Halt bomb shipments, prioritize diplomacy and peace in Gaza

The ongoing genocide in Gaza is deeply concerning and the civilian casualties are unacceptable. While the US has paused shipments of 2,000-pound bombs due to concerns over their use in densely populated areas, it has resumed sending 500-pound bombs to Israel. These weapons still have a devastating impact, with a blast radius of 20 meters that can cause severe harm or death. I urge you to reconsider supplying any munitions that enable further violence and suffering in Gaza. The priority must be de-escalation, protecting civilians, and pursuing a just and lasting peace through diplomacy and negotiations, not more weapons and warfare. I request that all bomb shipments to Israel be halted until concrete steps are taken to end the bloodshed and advance a resolution to this long-standing genocide.
