[Peace-discuss] Roots Action: Stop new proposed arms sale to Saudi Arabia

[Stuart Levy]

Maybe you've been reading about the ongoing Saudi mass destruction of
Yemen, with many civilian deaths and over a million people displaced -
here's one good article on it:
     
https://medium.com/il-manifesto-global/saudi-raids-pulverise-yemen-s-heritage-a8e07e23617a#.nf5h1z5mh

One lever the US has on them is our ... also ongoing ... sales of arms
to Saudi Arabia, including one recently approved sale of over $1
billion.   This Roots Action petition calls on our legislators to block
that sale, and investigate Saudi war crimes in Yemen.

*Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia has led an airstrike campaign in Yemen*
that frequently targets residential neighborhoods and civil
infrastructure, resulting in thousands of civilian deaths.

The U.S. State Department recently approved a sale of *$1.29 billion
worth of munitions* to Saudi Arabia to restock its air force, despite
clear evidence of human rights and laws-of-war violations by Saudi-led
coalition forces.

By refusing to investigate the Saudi government’s violations of
international humanitarian law and providing additional arms to Saudi
Arabia, the United States would be complicit in these violations. *But
with your help, we can stop this weapons sale.*

Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain, the Yemen Peace
Project, and RootsAction.org encourage you to *click here to send a
message to your senators and representatives asking them to oppose the
most recent U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia, and to call a public
hearing to investigate Saudi war crimes in Yemen.*
