- Abstract
In response to proposed bills in the House and Senate that would provide billions of dollars in unconditional weapons aid to Israel, IfNotNow, a movement of American Jews, has issued a statement expressing their opposition. They argue that it is unacceptable to provide weapons to the Israeli military while Palestinians in Gaza are being killed, and they believe that this funding for war will lead to further conflict, increase anti-Semitism and anti-Palestinian racism, and undermine faith in Democratic leadership. IfNotNow urges Members of Congress to vote against these measures and supports Senator Sanders' amendment to cut the proposed funding.
