Support Senator Sanders's vote to block Trump's weapons sale to Israel!
Petition to the U.S. Senate:
We urge you to support Senator Sanders's joint resolutions of disapproval to stop the latest $8.8 billion weapons sale to Israel.
The Senate will vote soon on whether or not to continue supplying Israel with bombs and artillery — all thanks to an effort by Senator Bernie Sanders to end American weapons transfers to Netanyahu’s government.1
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed over 50,000 Palestinians. The U.S. government has supported Netanyahu’s onslaught every step of the way. We need our lawmakers to make the moral choice and end weapons sales to Israel after so many months of carnage.
Sign the petition: Urge your Senators to vote THIS WEEK with Sen. Sanders and block Trump’s weapons sales to Israel!
Upon announcing his push to force a vote this week, Senator Sanders said Israel’s war “has been conducted almost entirely with American weapons and some $18 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars. Israel has dropped U.S.-provided 2,000-pound bombs into crowded neighborhoods, killing hundreds of civilians to take out a handful of Hamas fighters, and made little effort to distinguish between civilians and combatants. These actions are immoral and illegal.”2
The weapons sale Sen. Sanders and others are trying to stop includes almost $8.8 billion more in U.S. bombs and other munitions, including more than 35,000 massive 2,000-pound bombs.3
Any vote against Sen. Sanders’ resolutions is a vote to continue the American government’s full support for attacks on Gaza and the murder of tens of thousands of civilians.
Sign the petition: Urge Congress to oppose the Trump-Netanyahu weapons sale before an imminent vote in the Senate!
