The mutilation of corpses is an unacceptable violation of human dignity and international laws of war. The reported actions of Israel soldiers running over bodies with armored bulldozers and describing remains as "meat" are utterly abhorrent. I urge you to strongly condemn these acts, ensure they immediately cease, and hold those responsible fully accountable. Upholding ethical conduct and the laws of armed conflict is essential for maintaining moral standards and human rights. I implore you to take decisive measures to prevent any further desecration of remains. Source: amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/10/21/middleeast/gaza-war-israeli-soldiers-ptsd-suicide-intl
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
