Another moment of celebration has become one of mourning, as people gathered to celebrate the end of Ramadan. Over one weekend alone, Israeli military strikes in Gaza killed dozens of people huddled in encampments. Many of the dead are women and children.
It’s rarely been more clear that more bombs won’t bring the remaining hostages back home to their loved ones or build a path to peace.
No matter: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has abandoned a life-saving ceasefire for continued suffering and violence. Trump would fuel the horrors with BILLIONS of dollars worth of U.S.-made bombs, missiles, and bullets.
Members of Congress should act to BLOCK this sale immediately — and they’ll soon get the chance to do just that as Sen. Bernie Sanders is forcing a vote on two joint resolutions of disapproval (JRDs) that could stop the sale in its tracks this week.
Passing these bills will be anything but easy and today, we have a choice: Allow Trump and PM Netanyahu to bulldoze and bomb their way forward or demand a new path.
Sign now and urge the Senate to vote YES on the JRDs, BLOCK billions of dollars in offensive weapons from making their way to the Israeli government, and END a horrible pattern of U.S. complicity.
