Petition to Congress: We urge you to block the White House's latest unilateral "emergency" $992.4 million weapons sale to Israel.
|
Trump is trying to bypass Congress AGAIN to send Israel $1 billion worth of weapons. This time it's 10,000 laser-guided rockets equipped with the U.S.'s Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System.
The White House declared an "emergency" to skip Congressional oversight and send arms to Israel as the Israeli military commits atrocities in Lebanon and Gaza.
Senator Bernie Sanders has helped build historic opposition in Congress to our government's continued funding and weapons support for Israel. Our lawmakers must reject more taxpayer dollars and U.S. arms going to fuel Israel's genocidal violence.
Sign the petition: Block Trump from sending 10,000 laser-guided precision kill rockets to Israel.
Israel has killed over 2,500 people in Lebanon since early March, including dozens of people since reaching a so-called ceasefire deal. Israel is destroying villages and occupying parts of southern Lebanon.
"The fate of southern Lebanon will be the same as that of Gaza," said the Israeli defense minister recently. This is the terror Trump and Congress are supporting when the U.S. government sends weapons to Israel.
In addition to making the moral case against supplying weapons for Israel's atrocities in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, Sen. Sanders has also noted that sending weapons to Israel is a violation of American law — "our government cannot provide weapons to any country that violates internationally recognized human rights or prohibits the delivery of U.S. humanitarian aid."
Congress must prevent Trump from sending more military aid to Israel NOW.
Sign the petition: Block Trump from sending 10,000 rockets to Israel.
