Gaza Crisis: Stop US Arms Supplies to Israel: Deadline: ASAP Online Action
Late
last week, tanks rolled into parts of Gaza as Israel stepped up
Operation 'Protective Edge'. Since the current military offensive began,
at least 375 Palestinians have been killed, 83 of them children. Thousands
of homes have been destroyed and families have been displaced. More
than half the population of Gaza is without water, compounding the
misery of civilians already suffering due to the ongoing blockade. With
the ground invasion, the number of civilian casualties and the
destruction of Gaza's already crippled infrastructure has increased. The
U.S. is by far the largest exporter of military, security and policing
equipment to Israel. The U.S. gives over $3 billion in annual "Foreign
Military Financing" to Israel alone. As long as there is a substantial
risk these arms will be used to commit the violations we're seeing now,
all arms supplies to Israel must stop. Click here to call on US Government to stop giving arms supplies to Israel.
