The Biden Administration and Congress have not fooled the American people or the world. We all see what you are really doing. While you send belated and insufficient aid to Gaza with one hand, you are still sending bombs with the other. You are still supporting Israel’s siege of Gaza. You still call Israel a friend and ally, even as it massacres civilians unabashedly for all the world to see. Biden Administration spokespeople echo Israeli lies and propaganda in farcical press conferences. The President himself maligns the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice while the world cries out for justice. In the face of all this, what good will the temporary aid “port” do? Your own actions make it irrelevant. Enough! I refuse to be complicit. I demand that you take action: 1. Begin an arms embargo, now! Halt the provision of all aid and arms to Israel immediately in order to obey US law under 10 USC 362, 22 USC 2378-1, and 22 USC 2378d. 2. Reject all rhetoric and legislation that conflates anti-zionism with anti-semitism. 3. Use the full strength of US resources to demand that Israel comply with the ICJ-ordered provisional measures and the UN Security Council ceasefire resolution, and work to achieve a lasting ceasefire. 4. Force Israel to let sufficient humanitarian aid into Gaza via existing land routes; support the efforts of the Freedom Flotilla in their emergency mission to deliver aid to Gaza; fund UNRWA. 5. Sanction Israel for its illegal actions, including in the West Bank. 6. HANDS OFF RAFAH! De-escalate! No more bombs on Gaza, Yemen, Iran, or anywhere else in the Middle East! No more forever wars!
