After Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered his military to “increase the blows” in Lebanon, Israeli forces launched more than 100 strikes.

As the Israeli Defense Minister promises that “the fate of southern Lebanon will be the same as that of Gaza,” we cannot stay silent. The U.S. government holds unique leverage to stop the violence, and a growing coalition in Congress is this close to using it.

It can’t happen soon enough. The humanitarian consequences of this months-long military assault are already dire. Thousands have been killed. One in four people in Lebanon faces acute food insecurity. More than 1 million have been displaced from their homes. Families are living in tents because there is nowhere safe left to return to. And now the crisis is accelerating — driven by U.S.-made weapons.

Rep. Delia Ramirez’s Block the Bombs Act would prohibit the White House from selling, transferring, or licensing key offensive weapons to the Israeli government unless human rights conditions are met. Today, we’re asking you to contact your lawmakers to demand they do everything in their power to stop the war in Lebanon and end U.S. complicity in the Israeli military’s violence. Blocking the bombs is a crucial part of the plan.
