Block Weapons to Israel: Vote YES on JRDs to Block Weapons to Israel Israel has committed mass atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza over the last two years. This includes countless massacres, forced displacement, field executions, torture camps, total infrastructure destruction, forced starvation, and burning alive Palestinians like 19-year-old Sha'ban al-Dalou. This is a genocide, fueled by tens of thousands of U.S. bombs and at least $18 billion of our tax dollars sent to the Israeli military in 2024 in violation of U.S. and international law. Now, Israel has shifted its military focus to the West Bank. Representative Pramila Jayapal has introduced H.J.Res.68 to block 10,000 155mm artillery shells to Israel—the exact weapons fueling violence and displacement across Palestine. I’m a constituent and part of the majority of U.S. voters who support withdrawing military funding from Israel. The only way to stop the killing, from Palestine to Lebanon and beyond, is to cut off the endless and unconditional supply of U.S. weapons and military funding fueling Israel’s atrocities. That starts with blocking the $8 billion weapons package to Israel. As a voter, your constituent, and a supporter of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action (USCPR Action), I urgently ask you to: 1. Vote YES on H.J.Res.68 to block 10,000 artillery shells to Israel 2. Support an immediate arms embargo to halt all weapons to Israel 3. Enforce U.S. law that prohibits military funding for human rights violations 4. Push for real ceasefire compliance, including ending the blockade so rebuilding can begin 5. Demand unhindered humanitarian access to Gaza and the West Bank Israel’s repeated gross violations using U.S. weapons have been vastly documented and cited as acts of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes—like 120 millimeter tank rounds used in the killing of 6-year-old Hind Rajab, her family, and paramedics on January 29, 2024, GBU-39 Boeing bombs used in the Rafah tent massacre on May 26, 2024, and JDAMs to bomb a mosque and school in central Gaza on October 5, 2024. I urge you to support halting all weapons and military funding to Israel now. Urgent action is needed to protect Palestinian, Lebanese, and other communities in the region, including U.S. citizens, whose lives are at stake.
