Yesterday, we witnessed Israel’s further attack on Gazans and the ongoing disregard for the ceasefire. These attacks have taken the lives of  more than 400 Palestinians, many of whom were sleeping when the carpet bombing began. ADC continues to call for an immediate suspension of aid to Israel and any military assistance from the United States. 

Since taking office, President Trump has approved nearly $12 billion in major FMS sales to Israel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a declaration on March 1 to deliver approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. Both the Biden and Trump Administrations have made it abundantly clear that Israel’s greatest ally is the United States. As Americans currently suffer from rising inflation costs, unprecedented unemployment rates, and a misinformation war, American tax dollars are going to fund the genocide in Gaza. 

Senator Bernie Sanders has filed four Joint Resolutions of Disapproval (JRDs) that would block the sale of $8.56 billion in offensive weaponry to Israel. The export of these weapons would be used against Gaza and Lebanon, who have suffered tens of thousands of deaths since October 7. 2023. 

“Tragically, much of this carnage has been carried out with American bombs and weapons,” Sanders continued. “Netanyahu has used our bombs to damage or destroy almost 70 percent of the structures in Gaza, including hundreds of schools. All of this has been done in clear violation of U.S. and international law. With Trump and Netanyahu openly talking about forcibly displacing millions of Palestinians from Gaza – in other words, ethnic cleansing – it would be unconscionable to provide more of the bombs and weapons Israel has used to kill so many civilians and make life unlivable in Gaza.” 

As the attack on Gazans wages on, we must do our part. We demand that Congress block weapons sales to Israel and put an end to what this is: an ethnic cleansing and genocide.
