John,

Days ago Israeli forces bombed a designated safe zone in Rafah, killing 45 people and incinerating children. Just when we think we’ve seen the worst for Gaza, the horror reaches new heights.

Experts say bomb parts used in the massacre were manufactured by US companies like Boeing and Woodward. These companies and their CEOs are profiting off genocide, making big bucks from weapons that are bought with our tax dollars and gifted to the Israeli government.

For months our community has been calling for an arms embargo with Israel — delivering our voices to officials and the media everywhere from the US to countries across Europe. Now more than ever, especially in light of recent events, we must keep up the pressure on our governments to suspend arms sales to Israel immediately.

It’s easy to feel completely hopeless in the face of genocide, but this is one concrete thing we can do right now to help stop the attacks. 

Tell governments: suspend arms sales to Israel immediately.

Israel manufactures a lot of its own defenses, but it also receives billions of dollars in weapons from many of our governments. Until Israel stops the genocide in Gaza and puts an end to its egregious human rights violations against Palestinians, governments should immediately suspend these weapons deals with Israel.

From the US to the UK, Australia to Germany, and the list goes on... our leaders are complicit in these massacres and are helping big weapons manufacturers like Raytheon, Boeing, and General Dynamics get rich off of war. 

The Israeli government isn’t showing signs of stopping the attacks on Gaza, despite being ordered to do so by the UN’s highest court. But if its allies stop the flow of the deadly weapons enabling the genocide, the Israeli government will be forced to rethink its strategy. Add your name to the petition and share this widely:

Suspend arms sales to Israel.

The Ekō community has been supporting lawsuits challenging governments for sending weapons to Israel, and thousands of us have sent messages and made phone calls to lawmakers urging them to suspend the transfers. We can’t back off now — let’s 10x our outcry before more innocent civilians are killed.
