This Holiday Season, I urge you to reflect not only on gratitude but on justice and humanity. While Americans gather in peace, millions of Palestinians face occupation, displacement, ethnic cleansing, and are denied the basic freedoms we celebrate.
Gathering together and gifting symbolizes shared abundance and community, yet U.S. policies continue to fund oppression in Palestine. It is time to align our actions with our values.
I call on you to:
▪︎ Hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law and its blatant acts of genocide against the Palestinian people.
▪︎ Comply with the ICC's warrants of arrest for Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant for their war crimes.
▪︎ Take action for a permanent ceasefire now.
▪︎ Stop all weapons transfers and sales to Israel and impose an arms embargo now.
▪︎ Reinstate funding for UNRWA.
▪︎ End all U.S. backed Israeli wars in the Middle East.
True gratitude demands justice. Let this Holiday Season be a turning point toward liberation and dignity for all. Please respond.
