    Vote YES to expose Israel's violence and human rights abuses in the West Bank!

    Petition to the U.S. Senate:
    We urge you to vote Yes on S.Res.852, the 502B privileged resolution requiring the Department of State to report to Congress on increasing violence in the West Bank, including Israel's killings of Americans in the West Bank, and its abuse of Palestinian children in military detention.

    Israel's far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said over the weekend that the Israeli military should go to war in the West Bank and "do there what we did in Gaza."1

    Senators Bernie Sanders and Chris Van Hollen are forcing an imminent vote to end violent Israeli impunity in the West Bank.2

    Over 20 Senators are backing the resolution to hold Israel accountable for its daily settler attacks on Palestinians. Congress will vote THIS WEEK and our lawmakers must put an end to U.S. complicity in Israel’s crimes in the West Bank.

    Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to vote YES this week to expose human rights violations in the West Bank and hold Israel accountable!

    Sen. Sanders said, "Every day, Palestinians in the West Bank experience horrific violence at the hands of Israeli settlers and security forces — and for years, the Israeli government has offered impunity instead of accountability."3

    Israeli settlers and security forces have killed 9 Americans in the West Bank in the last four years, but no one has been held accountable. The UN estimates that Israeli settlers, backed by Israel's security forces, led 6 violent assaults on Palestinians or their property every single day this year.4,5

    It's clear why 84% of voters support the Sanders-Van Hollen resolution.6 Exposing Israel's atrocities and holding settlers accountable is an important step towards real justice and safety for Palestinians.
