85% of the Senate’s Democratic caucus, a record 40 senators, voted to halt the sale of armored bulldozers to the Israeli government last week. It’s a key step toward ending U.S. complicity in the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza, illegal annexations in the West Bank, and its deadly invasion into southern Lebanon.
Turning the tide on the Senate’s blank check approach to the Israeli government is just one phase. Now, we have to build on this power and BLOCK U.S. weapons from reaching the Israeli military.
To secure the majority needed to achieve those victories, it’s imperative that we let this group of 40 senators know that we see and appreciate their votes. When senators know groups like ours and people like you have their backs, it creates the political space for more lawmakers to join them in rejecting the status quo and ending U.S. complicity in the Israeli government’s violence.
