Hi,

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected Ceasefire deals
throughout the war on Gaza. Israel’s recent airstrikes in Gaza and Beirut,
and ground invasion in Lebanon, was part of a misguided, deadly plan of
“escalation to de-escalation.”^1 That escalation led Iran to fire missiles
into Israel. Now Netanyahu is warning people to flee southern Lebanon.

There have been countless options on the table for diplomatic peace deals
that would free hostages and end the violence against the Palestinian
people. But Netanyahu has refused peace — and our elected leaders have
continued sending Israel funding and weapons. That must end, so this
illegal and immoral war can end.

Senators like Tim Kaine, Jeff Merkley, and Peter Welch have joined Sen.
Sanders in expressing support for ending offensive weapons shipments to
Israel.^2,3

U.S. funding and weapons shipments for Israel’s military should’ve ended a
long time ago because of the civilian toll of Netanyahu’s onslaught on
Gaza and because Israel violated international law by blocking aid to
Palestinians.

Hamas's 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.

Now is the time to take steps towards ending U.S. support for Netanyahu’s
devastating wars on Gaza and Lebanon by passing Sen. Sanders’s
resolutions.
