ACT NOW: BLOCK $8.8 BILLION IN WEAPONS TO ISRAEL

To: Sen. Blumenthal, Sen. Murphy

From: A verified voter in Waterbury, CT

March 28

Next week, the Senate will vote on **S.J.Res.26 and S.J.Res.33**, two Joint Resolutions of Disapproval that could **halt a massive $8.8 billion arms deal** to Israel. This includes: 🔴 **35,529 MK 84 or BLU-117 General Purpose bomb bodies** and **4,000 I-2000 Penetrator warheads**—2,000-pound bombs designed for mass destruction, worth $2.04 billion. 🔴 **2,166 GBU–39/B Small Diameter Bombs (SDBs), 2,800 MK 82 General Purpose 500-pound bombs, 17,479 JDAM Guidance Kits, and 17,475 FMU–152 A/B bomb fuzes**—all precision-guided tools of devastation. These are the very weapons **Israel is using to commit war crimes** in Gaza. **Since Israel broke the ceasefire on March 17, it has launched a genocidal assault, slaughtering nearly 800 Palestinians.** **Enough is enough.** Every bomb sent makes the U.S. complicit in ethnic cleansing, land theft, and crimes against humanity. **Every dollar in military aid fuels more atrocities.** **The American people demand an arms embargo NOW.** The more weapons we send, the more we endanger our own security. **Stop aiding genocide. Stop funding war crimes. Stop sending arms to Israel.** **VOTE YES on S.J.Res.26 and S.J.Res.33. BLOCK these weapons shipments. History is watching.**
