Israel’s government
and military.
Our responsibility
to act.

The Palestinian human rights organization Al-Haq documents Israel’s systematic destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system as part of its campaign of genocide.

Israel Bonds lend money directly to that state. Arkansas’s investment decisions give us a place to withdraw support and organize for change.

The change we demand

Stop adding money. Bring the principal home as existing bonds mature. End the financial relationship.

How we turn that demand into a win
  • No new Israel Bonds.
  • No renewals.
  • No reinvestment.

No more money
for Israel Bonds.

Ask Arkansas Treasurer John Thurston to publicly commit to no new purchases, no renewals, and no reinvestment. Bring someone with you into that demand.
