TELL CONGRESS: The United States is sending troops and weapons systems to
Israel while the Israeli military bombs Al-Aqsa hospital and refugee areas
in Gaza. The escalating violence led AOC to call for a total arms embargo
on Israel. Sign the petition: Back Senator Sanders’s resolutions to stop
weapons sales to Israel!

Hi,

Israel’s escalating violence in Gaza in recent days included a horrific
airstrike on Al-Aqsa hospital that ignited a fire in a tent camp for
displaced people, killing at least four people and injuring scores of
others.^1

Despite a year of devastating violence against the Palestinian people and
Netanyahu’s continued rejection of peace agreements, the U.S. government
is still sending weapons to Israel. The Biden administration is now even
sending U.S. troops to Israel.^2

Israel’s strikes in Gaza led Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to call for an
outright arms embargo.^3 It’s time to stop sending weapons to fuel
Israel’s war on the Palestinian people.

resolutions to block a $20 billion weapons sale to Israel.

AOC said, “The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a
completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin
while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals.”^4 In
fact, CNN reports that Israel has blocked all food from entering Gaza
since the beginning of October. This is a breach of international
humanitarian law that threatens at least a million people with
starvation.^5

The U.S. government must end its support for Israel’s atrocities in Gaza.
