Block Biden's $8 billion weapons sale to Israel
Petition to Congress:
We urge you to oppose the proposed $8 billion weapons sale to Israel. We also urge you to support a ceasefire peace deal.
President Biden’s last policy action on Israel-Gaza could be sending another $8 billion in weapons to Netanyahu’s military.1
Every step of the way, the Biden administration has supported Israel’s war on Gaza with funding and weapons. Now, even as ceasefire negotiators believe that they’re close to a peace deal between Israel and Hamas, Biden is trying to send more drones, 500-pound warheads and Hellfire AGM-114 missiles to Netanyahu.2
More than 46,000 people are dead in Gaza.3 The United States should not fuel any further violence against the Palestinian people.
Sign the petition: Urge Congress to oppose Biden’s $8 billion weapons sale to Israel!
Senator Bernie Sanders tried to stop the last weapons sale to Israel. His resolutions received record support in the Senate for measures looking to limit weapons transfers to Israel, but ultimately failed. Sanders is doubling down and says the U.S. shouldn’t be sending any more bombs to Netanyahu.4
We need to build on this momentum to change the U.S.’s role in Gaza. We need Congress to stand up and prevent another round of fighter jets, attack helicopters and artillery shells from helping Netanyahu wage wars against innocent people.
Sign the petition: Urge your lawmakers to oppose sending more weapons to fuel Israel’s violence in Gaza. Support a ceasefire now.
