    Today in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military razed Palestinian land in Barta’a, northwest of Jenin. Yesterday in Sinjl, northeast of Ramallah, the Israeli military began destroying Palestinian land to construct new apartheid walls that will cut off Palestinians from their land.

    The US government can end this. We demand a weapons embargo now. Call your Senators and tell them to block these bombs, and to stop arming Israel to save Palestinian and Lebanese lives. jvp.org/stopweapons
