Support Arms Embargo on Israel to Uphold Human Rights
To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Butler
From: A constituent in Citrus Heights, CA
September 26
The unwavering military support provided to Israel by the United States government is unacceptable and enables grave human rights violations against Palestinians. I implore you to support a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel to cease the flow of weapons fueling violent oppression and illegal occupation. Israel's brutal subjugation of Palestinians through demolitions of homes, extrajudicial killings, unjust detentions, and institutionalized discrimination violates international law and the core principles of human rights that the United States purports to uphold. It is a moral imperative that we halt all arms transfers and military funding that empower Israel's egregious abuses against a people struggling for freedom and self-determination. As your constituent, I urge you to take principled action to end complicity in these atrocities by backing a complete arms embargo on Israel.
