Please call for a complete ceasefire & an embargo on arms to Israel.
To: V.P. Harris
From: A constituent in Sacramento, CA
August 21
I urge you to support a complete, permanent ceasefire along with a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel. Continued military aid and the provision of weapons from the United States enables Israel's assault and occupation of Palestinian territories.
This cycle of violence will never end unless concrete steps are taken to cut off the flow of arms fueling the conflict. An embargo would incentivize a political solution and bring all parties to the negotiating table on more equal terms.
The horrific human toll, particularly on civilians and children in Gaza, demands bold action. Upholding human rights and promoting a just peace should be our guiding principles.
I implore you to leverage America's influence by championing an arms embargo and a lasting ceasefire. Only then can we hope to break this tragic pattern of devastation and move towards a resolution grounded in dignity and self-determination for all.
