The ongoing violence and suffering in Gaza is deeply concerning, with alarming reports of ethnic cleansing and genocide against Palestinian civilians by Israel forces. As Doctors Without Borders has stated, there are clear signs of ethnic cleansing taking place, evidenced by the staggering loss of life, widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure, and the forced displacement of nearly two million Gazans. Unconditional support for Israel's actions enables this unfolding tragedy and is morally indefensible in light of the mounting evidence of war crimes and genocide. A firm stance against such atrocities, promotion of accountability, and promotion of international law is urgently needed to bring an end to this injustice. www.palestinechronicle.com/51-palestinians-killed-in-gaza-msf-accuses-israel-of-ethnic-cleansing/
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
- Void all anti-BDS laws and other laws that infringe on my right to freedom of speech to criticize any political ideology or country, and to use my money in ways that align with my values
