The allocation of $26 billion, including $14.1 billion designated for weapons to Israel, is deeply troubling. It goes against US laws and policies, such as the Foreign Assistance Act and the Arms Export Control Act, which prohibit weapon transfers to countries engaged in severe human rights violations. The bill's passage in the House signals a critical moment for us to rally together and pressure our Senators to vote against it. The U.S. must end its blatant and unconditional support for Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip, as well as its support for Israel’s war crimes and occupation in general. I urge each one of you to call and email your Senators immediately and tell your friends and family to do the same. In this action, you will also be able to thank the House members who voted against sending more weapons to Israel. We greatly appreciate these Representatives for choosing to uphold human rights and international law. Thank you for your prompt attention and continued action for Palestine. |
