Rania Khalek: Israel’s War on Lebanon - CODEPINK Congress Capitol Calling Party Oct 1

Tuesday, Oct 17 Capitol Calling Party

Join CODEPINK Congress as we educate, activate and mobilize for peace legislation!

As the US supplies Israel with billions in arms, US taxpayers foot the bill to slaughter Gaza and bombard Lebanon with 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs. Thumbing his nose at the world community, Israeli PM Netanyhau tells the UN that Israel will continue its attacks on Gaza and Lebanon amid its refusal to support a ceasefire. While protesters shouted “Free Palestine” outside the UN, several delegations walked out before Netanyhu could approach the podium. 

Israel’s recent military attacks on Hezbollah have left over 600 dead in Lebanon, and thousands wounded, and Netanyahu has refused international efforts to negotiate a 21-day pause.

Meanwhile, in this country, Senator Bernie Sanders, with the support of Senators Merkley and Welsh, has introduced Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block certain weapons in a $20 billion arms package negotiated between the US and Israel. 

Join us for a conversation on how to disarm Israel to stop its genocide in Gaza and attacks on Lebanon.
