Halt Arms Transfers to Israel Until Rights Abuses End
To: Sen. Peters, Sen. Stabenow
From: A constituent in Ann Arbor, MI
November 20
The United States must immediately cease providing offensive weapons to Israel that enable human rights violations against Palestinian civilians. Recent evidence shows Israel has repeatedly used U.S.-supplied arms in indiscriminate attacks on densely populated areas, directly contravening the Foreign Assistance Act and the Arms Export Control Act. Furthermore, Israel's restrictions on humanitarian aid deliveries to Palestinians clearly violate Section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act. Continuing to approve arm sales despite these flagrant legal breaches is unacceptable. I urge you to take a principled stand, uphold U.S. laws, and block all future weapons transfers to Israel until it ends its oppressive policies and human rights abuses against the Palestinian people.
