Hi,

Israel’s apparent assassination of the lead Hamas ceasefire negotiator in
Tehran last week is the latest dangerous escalation in the Middle East.^1

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has spent months blocking a
ceasefire deal while the Israeli military continues to kill Palestinian
civilians and obstructs aid deliveries, which has led to mass starvation.
Israel is escalating violence and tensions with Iran and Lebanon in a way
that could lead to an all out regional war if U.S. leaders don’t change
policy on Israel.

Congress and President Biden must use its leverage to end Netanyahu’s
violence. America must stop funding Israel’s escalations and stop sending
bombs to its military.

weapons shipments to Israel. America must de-escalate tensions in the
Middle East and stop an all out war with Iran.

Netanyahu has proved time and again that he would rather continue bombing
Gaza and Lebanon, and give inflammatory speeches in front of the U.S.
Congress, instead of working toward peace. As the United States increases
its military presence in the Middle East and puts servicemembers in
danger, we must tell our leaders that this is not the answer. The answer
is ending support for Israel’s escalations.^2

Hamas' attacks beginning on October 7 must be condemned but Israel's
response has been disproportionate and taken an extraordinary civilian
toll — all while America has supplied the bombs and funding Israel has
used to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians.

President Biden and Congress cannot continue providing unlimited funding
and weapons shipments to Israel. Our leaders must stop the bombing of Gaza
and the prospect of all out war with Iran.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition: End funding and weapons shipments that support
Israeli escalations. Stop the war on Gaza and halt a broader war in the
Middle East.

Thanks for taking action,

Mark and the team at Demand Progress
