Dear John,

Today, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced a historic joint resolution of disapproval to stop a new $735 million weapons sale to Israel. Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced a companion resolution in the Senate that does the same.

Take action to demand Congress block this arms sale to Israel. [link removed]

Everyone deserves to live in safety and peace and have their human rights respected. But in recent days, Israeli military attacks on Gaza have killed at least 219 Palestinians, including 63 children, and injured over 1,600 more. Rocket fire from Gaza has killed 12 Israelis, including two children.

The killings and injuries in Gaza are the direct result of Israeli bombing which is carried out using aircraft and weapons sold by the U.S. and in part financed by the $3.8 billion in aid that the U.S. provides to Israel each year. Yet even after 10 days of bombing, the U.S. government has approved the sale of even more bombs.

It is this new sale of weapons to Israel that Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Sanders are seeking to stop, and they need your support.

Take action by contacting your representatives today to ask them to support the resolutions. [link removed]

Now is the time to work to ensure and sustain a cease-fire, not sell Israel more weapons.

Urge your representatives in Congress to support these resolutions! [link removed]

In peace,

Mike Merryman-Lotze, AFSC
