Israeli soldiers admit to using Palestinians as human shields

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff, Rep. Lieu

From: A constituent in Redondo Beach, CA

November 10

I urge you to condemn the revelations that soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza admitted to using civilians as human shields, firing without restraint, and treating non-combatants as expendable. This moral collapse — confirmed by multiple firsthand testimonies — demands urgent action. The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/10/israeli-soldiers-breaking-ranks-gaza-civilians-human-shields?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Congress must respond decisively: • Pass a formal resolution condemning these war-crime-allegations and demand full accountability of every individual and unit involved. • Support legislation such as the Block the Bombs Act that ensures U.S. assistance does not enable atrocities or the targeting of civilians. When American taxpayer dollars fund operations where civilians are used as shields or executed as mere “suspicion,” it reflects on our values as a nation. Silence or inaction makes the US complicit. Please stand for accountability, human dignity, and the rule of law. The world is watching and history will judge.
