End U.S. Support to Israel

Settler Violence Toward Palestinians in West Bank, Gaza Atrocities Continue

Americans Must Demand Peace, Humane Treatment or Withdraw Billions in Aid


West Bank residents continue to be attacked by Israeli Settlers. To date, 77 Palestinians have been killed.

Imagine being trapped in your home by a band of thugs who throw stones at you when you venture outside to go to the store or get your mail, taunting you that you are an outsider in this town and must leave.


This is happening daily in the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians are being harassed and assaulted by Israeli settlers who claim they are the rightful heirs to this historic, biblical land.


The message to Arabs is clear: they are unwelcome and must leave. 



This harassment has reached historic proportions under Israel's hard-right government. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), settler violence has escalated to an average of more than six attacks per day.


The UN office has documented more than 1,330 settler attacks, which have forced the complete displacement of 47 entire Palestinian communities since 2023.


Furthermore, settler violence accounted for 55% of all Palestinian injuries in the West Bank, and at least 77 Palestinians, including 18 children, have been killed in connection with these attacks.


Human rights groups and international observers have frequently documented instances where Israeli soldiers actively participated in or failed to prevent these assaults. 


Meanwhile, military operations continue to devastate the Gaza Strip.


The Gaza Health Ministry and United Nations tracking report that over 73,300 Palestinians have been killed and more than 174,000 injured since October 2023, with an estimated 70% of residential casualties being women and children. International legal bodies, including UN experts, have severely condemned these actions, warning that the systematic destruction of infrastructure and mass displacement carry characteristics of a genocidal campaign. 


Why is this important to you? Your taxpayer dollars directly support Israel.


According to data compiled by the Council on Foreign Relations, the United States provides a baseline of $3.8 billion in annual military aid under a 10-year agreement.


This breaks down to $3.3 billion in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and $500 million for joint missile defense systems.


However, supplemental spending bills passed by Congress have driven recent funding totals far higher, exceeding $16.3 billion in direct military assistance within a single year. This mistreatment and criminal behavior reflects badly on the United States. 


We must continue to push for humanitarian treatment for the Palestinians and demand that no further financial aid flow to Israel unless there is a fundamental change in leadership that supports humane treatment toward the targeted Palestinians.


Demand a peaceful, internationally supported two-state solution. Palestinians deserve peaceful co-existence, and the bloodshed has to end. We own this, too.
