We, the American People, are urging the President of the United States, the members of the United States Congress, and the members of the United States Senate to take the “America First” approach seriously when it comes to spending American Taxpayer Dollars —particularly regarding U.S. Foreign Military Aid to Israel — and to immediately stop funding the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

We do not consent to our money being used to support mass killing abroad. Our tax dollars should be invested in solving the growing crises here at home — putting America First in reality, not just in rhetoric.

Since the 1970s, Israel has been the #1 international recipient of American taxpayer funding, now receiving $3.8 billion per year in U.S. Foreign Military Aid.

We recognize that the tragic events of October 7, 2023 — which resulted in 1,139 deaths and roughly 200 hostages — did not occur in a vacuum. October 7th was a direct result of more than 50 years of oppression, aggression, apartheid policies, and illegal occupation imposed upon the Palestinian people. History must be acknowledged in order to prevent cycles of violence.

Yet rather than helping de-escalate the conflict, the United States has enabled an overwhelming and disproportionate military assault on Gaza and the West Bank. To date: - 70,354 Palestinian civilians have been killed - 171,030 have been injured - Victims include children, women, journalists, medical teams, and humanitarian workers - 52 U.S. citizens have also been killed across the conflict zones since October 7th

According to the United Nations, genocide includes killing, causing serious bodily or mental harm, inflicting lethal living conditions, preventing births, or forcibly transferring children from one group to another with intent to destroy that group — in whole or in part. The actions being carried out in Gaza meet these legal standards.

Since October 7, 2023, the United States has awarded at least $21.7 Billion in military support to Israel — including weapons, ammunition, missiles, and replenishment of U.S. stockpiles — all financed by American taxpayers.

This figure does not include tens of billions in future arms contracts already approved.

Meanwhile, Israel enjoys: - Free national healthcare - Free education - Strong social safety nets - A high-standard modern economyYet American families struggle with inflation, medical debt, housing costs, and a national deficit — while Israel receives billions of U.S. dollars to sustain a higher standard of living and wage war recognized globally as genocide.

Additionally, the U.S. sends $1.3 billion annually to the Egyptian military — not for democracy or human rights — but to help maintain an authoritarian regime that suppresses its own people, fuels internal instability, and drives illegal migration by creating hopelessness and fear.

Our tax money should not bankroll oppression abroad while Americans suffer at home.

Polling from August and September 2025 shows that nearly 50% of registered U.S. voters believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza — and elected officials from both parties now openly acknowledge this reality.

As Mahatma Gandhi warned: “An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”

The United States must stop turning a blind eye.

We, the American People, demand — Stop funding genocide. Stop financing oppression abroad. Start prioritizing Americans at home.
