Jewish activists say US must stop arming Israel amid West Bank raid

Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), a US-based advocacy group, says Washington has long “facilitated” Israel’s “genocidal violence” against Palestinians and the flow of US weapons to Israel must urgently stop as it launches a major military operation in the occupied West Bank.

“From Gaza to the occupied West Bank, genocidal violence against Palestinians is allowed, permitted, and facilitated not only by the Israeli government, but by the United States,” JVP said in a series of social media posts.

“It’s never been more urgent to demand that the US government stop sending weapons to the Israeli military,” the group said.

“This massive and coordinated invasion is a direct result of our government’s continual enabling and co-signing of the Israeli government’s genocidal actions across all of occupied Palestine.”
