The killing in Gaza hasn’t stopped

 

A hard-fought pause in violence has unfortunately done little to abate the suffering in Gaza, as bombs continue to fall and the ceasefire agreement hangs on by barely a thread.

Days ago, Israeli military strikes across Gaza killed 104 people — including 46 children, some of whom were burned alive as they slept.[1]

The violence marked the deadliest days yet since the October 10 “ceasefire” began — and the horrors continue to be carried out with U.S.-made weapons.

In the past two years, the U.S. government has sent $21.7 BILLION worth of military aid — combat capable aircrafts, attack and transport helicopters, tens of thousands of bombs, missiles, and bullets — to the Israeli government, plus arms sales worth tens of billions of dollars more in future weapons deliveries.[2] The Netanyahu government is using these weapons to undermine the ceasefire at every turn and jeopardize the lives of millions of people across the region.

We CANNOT let this blank-check approach continue. The ceasefire agreement was cause for hope among leaders in Washington and beyond, but the killing hasn’t stopped — and this is no time for complacency. That’s why we need to sustain a message that they can’t turn away from, tens of thousands of activists strong, and demand NO more U.S. weapons sales to the Israeli government.

Will you send an urgent message to Congress demanding they STOP arming the Israeli government and end U.S. complicity in the violence in Gaza and beyond?

ACT NOW

Even as a fragile ceasefire took hold last month, Netanyahu’s government has kept up the violence — while blocking critical humanitarian aid and making clear it has no intention of ending the occupation. The Israeli military seems poised to continue to act with impunity, confident in its U.S. support.

Human rights groups — and even the U.S. government itself — have repeatedly documented that attacks by the Israeli government, often carried out with U.S.-made bombs, violate international law and target civilians.

And now, a classified report by a U.S. government watchdog has confirmed what many have been shouting for years: Israeli military units have committed “many hundreds” of potential violations of U.S. human rights law in Gaza.

According to two U.S. officials who described the findings to The Washington Post, the report is so extensive it would take the State Department “multiple years” to review.[3] Many of the credible allegations in the report should have triggered an immediate cutoff of arms under U.S. law — yet weapons to the Israeli government continue to flow.

If the U.S. truly wants peace, we must stop arming this war. Every single message to Congress right now is a lifeline — a reminder that the public is still watching, that we refuse to see another U.S.-backed bombing campaign destroy lives. Please act now.

Send a message to your members of Congress calling on them to stop sending weapons to the Israeli government:

Tireless advocacy and lengthy negotiations resulting in a ceasefire were supposed to save lives, to reunite prisoners with their families, to stop the suffering. People in Israel, Palestine, and around the world deserve a lasting, sustainable peace.

But it remains clear that if we want to stop this cycle of endless violence, we need to cut off the weapons that make it possible, Tony.

We’ll continue to turn the tide on a status quo that allows for wars like the one we’re witnessing — by centering human rights, justice, accountability, and healing — and by doing it together.
