I am writing to demand immediate support for the updated Lebanon War Powers Resolution, H.Con.Res.108, and any Senate companion legislation to remove U.S. forces from unauthorized hostilities in Lebanon and stop U.S. participation in Israel’s war. Congress has not authorized war in Lebanon. The President has no right to provide Israel with weapons, intelligence, logistics, targeting support, command coordination, or military cover for an assault that is killing civilians, emptying villages, destroying homes, and risking a wider regional war. Recent reporting from Drop Site News makes clear how urgent this is. In Ain Arab, Israeli soldiers reportedly went door to door, forced residents from their homes at gunpoint, told them they were inside Israel’s unilateral “yellow line,” and expelled families so quickly that many could not even lock their doors. Residents were told to leave immediately or die. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced in Lebanon since March 2. Drop Site also reports that Tyre/Sour has become an epicenter of Israel’s assault. Israel issued displacement orders for the entire city, bombed residential areas, killed civilians, wounded many more, destroyed homes and businesses, and drove thousands more people north. One strike killed three people, injured at least 17, and destroyed an entire residential block. This is not a “ceasefire.” It is a war on civilians, and the United States must not be part of it. I urge you to support H.Con.Res.108, introduce and pass a Senate companion, and oppose any U.S. role in Israel’s assault on Lebanon. No weapons, no intelligence sharing, no logistics, no military coordination, no diplomatic cover, and no U.S. troops in unauthorized hostilities. Members of Congress who voted no on H.Con.Res.84 must correct course immediately. Congress must reassert its war powers, stop enabling Israel’s war crimes, demand Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanese territory, and support humanitarian and reconstruction aid for the people of Lebanon. Stop U.S. complicity. Support the Lebanon War Powers Resolutions now.
