Sign the petition: Netanyahu celebrated Trump's win

 

TELL CONGRESS: Israeli PM Netanyahu celebrated Trump’s win. Trump spoke to Netanyahu about “Israel’s security” and the “Iranian threat.” If Congress doesn’t act now, the war on Gaza and Lebanon, and the prospects of wider war with Iran, will get much worse. Sign the petition: Support Bernie Sanders’s legislation to block weapons sales to Israel NOW.


The election of Donald Trump increases the threats of even greater violence against Palestinians and wider war with Iran.

Trump has told Netanyahu to “do what you have to do” on the battlefield.1 “I think he’s basically going to give Netanyahu a blank check,” said former defense secretary Leon Panetta.2

Senator Bernie Sanders is introducing legislation to block a $20 billion sale of weapons to Israel. Congress must make it law before it’s too late.

Sign the petition: Stop sending weapons to fuel Israel’s war on Gaza. Back Sen. Sanders’s legislation to block a $20 billion weapons sale to Israel.

Despite a year of devastating violence against the Palestinian people and Netanyahu’s continued rejection of peace agreements, the U.S. government is still sending weapons to Israel. And U.S. support for whatever Netanyahu wants to do will be even stronger with Trump in office.

Over 43,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s onslaught on Gaza — even so-called humanitarian zones are not safe for civilians. If our leaders want to end this war, stop a wider war with Iran, and halt the murder of so many innocent people, the Biden administration and Congress must act right now.

Sign the petition: Urge your lawmakers to support Bernie Sanders’s resolutions to block a $20 billion weapons sale to Israel.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
