Hi Friends,

The Israeli government’s latest assault on Lebanon has already killed and injured thousands and displaced over a million people from their homes. Top Israeli officials openly state that they are engaged in ethnic cleansing and have threatened 15% of Lebanon with indiscrimate violence against anyone who does not leave. Israel has attacked medical facilities, ambulances, civilian infrastructure, homes, churches, mosques, bridges, electricity networks, and water and sanitation networks.

The United States is assisting this destruction with weapons, intelligence, logistics, and diplomatic cover.

Two bills in Congress could put an end to this if passed. Tell your representative and senators to act now.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has introduced "The House Resolution Standing with the People of Lebanon Against the Illegal Invasion, War Crimes, and Ethnic Cleansing Perpetrated by the State of Israel." It calls on the United States to use its immense leverage to force an end to the Israeli military invasion, reject threats of territorial expansion and the illegal occupation of Lebanese territory, investigate and prosecute war crimes, end U.S. support and participation in this invasion, deliver unconditional humanitarian and reconstruction aid, extend Temporary Protected Status for Lebanese nationals in the United States, and support the safe and inalienable right of return of all displaced Lebanese to their homes.

Congresswoman Tlaib and Congresswoman Delia Ramirez have introduced "The Lebanon War Powers Resolution," which orders the removal of all U.S. Armed Forces’ participation in unauthorized hostilities in Lebanon, including involvement in targeting assistance and intelligence sharing for the Israeli airstrikes and ground invasion.

Let's get these passed through the House, and introduced and passed in the Senate!
