Israelis misuse weapons against civilians

I ask that my representatives and president hold up American values of fairness, justice, mercy and American laws like the Leahy Amendment that forbid sending military aid to those militaries that commit war crimes and genocide or attack civilians or prevent U.S. aid from reaching needy people. Specifically, I ask that you stop sending any military or other aid to Israel because they are using it to kill noncombatants, over half of whom are women and children.

Today, I watched a report that showed video of an Israeli strike on a U.N. school with lots of kids playing soccer. I heard that about 27 members of one family were killed, that body parts were flying everywhere. This is horrible. They likely used an American missile. Yesterday I heard an in-depth report on the murder of a 6-year-old girl and her family and the ambulance drivers sent to rescue her. I heard her teenage cousin screaming as an Israeli tank attacked their car and the little girl later pleading for someone to rescue her after all the other members of her family in the car had died.

I remember at least two separate incidents in which Israeli military attacked starving refugees who were waiting for food supplies. How does this represent American Values?

I have three children and five grandchildren. When I see these pictures, I imagine my kids and grandkids in these situations. I have a hard time with this.

How much worse it must be for Palestinian family members of those injured, killed and or starving. End weapons shipments to Israel to see that this ends now
