Over 100 days of destruction in Gaza [View in Browser]( [Amnesty International candle logo]( [ACT: WEAPONS FUNDED BY U.S. TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE KILLING CIVILIANS IN GAZA]( {NAME}: For over 100 days now, we have witnessed mass suffering on a devastating scale, and while our global Amnesty movement is calling for a ceasefire, we must also [immediately stop the complicity of the United States in the bombardment of civilians in Gaza.]( After searching through the rubble of destroyed homes in central Gaza following two strikes that killed a total of 43 civilians — 19 children, 14 women and 10 men — Amnesty found distinctive fragments of U.S.-made weapons. These U.S.-made weapons are being used by the Israeli military in indiscriminate or direct attacks on civilians and civilian objects. New legislation has been introduced that would increase Congressional scrutiny of U.S. military funding by mandating a report from the Biden administration on human rights violations committed by the Israeli government. This resolution would be an important step towards ensuring that the U.S. government takes accountability and suspends the transfer of weapons that are facilitating the mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. [Urge your Senators to vote YES on this resolution so that our taxpayer dollars aren’t used to commit war crimes.]( [It takes one minute to send your letter today using our simple tool, and it could help save civilian lives in Gaza.]( [SEND YOUR LETTER]( Suleiman Salman al-Najjar spoke to Amnesty about an Israeli airstrike that hit his family home.

I could not believe my eyes. Everybody was under the rubble. The house was completely pulverized. The bodies were reduced to shreds.” U.S.-made weapons are being used in attacks that are indiscriminately killing Palestinian civilians, and we must demand a stop to it.
