Pass the West Bank Violence Prevention Act (H.R. 3045 \/ S. 2667)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your voice can help save lives.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A devastating rise in extremist settler violence<\/a> is sweeping through Palestinian communities in the West Bank. Entire villages have been attacked \u2014 families assaulted, homes and places of worship burned, and even American citizens killed. Instead of peace, there is violence that continues with near-total impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The West Bank Violence Prevention Act<\/strong> gives the United States a critical tool to help stop this cycle. The bill would require the U.S. government to identify violent settlers who commit human rights abuses and impose targeted consequences, including visa bans and financial restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congress has the power to act \u2014 but they need to hear from you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
