Demand Progress

Last week, 40 U.S. Senators voted to block yet another Trump arms shipment to Israel — the most votes ever in the Senate to stop the U.S. from sending weapons to Israel.¹ But voted in favor of the weapons shipment, and so voted to continue fueling Israel's atrocities in Lebanon, Iran, and Gaza.

Israel's strikes on civilian areas in Lebanon have killed more than 2,000 people. Israel has displaced 1.2 million people and continues to destroy and occupy southern Lebanon.^2,3 The United Nations and advocates warn that Israel is using its "Gaza model" of genocidal violence against the people of Lebanon.⁴ This is what the U.S. government is backing when it sends billions in funding and arms to Israel.

It’s important that we show that we condemn their vote to provide more U.S. support for Israel's atrocities.

Hold your lawmaker accountable: Tell that you condemn their vote to send more weapons to Israel.

Our taxpayer dollars are going directly to fuel atrocities in Lebanon and genocidal violence in Gaza, as well as the reckless U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

Trump tried to bypass Congress to send bombs and bulldozers to Israel. Senator Bernie Sanders forced a vote on resolutions to stop Trump, but despite progress on the issue, a majority of Senators like voted in support of illegal U.S. and Israeli military violence. We must show them that their constituents will not stand for it.

Sign the petition: Tell that we condemn their vote in favor of sending more weapons to Israel.
