Stop arming Israel, end complicity in Palestinian human rights violations.

The United States and western Europe have critically evaluated their historical role in colonialism and imperialism. It's time for the United States to reassess its military assistance to Israel, which enables the Israeli military's documented violations of Palestinian human rights and the laws of armed conflict. A reevaluation and potential embargo on arms transfers could encourage positive change regarding the unacceptable civilian suffering of Palestinians. Personal growth requires admitting problems and taking decisive steps to uphold human rights and create a better future, ending the legacy of violence and prioritizing the rights of all people.
