Veterans say: "Stop arming Israel! Arms embargo now!"
Veterans play a powerful role in this fight and have a duty to oppose our government’s continued supplying of Israel’s genocide. The U.S. must stop arming Israel NOW.
By ABOUT FACE: VETERANS AGAINST THE WAR
As Veterans, family members and supporters, we are clear that Israel's devastating attacks on Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran are grossly beyond what any reasonable person could possibly construe as self-defense and in many cases constitute outright crimes against humanity.
In the past year alone, the Israeli government has carried out more than 17,000 attacks throughout the region and unleashed unspeakable violence against Palestinians with no end in sight.
Yet, over the last year, the U.S. has sent Israel $17.9 billion to enable the slaughter of at least 41,788 Palestinians and wounded 96,794 in the same time frame. As Veterans we are disgusted that our elected officials have failed to meaningfully intervene, and we are outraged that many have, in fact, directly profited from these horrors. To us, these actions can only be characterized as betrayal, cowardice, and abdication of duty.
Veterans play a powerful role in this fight and have a duty to oppose our government’s continued supplying of Israel’s genocide. The U.S. must stop arming Israel NOW. Veterans stand with the overwhelming majority of Americans who want to stop sending weapons to Israel. It is clear that Israel’s live-streamed genocide of Palestinians has been carried out in no small part due to the help of U.S. manufactured weapons and military aid.
