We asked people to sign this petition and add comments. Here are some of the comments they added:
Stop the weapons shipments, and replace them with diplomacy and a new focus on the human and environmental crises that these wars defund, distract from, and exacerbate.
The arms trade is negative value production that adversely impacts on international currencies as well as life, living standards, and the natural world.
"Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind." -- John F. Kennedy. YOU DO REALIZE THAT YOU ARE PART OF THE MANKIND THAT WILL BE ENDED, RIGHT?
"The money made by the sale of weapons is money drenched in blood!" Pope Francis address to the U.S. Congress 2015. Stop the sale of arms now!
Is the United States ready to grow up, or will it continue to promote barbarism and murder in the name of profit?
Vengeance is misguided grief.
A government's primary responsibility is to care for its own people- not by waging wars or sending weapons to other countries, but by ensuring the welfare and quality of life of its own people. Humanity begins at home.
A growing number of us hate what our country is turning into.
A total prohibition on all arms exports is also imperative given that an estimated 40% of global corruption can apparently be traced back to the arms industry.
A World Beyond War must be possible.
Absolutely, no more weapons shipments, including airplanes, to Israel. Why would anyone add fuel to this horrific, fiery war?
Actually represent the people for once" Not your damned owners.
All beings everywhere on the Earth deserve support, not destruction.
All empires fail.
All militaries are terrorist organizations.
