Israel's ongoing assault on Gaza, including shelling of designated "safe zones" that killed 21 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and girls, is unconscionable. This latest mass killing underscores the severe humanitarian crisis caused by Israel's military actions and blockade of Gaza. The UN Security Council's emergency meeting and several countries formally recognizing the State of Palestine reflect global condemnation of Israel's violent occupation. As your constituent, I urge you to take decisive action to end U.S. military aid and support for Israel until it respects Palestinian human rights and international law. American complicity in these atrocities through funding and arms sales to Israel must cease immediately. Concrete steps toward a just peace require holding Israel accountable for its egregious human rights violations against the Palestinian people.
