Israel has repeatedly and systematically targeted civilians in Gaza using US supplied weapons, destroying civilian infrastructure, homes, schools and universities, hospitals, mosques and churches, and temporary shelters in so-called “safe zones“ in Gaza. In addition, Israel’s deliberate use of starvation as a weapon of war, alongside its denial of water, electricity, and medical supplies, constitute grave violations of international humanitarian law.
It is against US law to send a single weapon to any country grossly violating human rights. 61% of Americans say they want to cut off weapons to Israel. Our tax dollars can’t be used for another illegal, immoral, weapons giveaway. I urge the Senator to sponsor and vote for the joint resolutions of disapproval to block $20 billion in weapons to Israel.
