(https://jewishcurrents.org/the-scenes-in-rafah-are-straight-from-a-nightmare) The recent article from Jewish Currents, “The Scenes in Rafah Are Straight From a Nightmare,” has laid bare the grotesque reality unfolding in Rafah—a reality that demands your immediate attention and action. What is happening in Rafah is not just a tragedy; it is an atrocity, a blatant and unrelenting assault on human life that shreds any pretense of morality. Rafah has become the epicenter of a calculated campaign of annihilation. The indiscriminate bombings, the slaughter of civilians, and the deliberate targeting of homes, hospitals, and essential infrastructure are not acts of war; they are acts of mass murder. This is collective punishment, plain and simple—a war crime of the highest order, carried out with impunity. The United States cannot continue to wash its hands of this bloodshed. Our government’s ongoing military support to Israel is enabling these crimes, making us complicit in this barbarity. The images and testimonies from Rafah are not just reports; they are evidence—evidence of a genocidal intent that demands immediate cessation and accountability. I demand that you take action now. It is your responsibility to push for a full investigation into these heinous war crimes. You must call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to stop this slaughter. Furthermore, it is imperative that the U.S. implements an arms embargo on Israel until it ceases its illegal occupation and blockade of Gaza and complies with international law. The scenes in Rafah are a moral indictment of every nation that stands by in silence. To do nothing in the face of such evil is to be complicit in it. As a representative of this nation, you have a duty to act—not tomorrow, not in a week, but now. The people of Rafah are being massacred as you read this. Will you let this continue on your watch? I expect immediate action. The world is watching, and history will not judge kindly those who stood by while innocent lives were obliterated.
