Since 2023, over 1,100 Palestinians and 9 US citizens have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers. Israel is also the only country in the world to routinely place children in military detention, where abuse is systematic. All of this happens with US support and zero accountability.

While America's friends on the world stage are choosing to enforce international law against Israel's theft of Palestinian land, our government is still violating its own laws in order to support those crimes with billions of dollars in weapons. It's time to cut Israel off & stand with our allies.

Israel used this US-provided MK-84 2,000 pound bomb to kill two girls, ages 8 and 12, and their two parents yesterday in Gaza. Trump has given Israel over 35,000 MK-80 series bombs since taking office, costing US taxpayers billions of dollars.

Instead of stripping American citizens of their right to free speech and boycott, the US government should be joining its friends on the world stage in enforcing international law by holding Israel accountable for its crimes.

The UK, alongside eight other US allies such as Canada and France, declared today that they will ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements. This is a long overdue but necessary step towards establishing the baseline of accountability against Israeli occupation and apartheid.

For decades, organizations like AIPAC have been able to pressure politicians almost unopposed. That’s no longer the case. AIPAC has spent a record-breaking $105 million+ on congressional races this year, and yet they’ve lost in big race after big race. Their money has become toxic.

This is the third time in recent weeks that an American or European news team has been attacked by Israeli settlers. This is the kind of violence that happens every single day to the millions of Palestinians living under Israel’s illegal military occupation, on the US taxpayer’s dime.

There is no separation between the Israeli military’s genocidal goals and the brutal violence Israeli settlers inflict on Palestinians every day. They are part of the same ethnic cleansing project, as Yuli Novak, executive director of Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem explains.

TOMORROW: Join us for a book talk with the authors of "Israel's Lobby". As AIPAC spends an absurd $105 million on the 2026 midterm elections in order to keep Congress on Israel's side, it's more vital than ever to understand how Israel’s lobby in the US managed to steer policy choices for so long.

The idea that there is ceasefire is a joke. Israel has never stopped killing Palestinian men, women,and children, and Trump keeps handing over the weapons to do it - with our tax dollars. Israel behaves like a rogue nation. We should respond accordingly. That means a weapons embargo and sanctions.

Listen to Noura Erakat. Cutting off funding for Israel’s genocide is just the start. Real accountability means sanctions on Israel. Real accountability means no more diplomatic immunity for Israel. Real accountability means no more weapons manufacturers profiting from genocide.

A majority of MI voters agree with Abdul’s stand that our tax dollars shouldn’t be paying for Israel’s tanks and bombs. They should be fixing schools & making healthcare affordable. AIPAC has already promised to spend big to defeat him for it. He’ll need people power. Volunteer:

A chief economist at Moody’s Analytics estimates that the disastrous Iran war that Trump launched for Israel’s benefit has cost at least $160 billion in rising prices and taxes - at least $1,250 per household. That's more than the sum total of Trump’s Medicaid cuts through 2028.
