United Voices is calling on Congress to reject the Trump administration’s plan to sell approximately $6 billion in weapons to Israel — arms that would directly fuel the ongoing military campaign killing civilians in Gaza.

The proposed sale includes $3.8 billion for attack helicopters — nearly doubling Israel’s current inventory — and $1.9 billion for 3,200 infantry assault vehicles already being deployed in Gaza operations. Congress has the authority to block the sale and must use it.

“Approving this $6 billion weapons sale is tantamount to Congress signing off on the mass killing of civilians,” United Voices said. “These weapons will not protect civilians or bring peace — they will kill more children, level more hospitals, and deepen U.S. complicity in documented war crimes. Every member of Congress must decide whether they stand with international law and human rights, or with those who supply the machinery of mass killing.”

The scale of the death toll in Gaza makes continued U.S. arms transfers indefensible. The official count of Palestinians killed has surpassed 65,000 — a figure widely acknowledged to be a significant undercount. A secret Israeli intelligence database revealed that at least 83 percent of those killed were civilians, not combatants. Even former Israeli Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi acknowledged that more than 200,000 Palestinians have been killed or injured since the conflict began.

A UN commission’s report on Israeli conduct in Gaza concluded that the actions constitute genocide. The Trump administration’s response has been to propose the largest arms package of the conflict.

“The American people do not want their tax dollars funding the indiscriminate killing of Palestinian women and children,” United Voices said. “It is unconscionable to ship weapons into an active genocide while humanitarian aid is blocked, refugee camps are bombed, and Gaza lies in ruins.”

United Voices is urging the public to contact their representatives in Congress and demand they vote to reject this weapons sale. Silence from lawmakers is not neutrality — it is a choice to continue funding the killing.
