An Open Letter

To: Sen. Gillibrand, Rep. Riley, Sen. Schumer

From: A verified voter in Canaan, NY

September 16, 2025

The murderous Netanyahu regime and the IDF are continuing their brutal destruction of Gaza, now indiscriminately bombing Gaza City. Without regard for civilian deaths and world condemnation of their atrocities the reign of terror continues unabated. Where is the Democratic Party as regards to this genocide? Except for a very few of your colleagues, all I hear is silence and complicity. Leader Jeffries, too beholden to AIPAC money remains quiet, too afraid to even endorse the Democratic nominee for the mayoralty of New York City. New York Senators, also the recipients of AIPAC dollars remain mostly mute as well. My Congressman, from NY19, is recently returned from an AIPAC funded jaunt to Israel where he stated he was “concerned” about the death toll in Gaza. Have you not learned anything from the defeat in 2024, when millions of voters declined to support the Democratic nominee for President because of Democratic acquiescence to Israel’s slaughter of children? Your silence and acceptance of AIPAC dollars is collusion with the IDF and the Israeli killing machine.
