The United States should not be rubber-stamping weapons sales to the Israeli government as they deploy our resources to target international media outlets, schools, hospitals, humanitarian missions and civilian sites for bombing. We have a responsibility to protect human rights.

It must be said here - amplification is necessary but not sufficient. Traction on this issue is very dependent on your calls to Congress. Retweets aren’t enough. Call your member of Congress & let them know how you’d like to be represented on this matter: house.gov/representative

Some tips on calling Congressional offices: 1. Don’t be scared! Our lines exist to receive your calls. 2. Call YOUR member. The one who represents your district. Look it up in the above link. 3. Be KIND and clear. You can firmly state your position without being cruel.

You can also just block all bills till this is met, it's what you and the squad were elected into office to do, not just put the onus on voters when it's your job to wield the power you're elected to do!

Wow so a sitting member of Congress calling for the abandonment of our ally in the Mid East? Hmmmm let me think about this? If it was shariah law she wouldn’t be where she is…. #IsraelUnderFire

Not only should not "rubber stamp" these arms sales to Israel, we should never sell them weapons again. They are a predator nation.
