Why This Is Important

Call for a US government investigation into Israel's potential misuse of US made weapons in Gaza.

Investigate misuse of US weapons in Gaza and stop arms transfers to Israel.
Amnesty International researchers came across many US made white phosphorus artillery carrier shells, and fragments of other US produced weapons, throughout Gaza. We consider the repeated use of white phosphorus in densely-populated civilian areas a form of indiscriminate attack, and amounts to a war crime. Since 2001, the USA has been by far the major supplier of conventional arms to Israel, including government to government as well as private commercial sales. In addition to this trade, the USA has provided large funding each year for Israel to procure arms despite US legislation that restricts such aid to consistently gross human rights violators. Call for a US government investigation into Israel's potential misuse of US made weapons in Gaza.
