    End American support for the war on Gaza. Stop sending arms to the Israeli military!

    Petition to Congress and President Biden:
    We urge you to end funding and weapons shipments to Israel in order to save Palestinian lives, stop an all out war in the Middle East, and broker a ceasefire.

    After the United States approved another $20 billion arms sale to Israel,1 the death toll in Gaza surpassed 40,000 and an Israeli airstrike killed 18 Palestinians who were all members of the same family.2

    Israel has used U.S.-made weapons to bomb Gaza for months in violation of international law. Israel used at least one U.S.-made weapon when it killed nearly 100 people in an airstrike on a school in Gaza earlier this month.3 An Israeli airstrike that killed health workers in Lebanon in March used U.S. munitions.4

    Our leaders in the U.S. government must finally change policy to end American support for the atrocities against the Palestinian people.

    An Amnesty International report found a pattern of unlawful Israeli military attacks against Palestinians in Gaza using U.S. arms including an attack on Rafah in January that killed at least 95 people with a Boeing-made bomb.5

    Hamas' attacks beginning on October 7 must be condemned but Israel's response has been disproportionate and taken an extraordinary civilian toll — all while America has supplied the billions of dollars worth of weapons that Israel has used to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians.

    Congress and President Biden must use their leverage to end the Israeli military’s violence. Our leaders must stop supplying the Israeli military with weapons.
