The majority of Americans favor an arms embargo on Israel, in response to Israel’s one-year war on Gaza, now spreading into Lebanon. Three polls by CBS News, from as early as mid-October 2023, consistently show that support for an arms embargo is a majority opinion and only growing over time.
In October 2023, 52% surveyed said the U.S. should stop weapons shipments to Israel. In April 2024, a CBS News/YouGov poll found that 60% held this opinion. And a June 2024 poll found that 61% of respondents called for halting arms transfers to Israel.
What are our Utah congressional representatives and senators doing to reflect the will of the people on this important foreign policy issue?
Israel is the single largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid ever, having received $260 billion in combined U.S. military and economic aid since its founding ($317 billion, adjusted for inflation).
What have we gotten for our hard-earned tax dollars?
Apartheid, occupation, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Enough is enough. Listen to your constituents, Utah congressional delegation.
