Sign the petition: Sen. Bernie Sanders will force vote THIS WEEK to block Trump's weapons sale to Israel

TELL THE U.S. SENATE: Israel's war on Gaza has killed over 50,000 Palestinians. Senator Bernie Sanders is pushing an effort this week to end U.S. weapons support for this slaughter. Sign the petition: Support Sen. Bernie Sanders's legislation to stop weapons sales to Israel!

Harris,

Senator Bernie Sanders said he's going to force a vote THIS WEEK in the Senate on stopping weapons sales to Israel.1

"The United States must not continue to supply endless amounts of military aid and weaponry to the Netanyahu government," Sen. Sanders said.2

Sen. Sanders's attempt last year to stop a U.S. weapons transfer to Netanyahu had historic support in the Senate, despite its failure. We need to build on that momentum and urge a majority of Congress to say No to Trump and Netanyahu.

Sign the petition: Urge your Senators to support the Sanders resolutions to stop Trump's sale of $8 billion in weapons to Israel.

Trump wants to send more 2,000-pound bombs to support Israel's aggression only weeks after discussing plans to displace all Palestinians from Gaza, develop the land, and take away the Palestinians' right to return to their homes.3

Any vote against Sen. Sanders' resolutions is a vote to continue the American government's full support for attacks on Gaza and the murder of tens of thousands of civilians.

Sign the petition: Urge Congress to oppose the Trump-Netanyahu weapons sale.

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
