Sign the petition: Trump to send Israel nearly $1 billion in precision kill weapons

LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST KILLING INNOCENT 

VICTIMS! 

ARMING ISRAEL IS NOT A SOLUTION! 


TELL Congress: Trump declared an "emergency" to bypass Congress and send Israel over 10,000 laser-guided rockets. But support is building in Congress to stop arms sales to Israel. Sign the petition: Oppose Trump’s "emergency" precision kill weapons shipment 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.1,2

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.3

Senator Bernie Sanders has helped build historic opposition in Congress to our government's continued funding and weapons support for Israel.4 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.5

"The fate of southern Lebanon will be the same as that of Gaza," said the Israeli defense minister recently.6 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."7,8

Congress must prevent Trump from sending more military aid to Israel NOW.

Sign the petition: Block Trump from sending 10,000 rockets to Israel.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress

  LAST 2 WEEKS IN REVIEW I’m your Representative in Congress and I write to keep you informed. The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy A junior varsity national security team  No one is above the law, or below it  Big ideas to govern better Hitting back on behalf of scientists Meeting with constituents in the MA-04   The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy   WSJ’s “dumbest trade war in history”:  The president announced sweeping tariffs this week, which amount to a $500+ billion tax hike on everyday Americans. The tariffs were calculated  nonsensically  and communicated incoherently. There is robust debate between policymakers and economists about how tariffs might help America, but every serious participant in that debate recognizes that the chaos of this tariff roll-out will cause pain for businesses, families, and allies alike.  I have often joined the tariff debate, generally arguing for free trade with the exception of Chin...

The Three Huge Lies Trump is Telling Republican Senators about his Medicaid Cuts — to finance a big tax cut mostly for the wealthy Robert Reich Jun 3 Friends, Trump is busily working the Senate this week in an effort to get his Big Ugly Bill across the finish line. Given the Republican’s close margin in the Senate, he can afford to lose only three Republican senators. But Republican senators don’t like the idea of cutting Medicaid — many of their constituents depend on it — and they’re balking at the huge deficit-busting price tag (which, of course, includes a giant tax cut mostly for the wealthy). I think what Senate Republicans are most afraid of is the way this will  look  to the average American — a Republican reverse Robin-Hood strategy of taking from the poor and working class (mostly in Medicaid cuts but also Food Stamps and other programs they depend on) in order to finance a tax cut for the rich, while  still  busting the budget. In essence, then, the que...
