Stop approving weapons transfers to Israel. The images and casualty counts coming out of Gaza make clear that U.S.-supplied arms are being used in ways that violate both international humanitarian law and our own Arms Export Control Act, which prohibits weapons transfers to countries credibly accused of human rights violations. You have the authority to act on this, and I expect you to use it.
Every shipment that goes through while civilians are being killed makes the United States complicit. I want you to call for an immediate suspension of all weapons sales and military aid to Israel until there is a credible, independent accounting of how prior transfers have been used. This is not a fringe position — it is a legal and moral obligation.
