ISRAEL IS BOMBING OTHER NATIONS & RISKING AN EXPANSION OF THE
CONFLICT TO DRAW THE U.S. INTO ANOTHER ENDLESS WAR!
IT'S TIME TO STOP SUPPORTING THE CORRUPT, LYING NETANYAHU WHO
IS KILLING TO STAY OUT OF PRISON!
This weekend’s tit-for-tat strikes across Israel and Lebanon have us on edge.
Right now millions of people — across Palestine, Israel, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and more, along with those stationed on U.S. bases and ships in the region — are at incredible risk.
By failing to apply the pressure necessary to save lives the U.S. government is hardly using the enormous influence it could to open a path to peace. Right now, multiple diplomatic tools remain at the president’s disposal like sanctioning Israeli public officials for inciting settler violence and obstructing justice, enforcing U.S. laws requiring recipients of U.S. weapons to allow the flow of humanitarian aid, suspending shipments of offensive weapons that can be used to harm innocent people, and more.
But that can change — and your voice is a critical piece of the puzzle.
For 325 days and counting, too many people continue to wake up unsure of what tomorrow will bring. But activists like you refuse to accept a world where people are at risk of violence and suffering. That’s why we know a different path is possible.

So far, a larger, more devastating all-out war between Hezbollah and the Israeli government seems to have been avoided. Still, the possibility the situation will escalate again is terrifyingly high — particularly as we continue to await the Iranian government's response to the Haniyeh assassination.
The suffering we’ve witnessed so far is incalculable, but if things deteriorate further, it will skyrocket exponentially. Full-scale wars between the governments of Israel and Iran or the Israeli government and Hezbollah would be catastrophic — and are highly likely to draw in the U.S. government and military even more directly. Millions of lives would be in incredible danger. Many hundreds of thousands of people could be killed.
There are no military solutions to this crisis, only diplomatic ones. The U.S. government needs to bring more pressure to bear to do all it can to end the violence.
Our work won’t stop until the U.S. government is using ALL its influence for good, until every hostage taken by Hamas returns to their families, until the Israeli government’s war in Gaza ends, and until we’ve found our way back to a pathway to a sustainable peace in Israel, Palestine, and beyond.
As hard as it is to keep engaging with the horror of this conflict, when people turn away, the cycle of violence can continue. That’s why we’re reaching out: When folks like us speak up, we remind the world — and decision-makers in DC — that it's time to reject a false choice between more bombs and nothing.
As the crisis continues, the despair only deepens, but the stakes are only getting higher. Together, we not only reckon with so much pain and suffering — we continue to build something better from it: A world where we can all live and thrive without the threat of violence.
We’re so grateful for the ways, big and small, you join us in this urgent effort every day.
Thank you for working for peace,
