Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza in October 2023, the US has given more than $30 billion in taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel to enable its atrocities.
The US is not only complicit in Israel’s killing of at least 70,000 (conservative estimate) Palestinians in Gaza and at least 1,000 in the West Bank since the start of the genocide, but our weapons make us partners in crime.
As Israel continues its genocidal violence by killing, starving, and displacing Palestinians, it’s overdue for the U.S. to Block the Bombs! Representatives Delia Ramirez (lead sponsor), Sara Jacobs, Pramila Jayapal, and Mark Pocan introduced a historic bill in Congress to do just that.
It’s vital that Members of Congress hear from their constituents constantly that they oppose giving more weapons to Israel. Write your Representative and ask them to cosponsor H.R.3565, the Block the Bombs Act. You can see if your member is already a cosponsor here.
According to a poll conducted by IMEU Policy Project and Gen Z for Change in September 2025, 71% of likely Democratic primary voters opposed taxpayer-funded weapons to Israel (only 7% approved); 63% opposed the US selling weapons to Israel (only 14% approved); and 75% opposed the signing of another MOU (only 9% approved).
In another poll conducted by YouGov in December 2025, IMEU Policy Project found that only a minority or bare majority of Republicans supported providing additional weapons to Israel.
By introducing this bill, Members of Congress are proactively trying to block the Trump administration from delivering major US weapons to Israel (bombs, tank rounds, and artillery shells), which it has used in its mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza.
If enacted into law, this bill would block the following weapons from being sold to Israel: BLU-109 bunker-busting bombs, MK80 series bombs, GBU-39 small-diameter bomb variants, Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), SPICE gliding bomb assemblies, 120mm tank ammunition, and 155mm artillery ammunition, including white phosphorus munitions.
This is the first time ever that Congress has tried to proactively block weapons to Israel, and we should let them know this is exactly what Americans want.
Take action now and tell a loved one to do the same.
