James,
Relentless Israeli violence against the people of Gaza and Lebanon have led to escalating warfare in the Middle East. For months and months, Netanyahu has refused to accept Ceasefire deals. Israeli officials even said the airstrikes and ground invasion in Lebanon was meant to reach "de-escalation through escalation." But now airstrikes are falling over Gaza, Lebanon, AND Israel.
The U.S. further arming Netanyahu is emboldening him to keep going.
That's why Bernie Sanders is working hard to pass his resolution to block U.S. weapons sales to Netanyahu. Congress must end its support for Israel’s devastating war on the Palestinian and Lebanese people. Can you stand with Bernie and help build momentum for his measure to block weapons sales to Netanyahu?
Netanyahu is bombing Beirut with American-made weapons. Israel’s onslaught on Gaza has killed 41,000 Palestinians. Right now, Netanyahu is threatening more airstrikes. All with the help of U.S. funding and weapons from Congress and the Biden administration.
Bernie said, “It is clear that Netanyahu is prolonging the war to cling to power.” But this can’t just be a standoff between Bernie and Netanyahu — Bernie needs our help.
Add your name: Back Bernie’s effort to halt $20 billion in weapons sales to Israel. Our leaders must stop fueling the violence against the people of Gaza and Lebanon.
“Sending more weapons to Netanyahu's extremist government is immoral & illegal,” Bernie added. Bernie’s been calling for a halt in funding and weapons support for Israel because of Israel’s breaches of international humanitarian law.
It was just uncovered that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the Biden administration IGNORED two federal U.S. agency reports echoing Bernie’s call to end illegal weapons shipments due to Israel blocking humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people.
There’s no more time to wait. And our leaders have no excuses left to continue breaking the law and fueling atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon.
Stand with Bernie: Support Bernie’s resolution to block weapons sales to Israel. Not another nickel, and not another bomb, for Netanyahu’s immoral war on the people of Gaza.
When we organize, we win.
