Israel's continued military occupation of Palestinian territories and the ongoing cycle of violence is devastating for all people in the region. As my representatives, I urge you to cosponsor and support legislation that prohibits U.S. military aid and arms transfers to Israel until verifiable conditions are met to uphold human rights and international law. Funding weapons that perpetuate oppression and enable flagrant violations of Palestinian rights is antithetical to American values of freedom and justice. My tax dollars should not subsidize suffocating blockades, home demolitions, illegal settlement expansion, or the killing of civilians. I request that you prioritize diplomacy, human rights, and a negotiated path to a just peace that upholds the equal rights, dignity and security of both Israelis and Palestinians. The status quo of unconditional military assistance is unsustainable and immoral. Act now to stop arming human rights abuses and chart a new course consistent with our principles.
