I am writing to you today with a profound sense of anger and urgency regarding the abhorrent actions of the Israeli regime and the continued support the United States offers to this oppressive state. It is high time that we demand justice for the Palestinian people and put an end to our complicity in these heinous crimes. A recent leaked video aired by Israel's Channel 12 has exposed yet another atrocity committed by Israeli soldiers against a Palestinian detainee from Gaza at the Sde Teiman detention camp. This footage shows the sexual assault of a blindfolded detainee by a group of Israeli reservist soldiers, an act of such depravity that it leaves no room for ambiguity about the moral bankruptcy of the Israeli military and its leadership. Despite Israeli authorities claiming to investigate these incidents, tangible results are rarely, if ever, seen. This is not an isolated incident but part of a systemic pattern of abuse and violence against Palestinians. In recent months, numerous reports have emerged detailing mass abuse of Palestinian prisoners from Gaza at Sde Teiman. Yet, no substantive action has been taken to hold the perpetrators accountable. The Israeli military prosecution's so-called "investigation" into this recent sexual assault has yet to result in any charges against the accused, reflecting a blatant disregard for justice. Moreover, since October 7, Israel's brutal military campaign has resulted in the deaths of nearly 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza. This is nothing short of genocide, a crime for which Israel is currently being accused at the International Court of Justice. Our continued alliance with such a regime makes us complicit in these atrocities. As a constituent, I demand that you take immediate action to address these issues. It is imperative that the United States reevaluates its relationship with Israel and ceases all military and financial support until there is verifiable evidence of meaningful change. We must stand on the right side of history and uphold the principles of human rights and justice. I urge you to speak out against these crimes and to push for policies that hold the Israeli regime accountable. Our nation's integrity and commitment to justice depend on it.
