A hard-fought pause in violence has unfortunately done little to abate the suffering in Gaza, as bombs continue to fall and the ceasefire agreement hangs on by barely a thread.

Recent Israeli military strikes across Gaza killed 104 people — including 46 children, some of whom were burned alive as they slept.

The violence marked the deadliest days yet since the October 10 “ceasefire” began — and the horrors continue to be carried out with U.S.-made weapons.

In the past two years, the U.S. government has sent $21.7 BILLION worth of military aid — combat capable aircrafts, attack and transport helicopters, tens of thousands of bombs, missiles, and bullets — to the Israeli government, plus arms sales worth tens of billions of dollars more in future weapons deliveries. The Netanyahu government is using these weapons to undermine the ceasefire at every turn and jeopardize the lives of millions of people across the region.

We CANNOT let this blank-check approach continue. The ceasefire agreement was cause for hope among leaders in Washington and beyond, but the killing hasn’t stopped — and this is no time for complacency. That’s why we need to sustain a message that they can’t turn away from, tens of thousands of activists strong, and demand NO more U.S. weapons sales to the Israeli government.
