Dear Khani, As the US supplies Israel with billions in arms, US taxpayers foot the bill to slaughter Gaza and bombard Lebanon with 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs. Thumbing his nose at the world community, Israeli PM Netanyhau tells the UN that Israel will continue its attacks on Gaza and Lebanon amid its refusal to support a ceasefire. While protesters shouted “Free Palestine” outside the UN, several delegations walked out before Netanyhu could approach the podium. Israel’s recent military attacks on Hezbollah have left over 600 dead in Lebanon, and thousands wounded, and Netanyahu has refused international efforts to negotiate a 21-day pause. Meanwhile, in this country, Senator Bernie Sanders, with the support of Senators Merkley and Welsh, has introduced Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block certain weapons in a $20 billion arms package negotiated between the US and Israel. Join us for a conversation with Rania Khalek on how to disarm Israel to stop its genocide in Gaza and attacks on Lebanon. Chat with peacemakers and experts

Humanitarian aid is crucial for sustaining life in Gaza. Before Israel's current genocide campaign, around 500 aid trucks entered Gaza daily. In September of 2024, only 67 aid trucks entered Gaza — the lowest number since October 2023. By lying deliberately and repeatedly, Blinken broke U.S. law, and conspired with Israel to kill Palestinians through starvation and prohibiting access to medical care.It’s simple: Blinken lies, Palestinians die. Send a letter to Congress to demand that they call on Blinken to resign! We refuse to have an untrustworthy murderer as the U.S. Secretary of State!
