Stop aiding israel’s humanitarian crisis and abuses

To: Sen. Padilla, Sen. Schiff

From: A constituent in La Habra, CA

August 12

I’m shocked and continually disgusted that my representatives are aiding in Israel’s genocide and terrorism on the Palestinians. Another opportunity to stop being complicit in israel’s 76+ year occupation, seige, control, deplorable conditions and now GENOCIDE. And you voted with the oppressor! To continue sending aid. You are complicit in turning your back on Americans who believe Palestinian lives matter. Are you willing to turn your back on the people of this country rather than recognize that Palestinian lives are worth saving? Are you so aligned with Western colonialism (and israel’s interests) that you cannot fathom saying no to more colonization or ending this brutal occupancy paid for in part with our tax dollars? You were on the list of Senators who voted for more funding to israel - how can you not oppose genocide? How are you still believing the propaganda? How can you prioritize profit over people? Shame on you! Is it your ties with AIPAC? There is so so much clear evidence of their crimes. You should use your office and its power to stop Israel from violating International law, to return Palestinian prisoners, and to uphold the dignity and sovereignty of the Palestinian people. We want accountability of and for the US involvement. Stop bombing and escalating tensions. We want a ceasefire, to lift the siege, to end the occupation and free Palestine. We cannot send more funding, money, military aid, or complicit approval to Israel and its settler and colonizing tactics. I know this land was built on these same ideals but it's time to stop. Hundreds of human beings have been slaughtered since the ICJ’s ruling and not only has nothing been done to stop Israel, we are complicit now (and for decades) in its actions Enough is enough.
