TELL CONGRESS: The world’s leading authority on food insecurity just officially confirmed widespread famine in Gaza. At the same time, Israel has just begun a full-scale invasion and military occupation of Gaza City. Our lawmakers must finally end U.S. support for Israel’s horrors in Gaza. Sign the petition: End the famine in Gaza and stop U.S. military aid to Israel!

The world’s leading authority on food insecurity just officially confirmed widespread famine in Gaza.1

The United Nations-backed group of experts found that over half a million people in north Gaza are at risk of dying from starvation, and hundreds of thousands more people face catastrophic shortages as the famine spreads to other areas. "As this Famine is entirely man-made, it can be halted and reversed. The time for debate and hesitation has passed, starvation is present and is rapidly spreading," read the group’s report.2

Israel created this horror with its aid blockade, and has been fully backed by the U.S. every step of the way. We must end U.S. support for what Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are calling a genocide in Gaza.

Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed civilians at a rate with few parallels in modern warfare. Recent reporting from +972 Magazine found that, according to Israel’s own data, “at least 83 percent of Palestinians killed in Israel’s onslaught on Gaza were civilians.”3

Israel is only escalating this terror. This week, Israel began a full-scale invasion and military occupation of Gaza City. The operation has sparked global condemnation, including the UN human rights chief saying, “The Israeli Government's plan for a complete military takeover of the occupied Gaza strip must be immediately halted.”4

Yet the U.S. government continues to fund the horror with more than $22 billion in military aid. Congress has approved expanded military aid to Israel six times since October 7, 2023. No more. Our lawmakers must end arms sales to Israel NOW.
