Gaza Crisis: Stop US Arms Supplies to Israel: Deadline: ASAP

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.

On Friday (7/19/2014), the US Senate voted 100-0 to support Israel’s invasion of Gaza. So far, over 500 Palestinians have been killed. Click here to tell President Obama and your elected officials stop funding this massacre.
