TAKE ACTION FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

HELP BLOCK THE BOMBS WITH THIS LIFESAVING BILL

The world may be calling this a “ceasefire,” but Palestinians in Gaza are still being killed, starved, and displaced. Israel’s genocide continues. Even now, Israeli forces continue unlawful attacks and block lifesaving aid – using weapons supplied by the U.S.

The Block the Bombs Act (H.R. 3565) would prohibit the president from selling or transferring some of the very weapons Amnesty has documented being used by Israel to kill and maim entire Palestinian families.

The bill started with 22 original co-sponsors and has jumped to 62! Add your voice to help push it forward. Act now: Urge your U.S. representative to co-sponsor the Block the Bombs Act and stop U.S. weapons from fueling genocide.

Dear Representative,

I am writing to you as a member of Amnesty International USA with deep concern about Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip – which has not stopped, even after the announcement of a so-called ceasefire.

As Israel's top arms supplier, the U.S. government is uniquely positioned to bring an end to Israel's genocide.

Amnesty International’s research has concluded that Israeli authorities have committed and are continuing to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, including by deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction. Civilians continue to be unlawfully attacked, lifesaving aid is still being blocked, and children are starving and freezing amid mass forced displacement and destruction.

The U.S. House of Representatives has both the power and the responsibility to act. I urge you to co-sponsor the Block the Bombs Act (H.R. 3565), which would prohibit the sale or transfer of specific U.S. weapons: including bunker-busting bombs, JDAMs, artillery ammunition, and white phosphorus that Amnesty has documented being used in unlawful attacks and war crimes in Gaza. Continuing to supply these weapons places the U.S. at serious risk of complicity in genocide and other serious violations of international law. Congress must enforce its oversight to ensure the U.S. complies with its obligations under U.S. and international law, including the Genocide Convention.

If you already support the Block the Bombs Act, I thank you and urge you to continue pressing for its passage and for an immediate suspension of all sales and transfers of U.S. weapons, munition, and military/security equipment to Israel, including the provision of training and other military and security assistance.

I urge you to stand on the right side of history by supporting the Block the Bombs Act and working to end Israel’s genocide, the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory, and apartheid.

Sincerely,
