John,
This weekend, we watched as the Israeli government attacks on Palestinians killed even more civilians, decimated media institutions, and damaged homes, hospitals, schools, and businesses.
The Israeli government has made it clear that they are willing to do whatever is necessary to continue the occupation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised that the Gaza bombing campaign would continue “full force.”
Currently, American taxpayers send a blank check of military aid to the Israeli government that is being used to expand settlements, detain children, and occupy Palestinian territories. Our government should not be supporting the Israeli occupation or violence against the Palestinian people in any form. That's why we're asking you to join us and urge Congress to pass H.R. 2590 — to ensure that U.S. military aid to Israel isn’t used to further the occupation and violence against the Palestinian people.
The Israeli government’s continued civil and human rights violations against Palestinians remain an impediment to a future of enduring peace, prosperity, and security for both Palestinians and Israelis. That is why Congress must end the blank check of military aid that our taxpayers provide to the Israeli government.
For too long, Congress has looked the other way as Israel has used American military aid to support occupation and violence against the Palestinian people. But at this moment — as airstrikes, property destruction, and death tolls rise — we can’t be silent anymore. Will you take a moment to join us in the fight to pressure Congress to end unconditional military aid to Israel, and sign on to support H.R 2590?
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
