The Trump administration just bypassed Congress to sneak through an $8.5 BILLION arms deal for Israel and Gulf states. Buried in that deal is nearly a billion dollars’ worth of Advanced Precision Kill Weapon Systems for Israel.
The sale includes TEN THOUSAND of these deadly, offensive weapons. 10,000 more opportunities for Israel to kill with impunity, all with U.S.-made weaponry.
We can’t let this happen – not in our name. Bernie is calling on the U.S. to stop ALL weapons sales to Israel and he needs all of us with him.
Tell Congress: Follow Bernie’s lead and block this sale NOW. Click here to send your message.
Thanks to massive public outcry, the tide is turning on U.S. military support for Israel. Last month, after Bernie introduced a resolution to halt yet another weapons sale to Israel, most of the Democratic party stood with him. Only seven Democrats voted no. It’s a sea change, and Bernie is not stopping there.
That’s why the Trump administration went around Congress to fast-track this deal – hoping it could quietly push it through without the public noticing.
Let’s be clear: the Israeli government does not need more precision kill systems – it needs accountability. Every new weapon shipment makes our government complicit in ongoing war crimes. This sale is a death sentence for innocent people, funded by U.S. taxpayer dollars.
But Bernie is not backing down, and neither are we. Our Revolution members have sent thousands of emails calling on Congress to stop the endless supply of U.S. weapons to Israel, and thanks to that pressure, the dam is breaking. But if we stay quiet now, that courage could vanish under a tide of lobbyist money and back-room deals.
Take action now: Click here to demand that your members of Congress block these new deadly weapons for Israel.
This is the moment to show our movement’s power, to stand arm in arm with Bernie and demand an end to U.S. complicity in Israel’s violence. We can stop this. But only if we all raise our voices right now.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
