Block the Sale of Bombs and Bulldozers to the Israeli Government
As the Israeli government intensifies its war on Iran and expands violence in Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, and beyond, Congress must pass joint resolutions of disapproval to block any weapons sales that could deepen the suffering and destruction.
Why is this important?
While Trump and Israeli PM Netanyahu intensify their war on Iran, the Israeli government is also rapidly expanding multiple violent campaigns.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has called for the annexation of southern Lebanon as the Israeli military demolishes homes in Beirut. Settlers have violently attacked Palestinians in the West Bank while Israeli security forces stand by. In Gaza, humanitarian aid has again slowed as Israeli air strikes persist.
U.S. weapons fuel this violence, which means the U.S. government is complicit in this violence.
But this flow of weapons can be stopped. Sen. Bernie Sanders just introduced three joint resolutions of disapproval (JRD), which would block BILLIONS of dollars in munitions sales and more to the Israeli military.
Simply put, a ‘yes’ vote on these JRDs is a vote to save lives in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, and beyond. It’ll take a powerful coalition of senators willing to stop the U.S. blank check approach to make it happen — and building it requires constituents like you speaking out.
