Friend,
Together, voters across the country are calling on our leaders to ensure
that American military aid to Israel must be used for legitimate security
purposes and cannot be diverted to support demolitions, settlement growth
or the unlawful detention of Palestinian children.
I’m following up today because we don’t yet have your name on our
petition.

Emboldened by the Trump administration, the Netanyahu government has
significantly escalated settlement growth and demolitions of Palestinian
communities over the past four years -- a deeply concerning trend that is
continuing today with ongoing settlement approvals and escalations in East
Jerusalem evictions.
As we seek to chart a new course in the Biden era, we cannot allow our
security assistance to serve as a blank check to the settlement movement
and the far-right.
That's why we need you to help send a powerful message to Congress and the
White House that there is strong, popular support for action to deter
steps that violate our shared values, trample Palestinian rights and
jeopardize Israel’s own democratic future.

We have to be
clear, the 'choice' between ensuring Israel's security and
upholding Palestinian rights has always been a false one -- a wedge used
to divide the majority of American Jews who support the rights of both
Palestinians and Israelis to live with freedom, security and dignity.
As we make clear in this petition, greater transparency over our security
aid would actually strengthen America’s full, bipartisan security
commitments to Israel by ensuring all our aid is used for defensive
purposes -- and cannot be diverted toward actions that violate human
rights, undermine Palestinian self-determination and threaten our vision
of a just, peaceful and democratic Israel.

Yours,
Debra Shushan,
Director of Government Affairs
