Demand Progress

On Wednesday, 27 U.S. Senators voted to block another arms sale to Israel.¹ This is the most votes ever in the Senate for stopping arms sales to Netanyahu. But voted for the weapons sale and against justice, peace, and saving Palestinian lives.

Doctors warn that children in Gaza are suffering irreversible damage from Israel’s mass starvation of Palestinians.² Despite the global uproar against Israel’s blockade, Netanyahu’s regime continues to murder people in Gaza with U.S.-made bombs. It’s important that we show that we condemn their vote to send more U.S. support for the murder of Palestinians.

Express your disappointment: Tell that you condemn their vote to send more weapons to Israel.

A majority of Senators voted to allow more shipments of American-made weapons to Israel,³ even as Netanyahu’s military kills Palestinians waiting for food and water⁴ and continues the aid blockade that has led to so many in Gaza facing starvation.

This is what the U.S. government is backing when it sends billions in funding and arms to Israel. It’s supporting what Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have called a genocide.⁵

Senators who voted to send another arms shipment to Netanyahu directly supported Israel’s continued onslaught against the Palestinian people. We must show them that their constituents will not stand for it.

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