PDA’s End Wars Working Group Calls for an Arms Embargo on Israel
Progressive Democrats of America
End Wars Working Group
We deplore in the strongest terms what can only be labeled as an Israeli government Genocidal War being committed on the Palestinian people in pursuit of ethnic cleansing, particularly in Gaza. With tens of thousands of deaths, the near complete leveling of cities, and the mass hunger and starvation of civilians, this can no longer be seen as a war between Israel and Hamas. This is Genocide on all the Palestinian people. Therefore, we will continue to do all we can to criticize and expose the government of Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocidal actions and also expose the U.S. government’s complicity in this horrible war. We support Senator Bernie Sanders’s call for an end to all weapons shipments to the state of Israel.
We applaud the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, a U.S. federal court, the University Network for Human Rights and the Center for Constitutional Rights for their rulings, statements and law suits exposing Israel’s genocide and the complicity of the Biden administration in this genocide.
We are appalled by the inability of International Court of Justice to enforce its rulings and by the unwillingness of the U.S. courts to hold the U.S. government accountable for violations of U.S. law and international law.
We thank the brave individuals who have resigned their government positions in protest of the Biden administrations support for Israel’s genocide.
We are committed to working for peace and justice in Palestine/Israel and in conflicts throughout the world through the process of negotiation.

Thank you for your clarity. The Democrat President has been gungho to send US bombs that shred Palestinian children living like fish in a barrel in Gaza.
And ok to take away the hospitals and medical workers and journalists and water and food and sanitation and sewage. The would be Dem candidate knows how to read laws and apply them. If she wants to be president she needs to know International laws of Genocide and Asylum.
And US Laws that coincide in the World Arena. Otherwise she just playin with us.
I think what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is terrible. Its not only in Gaza but it is in the west bank. The U.S. is implicated because we give Israel the weapons to kill people. Because of the wall, check points, and settlements Palestinians have to live in areas where drugs and killing abounds. This extreme govt. is terrible and it gives settlers the right to do whatever they want to Palestinians. The government does not tell Israelis how bad it is for Palestinians.
There must be an end to the US policy of ENABLING the brutal Israeli genocide in Gaza. Arms embargo NOW
There must be an end to the brutal Israeli occupation and the US protection of Israel at the international level.
There must be an end to the annual US multi-billion dollar contributions to Israeli economy which makes every US taxpayer complicit in Israeli war crimes.
Netanyahu MUST not keep receiving products from the USA that aid his hateful genocide and evil twisted logic to wipe out all who disagree with his evil thots.
I am so ashamed of the continued supplies being sent to help this despot carry out his self-proclaimed murderous actions /
Ukraine deserves our aid far MORE than the ”wanna-be-god-netanyahu”.
Nothing will stop these war crimes except stopping the weapons. We beg Biden & Harris no more penny for Israeli atrocities. Stop abusing our tax money.
I am disappointed that there were no Palestinian speakers at the convention. The only thing that will stop the wholesale destruction will be an arms embargo.
Israel’s prime minister is rooting for Trump
Full support to PDA and to all students and young people supporting justice, peace and human rights.
Don’t understand how they do not understand discrimination.
Sick and tired of this war not between two armies, but between a sophisticated army and a vulnerable population. This is wrong.
Although a step in the right direction by PDA, this gesture should have been combined with a condemnation of the bigotry committed by the Democratic Party and Harris’s campaign against Arab-Americans during the recent DNC in Chicago.
Yes, we at PDA must actively and publicly insist on an immediate ceasefire and arms embargo of Israel.
I am with you 100%.
