Despite a ceasefire agreement, violence against Palestinians by Israeli forces persists, prompting Rep. Rashida Tlaib and other groups to advocate for an arms embargo on Israel. Tlaib emphasizes that U.S. involvement has enabled Israeli actions, and groups like Jewish Voice for Peace argue that true peace cannot occur without halting U.S. arms sales. They claim that without this embargo, the status quo of violence and apartheid will continue, as demonstrated by ongoing attacks despite a recent decrease in casualty rates during the ceasefire phase.
The Israeli government will never stop until we make them with an arms embargo, the Palestinian American lawmaker said on social media on Thursday.
Left in the hands of the U.S. and Israeli governments, weapons manufacturers, and warmongering institutions, this fragile respite will not mean an end to Israeli genocide or to the violent status quo of Israeli apartheid.
