The heartbreaking news of Israel airstrikes targeting and murdering 6 paramedics in southern Lebanon is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and a reprehensible act. Intentionally attacking medical personnel whose sole purpose is to save lives is an unconscionable war crime that deserves unequivocal condemnation. This tragedy underscores the urgent need to hold Israel accountable for its indiscriminate use of force and disregard for civilian life. Bombing a university campus, a place dedicated to education and enlightenment, further demonstrates Israel's genocidal conduct. I implore you to denounce these actions in the strongest terms and take concrete steps to prevent such atrocities from recurring. The rights of medical workers and civilians must be safeguarded, and those responsible for these heinous acts must face justice. www.palestinechronicle.com/israel-damages-lebanese-university-in-beirut-six-paramedics-killed-in-southern-lebanon/ I demand you do everything in your power to: – 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 to rebuild Gaza, and provide Palestinians with the resources to survive and thrive – 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
