Israel's targeted killings of 191 Palestinian journalists, most recently Mamdouh Ibrahim Qanaita, constitutes a flagrant violation of international laws protecting press freedom. These systematic attacks on media workers represent an assault on truth itself by obstructing vital reporting from one of the world's most volatile conflict zones. Israel must be held accountable by the international community for these unconscionable crimes against those exercising their fundamental right to freedom of press. Decisive action is urgently needed to establish protections for journalists risking their lives to share footage of the warcrimes happening in Gaza and deter future attacks on the free press in Gaza and the occupied territories. www.palestinechronicle.com/gaza-journalist-killed-in-israeli-drone-strike-death-toll-rises-to-191/ I demand you do everything in your power to: - Support the ICC for issuing arrest warrants for Netanyahu, and oppose all efforts to sanction the ICC – 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 in Gaza – 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
