Israel Has Killed 2,100 Babies. ARMS EMBARGO NOW.

August 16
I am writing to you with an unwavering resolve, driven by the horrifying report of 2,100 babies under two treats old killed by Israel in just 10 months. Since October 7, nearly 17,000 Palestinian children have been slaughtered by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. These staggering numbers are not mere statistics; they represent a profound human tragedy and the catastrophic failure of the international community to intervene. The continued inaction of our government enables this devastating death toll to rise, and we must act now to prevent further loss of life. Sanctions must be imposed immediately. The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has exposed a deeply disturbing reality: the systematic and brutal targeting of Palestinian children by the Israeli military. This incomprehensible violence is rooted in the dehumanization of Palestinians. Israel’s military has targeted Palestinians and their children daily, methodically, and with shocking brutality, virtually without pause for the past ten months. This sustained and deliberate campaign of violence has led to an unprecedented and horrifying rate of child fatalities. (https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6437/The-bloodiest-face-of-its-genocide:-Israel-has-killed-2,100-Palestinian-infants-and-toddlers-in-Gaza#:~:text=Palestinian%20Territory%20%2D%20The%20Israeli%20army,genocide%20on%207%20October%202023.) As the Euro-Med Monitor poignantly states, “The number of Palestinian children – whether infants or children in general – killed by the Israeli army is horrifying, and the rate of their killing is unprecedented in the history of modern wars.” These deliberate murders are not just a tragic statistic; they are a damning reflection of the brutality of Israel’s leadership and its ongoing campaign against the Palestinian people. It is imperative that our government, alongside others around the world, impose strict and immediate sanctions on Israel. The time for complacency has long passed; the continued slaughter of innocent children cannot be tolerated. We must act now to hold Israel accountable for these heinous war crimes and to prevent further atrocities. Sanctions must include an arms embargo and a two-way trade embargo. This pressure is essential to enforce a ceasefire. We must recognize a Palestinian state and support The Hague’s call for the dismantlement of the illegal occupation and settlements, which we have a legal and moral obligation to support. Perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity must be prosecuted. As your constituent, I want to make it clear: I will not vote for anyone who allows or supports genocide, which is exactly what Israel is carrying out in Gaza. My vote will only go to a candidate who takes definitive action to end the military support of Israel’s assault on Palestinian life. This is not just about the current moment—it is a commitment I will uphold in all future elections. I look forward to prompt and meaningful action from you and our government.
