Israel has unleashed a relentless bombing campaign on Gaza City while the entire Palestinian population of Gaza starves due to Israel's ongoing blockade on humanitarian aid.1
Then yesterday, in a shockingly brazen attack on a U.S. ally, Israel bombed the host of ceasefire talks in an illegal attempt to kill the Palestinian negotiators.2
Yes, you read the right: Israel bombed the ceasefire negotiators.
Benjamin Netanyahu is utterly out of control, but Israel's atrocities in Gaza would end tomorrow if the U.S. cut off military aid for Israel's war on Gaza.
Demand Progress has mobilized tens of thousands of people in support of the "Block the Bombs Act," which would do just that — and we're gaining support in Congress every day. Now we urgently need your help to turn up the heat.

More than 64,000 Palestinians have been confirmed killed since the start of Israel's war on Gaza, the overwhelming majority civilians, women, and children.3
Thousands more are presumed dead and buried under rubble, while independent studies say that the total number who have died from all war-related causes, including malnutrition, could be more than twice as high.4
The U.N. has confirmed that Gaza is in the grip of a man-made famine due to Israel's ongoing blockade of thousands of aid trucks filled with food at the border.5
And now, after Israel bombed the capital of Qatar, the U.S. ally that had been mediating ceasefire talks, the hopes for any negotiated peace are dimmer than ever.6
In response to Israel's latest crimes, Bernie Sanders condemned the government of Benjamin Netanyahu as "completely out of control," and even MAGA Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined his call to end military aid to Israel.7
But instead, congressional leaders are pushing legislation to authorize several hundred million more in additional aid to Israel, including what's being called AI-enhanced "genocide technology."8
It's up to us to speak out and demand that Congress finally stops using our taxpayer dollars to starve Palestinian children.
With gratitude,
The team at Demand Progress Action
