An Open Letter
To: V.P. Harris
From: A verified voter in Vancouver, WA
August 19
I am writing to express my profound concern and strong opposition to your ongoing involvement in the funding and arming of forces responsible for the illegal killing of Palestinians. These actions not only violate international law but also perpetuate a cycle of violence that results in the loss of innocent lives and deepens the suffering of countless families.
Your support for these illegal settlement forces is directly contributing to the ongoing violence, including the unjustified killing of Palestinian civilians. This is not just a moral failing; it is an illegal act that stands in stark violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and other international human rights laws. The arming and funding of these forces must cease immediately to prevent further loss of life and destruction.
I demand that you take immediate steps to halt all funding and arms support to these illegal operations. Additionally, I call on you to advocate for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. The path to peace cannot be paved with weapons and bloodshed but must be founded on justice, respect for human rights, and diplomatic solutions that ensure the safety and dignity of all people in the region.
Failure to meet these demands will not only perpetuate the violence and suffering but will also force me to reconsider my support for you in the upcoming election. I cannot, in good conscience, vote for someone who is complicit in such grave injustices. The time to act is now, and I urge you to make the right decision.
