Hi,

The Israeli military killed nearly 100 Palestinian civilians in the
bombing of a school housing displaced Palestinian families.^1 CNN reported
that Israel used at least one U.S.-manufactured bomb during the strike.^2

The airstrike was quickly condemned by the European Union, Britain,
France, Turkey, and Arab states. Yet, the United States is sending Israel
more weapons for its violence in Gaza.^3 The State Department notified
Congress of a direct sale of 6,500 joint direct action munitions to
Israel, even as the Israeli military continues to bomb and kill tens of
thousands of Palestinians.^4

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also continues to block a peace deal
while he heightens regional tensions in the Middle East that could lead to
an all out regional war involving the United States. The U.S. government
must end its policy of sending the Israeli military weapons that support
the onslaught in Gaza.

weapons shipments to Israel!

Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought shelter in schools
since Israel’s bombing campaign began after October 7. Around 350 families
had been sheltering at the school in Gaza before Israel’s airstrike hit
and killed nearly 100 people.^5

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.

Congress and President Biden must use their leverage to end Netanyahu’s
violence and the ever-increasing risk of regional war involving the United
States, Israel, Iran and other countries. America must stop funding
Israel’s escalations and stop sending bombs to its military.

Israeli escalations. Stop the war on Gaza and halt a broader war in the
Middle East.

Thanks for taking action,
