Before 10/7, there were approximately 400 to 500 humanitarian aid trucks per DAY that brought in essential supplies. Now, as those in northern Gaza are being starved to death, that vital aid has been completely severed. There are approximately 322 humanitarian aid trucks that were allowed through the Rafah crossing, but have been denied access to their intended destination in northern Gaza. This is a man-made famine. There is no reason for people to be starved to death except that is what Israel wants to do and has intended to do. They've said their intentions so plainly and clearly this entire time.
I demand that you:
- Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire
- Call for the immediate end of Israel's occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace
- Hold Israel accountable for their violations of the Genocide Convention and all other international laws by any means necessary
- Secure the immediate release and safety of all Palestinians who have been abducted and held captive by Israel, including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7
- Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce Leahy Law
- Reallocate all funds given to Israel and commit additional resources for ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians starting with immediately resuming funding of UNRWA
- Immediately withdraw all U.S. troops, military assets, and all other assets deployed throughout the Middle East and cease all actions that further escalate a larger regional conflict
- Pass legislation that voids all anti-BDS laws at the federal level
– Vote no on H.R. 7521 and any similar legislation proposed
