The indiscriminate use of weapons such as bunker busting bombs, small diameter bombs, and artillery ammunition against civilians is deeply concerning and violates humanitarian principles. This legislation aims to restrict the transfer of certain defense articles and services to Israel unless specific purposes are identified by law and assurances are provided that they will be used in accordance with international law. We must ensure U.S. arms transfers do not enable human rights abuses or perpetuate cycles of violence. By conditioning military aid on lawful and ethical use, this bill promotes accountability and encourages conflict resolution over escalation. Please stand up against human rights violations against Palestinian people and support HR 3565 or the Stop the Bombs Act. I urge you to support this measured approach to prioritize human rights and rule of law in our security cooperation. I know it is hard to stand up against the Israeli lobby but this is about halting a war on children elders and pregnant women.
