James, as the Israeli military continues bombing innocent civilians in Gaza, the United States continues supporting Netanyahu’s atrocities with funding and bombs.
The Biden administration just closed a $20 billion weapons sale to Israel. U.S.-made weapons have been used by Netanyahu’s military in atrocity after atrocity, including one recently that killed nearly 100 people at a school. 40,000 people in Gaza are dead. Palestinians face mass starvation. And America keeps sending Israel more bombs.
Outside the DNC last week, Ilhan Omar said what many elected Democrats refuse to admit: “If you really wanted a Ceasefire, you'd just stop sending the weapons.”
Add your name: Stop sending bombs to Netanyahu and the Israeli military! It is unconscionable to continue American support for the atrocities against the Palestinian people.
One of the reasons that Ilhan Omar made her statement outside of the DNC is because the Democratic Party refused to give a speaking slot to Palestinian-Americans and the Uncommitted Movement.
When the Uncommitted Movement and pro-Peace progressives like Ilhan and Summer Lee heard this news, they began a sit-in outside the DNC.
Inside the DNC, there was a panel on Palestinian rights, and we know Trump will be worse on this issue, but we must keep building pressure and momentum to end this senseless killing of Palestinian civilians and children with American-made bombs.
The U.S. government’s concerns over dead civilians means nothing without changing policy. Netanyahu cannot continue the atrocities in Gaza without U.S. support and weapons.
The Biden administration is spinning its wheels as Netanyahu continues to block a peace deal. But that hasn’t stopped Biden and Congress from sending billions of dollars and more weapons to Israel. The Democratic Party and the Biden administration must listen to our movement for peace. Our elected leaders must show the will and courage to change American policy and end the bombing of Gaza.
Add your name: President Biden and Congress MUST end weapons sales to Israel.
When we organize, we win.
