TELL CONGRESS & PRES. BIDEN: Throughout Israel’s war on Gaza, Israel has

thousands of Palestinians. Sign the petition: End American support for the
war on Gaza. Stop sending weapons to the Israeli military!

Hi,
After the United States approved another $20 billion arms sale to
Israel,^1 the death toll in Gaza surpassed 40,000 and an Israeli airstrike
killed 18 Palestinians who were all members of the same family.^2
Israel has used U.S.-made weapons to bomb Gaza for months in violation of
international law. Israel used at least one U.S.-made weapon when it
killed nearly 100 people in an airstrike on a school in Gaza earlier this
month.^3 An Israeli airstrike that killed health workers in Lebanon in
March used U.S. munitions.^4
Our leaders in the U.S. government must finally change policy to end
American support for the atrocities against the Palestinian people.

weapons shipments to Israel!

An Amnesty International report found a pattern of unlawful Israeli
military attacks against Palestinians in Gaza using U.S. arms including an
attack on Rafah in January that killed at least 95 people with a
Boeing-made bomb.^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 billions of dollars worth of
weapons that Israel has used to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians.
Congress and President Biden must use their leverage to end the Israeli
military’s violence. Our leaders must stop supplying the Israeli military
with weapons.
