    Block Trump from sending over 20,000 bombs to Israel

    Petition to Congress:
    I urge you to co-sponsor and vote for joint resolutions of disapproval to block the White House's unilateral shipments of over 20,000 bombs worth $660 million and bulldozers to Israel.

    The United Nations warned that Israel could be implementing the "Gaza model" in Lebanon as Israel's onslaught begins to resemble its genocidal campaign against Palestinians.1

    Senator Bernie Sanders is calling on Congress to stop Trump from sending over 20,000 bombs to fuel Israel's atrocities in Lebanon and continued airstrikes on Iran.2 Trump declared an "emergency" in order to rush this $660 million unilateral arms transfer to Israel — but Sen. Sanders plans to force a vote to stop it.3

    Sign the petition: Support Bernie Sanders's resolution to block Trump's "emergency" $660 million bomb shipment to Israel.

    Israel launched a ground invasion in southern Lebanon with plans to demolish the homes of 600,000 people and remain there as an occupying force.4,5 IDF attacks — including airstrikes on residential buildings in Beirut — have killed over a thousand civilians in Lebanon.6

    "Given the horrific destruction that Israel’s extremist government has wrought on Gaza, Iran and Lebanon, the last thing in the world that American taxpayers need to do right now is to provide 22,000 new bombs" to Israel, said Sen. Sanders when he introduced the resolutions to block weapons shipments to Israel. "No more weapons to support an illegal war."7

    The U.S. has already supported Israel’s violence and destruction in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran with tens of billions of dollars in funding and weapons. Congress must stop Trump from further fueling Israel’s aggression across the Middle East.

    Sign the petition: Block Trump from sending 20,000 bombs to Israel.
