76 years of the Nakba: Tell President Biden and Congress: Stop arming genocide!

Loading....

Since October, Israel has murdered over 42,000+ Palestinians in Gaza including 16,000+ children, and thousands more are unaccounted for under the rubble. An estimated 1.5 million Palestinians have fled their homes and are sheltering in Rafah. They are facing violent Israeli bombardment and many are on the brink of starvation because Israel has blocked food, water, and medical supplies.

But the U.S. government is still arming Israel despite grave violations of U.S. and international law. Tell President Biden and Congress: Stop arming genocide!

President Biden has paused some arms shipments but is still poised to send others. On May 11, House Republicans introduced a bill that would force the U.S. State Department to send weapons to Israel, no matter what. The American public has made it clear that we do not want any more of our tax dollars funding genocide.

Take action today and tell Congress and President Biden to stop arming genocide. Additionally, we’ve partnered with other Pro-Palestine organizations and created a toolkit for you to take action throughout the week.

Israel rejected a ceasefire deal and began a full-scale assault on the 1.5 million civilians in Rafah. Palestinians in Rafah are sheltering in tents and are on the brink of starvation due to Israel’s consistent blockading of food, water, and medical supplies from entering Gaza. We cannot be silent in the face of an ongoing genocide. Tell Congress and President Biden to stop arming genocide and pressure Israel for a permanent ceasefire NOW.

We just need few pieces of information to connect you with your representatives.

I'd like to receive updates from this organization

Tell Congress: Stop arming genocide!

Subject: Uphold U.S. Laws and Values, Stop Arming Genocide

Message:

Dear Congressperson, As we commemorate 76 years of the ongoing Nakba, Palestinian lives are on the line in Rafah, throughout Gaza, and across the West Bank. I’m writing to you as my elected representative to ask that you support the immediate end of military funding and weapons shipments to Israel in cooperation with U.S. and International law. According to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, since October, Israel has murdered over 42,000+ Palestinians in Gaza including 15,000+ children, and thousands more are unaccounted for under the rubble. An estimated 1.5 million Palestinians were forced to flee their homes and find shelter in Rafah. On May 5th, Israel launched a full-scale military invasion of Rafah –in direct violation of the International Court of Justice’s orders– to forcibly remove the 1.5 million Palestinians sheltering, including 600,000 children, despite months of displacing Palestinians there while claiming it is safe. That is on top of 7 mass graves discovered with more than 700 murdered Palestinians at the al-Shifa and Nasser hospitals and the reports of Palestinian boys and men stripped naked in the cold and severely tortured by Israeli soldiers in concentration camps. Since October, U.S.-made weapons have been used to commit grave war crimes against Palestinians, in violation of both U.S. and international law. Our government must immediately cease all military funding and stop all weapons transfers to the Israeli military. In addition, I ask you to oppose the dangerous and irresponsible “Israel Security Assistance Support Act.” This bill would keep arming Israel despite the ongoing genocide and force U.S. taxpayers to continue bankrolling atrocities. Instead, the U.S. must immediately carry out its moral and legal obligation to suspend weapons transfers to Israel and enforce all U.S. laws violated by Israel. The only way to put an end to the ongoing atrocities is through an immediate, and permanent ceasefire, as supported by a 67% majority of the American public and at least 87 members of Congress, and a complete halt to sending weapons to Israel. I am horrified and heartbroken that my government is using my tax dollars to fund Israel’s mass murder and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. I call on you to stand on the right side of history and abide by human rights standards by immediately suspending all military funding and arms transfers to Israel, restoring funding to UNRWA, and calling on President Biden to demand and facilitate an immediate and permanent ceasefire. Sincerely,
