**Subject:** Urging an End to U.S. Weapon Sales to Israel

Dear Vice President Harris,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern over the ongoing U.S. military support to Israel, particularly the continued sales of weapons. As an American citizen, I am troubled by our country’s role in supplying arms to a government that continues to enforce policies and actions widely regarded as constituting apartheid against the Palestinian people.
The U.S. has long championed itself as a beacon of human rights and justice, yet our support for Israel’s military occupation undermines these very principles. The disproportionate use of force, illegal settlements, and systematic discrimination against Palestinians are in direct violation of international law and the values we hold dear.
As the world watches the suffering of the Palestinian people, it is imperative that the United States reassesses its role in this conflict. By continuing to provide weapons to Israel, we are complicit in the perpetuation of violence and the suppression of basic human rights. This is not in line with the ethical standards that our country strives to uphold.
I urge you, as Vice President, to advocate for an immediate cessation of U.S. weapon sales to Israel. Our nation should instead focus on promoting peace, justice, and the protection of human rights for all people in the region. The United States has the power to be a force for good, and we must use that power to support efforts toward a just and lasting peace in Israel and Palestine.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I hope you will consider the moral implications of our continued support for Israel’s military actions and take a stand for justice and human dignity.
