A year ago today, Representatives Delia Ramirez, Sara Jacobs, Pramila Jayapal, and Mark Pocan, along with 18 of their colleagues, introduced the historic Block the Bombs Act (H.R. 3565) to prohibit the president from transferring seven specific weapons systems, which would amount to a partial arms embargo. This prohibition would include some of the very weapons that have been used by Israel to wipe out entire Palestinian families identified by Amnesty’s investigations.
Its passage would be a critical step towards stemming the flow of U.S. arms that are fueling these atrocities. It is the strongest bill that has been introduced in Congress to block arms transfers to Israel.
The bill is gaining real momentum, growing from 22 original co-sponsors to a total of 72 co-sponsors.
We can save lives by immediately suspending weapons transfers to the Israeli government and applying pressure to end Israel’s genocide, illegal occupation, and apartheid.
