The harrowing incidents documented by Euro-Med Monitor regarding deliberate killings and extrajudicial executions of Palestinian civilians in northern Gaza by Israel forces are deeply disturbing. The testimonies of Palestinians witnessing the cold-blooded executions of loved ones, including a father and son shot dead in front of children, are appalling violations of human rights and international law. Israel's actions, from bombing homes with residents inside to mass killings of displaced civilians in shelters, constitute war crimes and cannot be tolerated. The starvation tactics employed, denying food and medical aid to nearly 70,000 trapped Palestinians, amount to collective punishment which is illegal under international humanitarian law. These atrocities are part of the broader genocide being perpetrated against the Palestinian people. Concrete measures to hold Israel accountable and protect Palestinian civilians are urgently needed. www.palestinechronicle.com/harrowing-incidents-euromed-documents-deliberate-killings-in-northern-gaza/
I demand you do everything in your power to:
- Support the ICC for issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu, and oppose all efforts to sanction the ICC
– Hold Israel accountable to a permanent, immediate ceasefire and for their repeat violations of international law
– Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid
- Support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace
– Secure the immediate release and safety of all hostages, including Palestinians held by Israel in "military prisons", including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7/24
– Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce U.S. laws like Leahy Law and the Arms Export Control Act
– Resume full funding of UNRWA and allocate more funds to aid humanitarian efforts in Gaza
– 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
