TODDLER AMPUTEES HAVE NO MEDICAL CARE - END THE GENOCIDE NOW
To: Rep. Pappas, Sen. Hassan, Pres. Biden, Sen. Shaheen
From: A constituent in Merrimack, NH
February 22
The evidence for Israel's genocide has only grown every single day. You're clearly looking away on purpose at this point. Amnesty International's recent investigation into 4 Israeli airstrikes from December to January in Rafah specifically, showed that there were no legitimate military targets or indication that these residential buildings could be mistaken for one. One of those murdered was an infant girl who wasn't even 3 weeks old yet. This was an intentional massacre of families and these massacres have not stopped. Israeli violence has only intensified. The UN relief chief has warned that allowing the continued ground invasion and assault on Rafah will be catastrophic and lead to massacres. It will be beyond anything we have seen so far in this genocide. The Nasser Hospital, which was the second largest in Gaza, is now completely out of service after Israel's brutal siege and intentional bombardment and destruction. The critically ill and immobile patients could not be evacuated - Israel released a large number of police dogs into the hospital. They forced medical staff to strip and laughed and demeaned them. These are the same kinds of police dogs that horrifically mauled a child in Ramallah early January of this year, who was held hostage in Israeli death camps, "military prisons". Israeli forces intentionally sicced the dog on the child. Several days before these evil terrorist acts, Israel forced one of the men they've abducted and held hostage, still in chains, to go into the hospital to tell people to leave because it was going to be bombed. He was dressed in white PPE, and clearly stood out from the rest of the people in the area. After he did as instructed and was leaving the hospital, Israeli snipers intentionally murdered him. This is all on camera. Meanwhile, toddlers face multiple amputations without anesthesia or pain medicine after their families have been murdered, like Hoor Nusseir who isn't even 2 years old yet. Where are children like Hoor supposed to go for safety and desperately needed medical care and rehab for their permanently disabling injuries? I demand that you: - Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire - 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 resume funding of UNRWA - Pass legislation that voids all anti-BDS laws at the federal level
