You should condemn the Israel airstrike that murdered Palestinian journalists Islmail Al-Ghoul and Rami Al-Rifi in Gaza. Targeting members of the press is a blatant violation of human rights and press freedom. According to reports, Al-Ghoul and his team were simply responding to orders to evacuate the site when their vehicle was directly targeted and bombed by Israel forces. This is a warcrime. The ongoing Israel genocide on Gaza has resulted in staggering civilian casualities that could exceed 186,000 as reported by medical journal The Lancet. Flouting international law, Israel continues its devastating offensive, leading to famine and the forcible displacement of nearly two million Gazans in what is being described as the largest mass exodus of Palestinians since the 1948 Nakba. Israel's actions in Gaza constitute war crimes and genocide against the Palestinian people. There are currently 165 journalists murdered by Israel at the time this petition was written. I urge you to end all military aid and funding to Israel.
