It is not just Israelis committing these horrors – *US contractors are guilty of this atrocity, too. In addition, our government pays for the bullets, bombs, military equipment, and surveillance technology – we sent more than *$17 billion to Israel in 2024. This genocide is our tax dollars at work.

Our legislators –and our president – have the power to end our complicity in this horror. They are able to pressure Israel into reversing course by introducing a bill tomorrow to end all military – and other – aid to Israel unless the blockade is lifted, humanitarian relief is allowed into Gaza, and the human rights violation and war crimes cease.

We have to ask: if the United States has the power to stop a genocide, why won’t we?
