The United States' unconditional support for Israel has enabled an ongoing assault on Gaza that has killed tens of thousands of civilians in potential war crimes. This carnage undermines any claims of promoting joy and democracy. I urge you to reconsider this failed policy of backing Israel unquestioningly. A just and lasting peace requires holding all parties accountable and centering Palestinian voices that have been excluded from the national dialogue. Take immediate steps to push for an arms embargo and ceasefire, and commit to a new approach that values human rights over military force. The politics of joy ring hollow without addressing this grave injustice.
