    Support Sen. Bernie Sanders's push to stop Trump's weapons sale to Israel

    Petition to Congress:
    We urge you to cosponsor the resolutions to halt a weapons sale to Israel.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu re-ignited the war on Gaza last week with airstrikes killing hundreds of Palestinians.1 Now, Israel is threatening a full ground invasion of Gaza.2 The lives of tens of thousands of Palestinians, if not more, are at stake.

    Yet, Trump is preparing to send $11 billion in more bombs and artillery to Netanyahu — continuing the U.S. government’s support for Israel’s siege on Gaza.

    Senator Bernie Sanders and members of the House led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal have introduced legislation to stop Trump’s weapons sales to Israel.3 We need our lawmakers to finally take a stand and stop the flow of American weapons fueling Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians.

    Sign the petition: End U.S. support for the war on Gaza — stop Trump’s weapons sale to Israel!

    A full ground invasion would be catastrophic for Palestinians. The situation is already dire with humanitarian aid halted to Gaza. An UNRWA official said, “This is the longest period since the start of conflict in October 2023 that no supplies whatsoever have entered Gaza.”4

    Our lawmakers must end U.S. funding and weapons support for the murder of Palestinian civilians.

    Sign the petition: Urge Congress to oppose Trump’s billions in weapons sales to Netanyahu.
