Sample Script:

"Hello _______________, I am urging you and the House Foreign Affairs Committee to support the Resolution of Disapproval introduced by Representative Ocasio-Cortez, stopping the $735M arms sale to Israel. I also urge the House to pass HR 2590 Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children Act introduced by Representative McCollum. 

(You can stop there if you like).

You must make it clear that the United States will not provide missiles to Israel, which targets civilians and which has consistently committed human rights violations as outlined by the United Nations. 

Even with the current ceasefire, Israel continues to illegally occupy and terrorize the people of Palestine, and violently evict and abuse Palestinians living in Jerusalem and throughout Israel. This is not a country the United States should be supporting with weapons of mass destruction. I urge you to vote in favor of the joint resolution of disapproval and to pass Representative McCollum’s Act prohibiting Israel from using US tax dollars for purposes of war and occuption.

Thank you.”
