The torment echoes loud and unending off the walls of homes once filled with joy, now housing only desperation and fear. It's the cries of innocents caught in the unending crossfire; the silent whispers of prayers for relief; the deafening silence of lives cut short too soon. Every child, woman, and man has the fundamental right to live their life in peace, unthreatened by the fear of unending violence. This anguish you are funding in Palestine is unequivocally a crime against humanity, a blatant transgression of the rights every human being should be entitled to. The pain and suffering caused by this conflict are far from abstract - they are real, they are agonizing and they are happening right now. The constant stream of United States funding, arms, and political support to Israel has become an integral part of the problem, not the solution. It is a well-acknowledged fact that these resources are being utilized in the continued oppression and persecution of the Palestinian people. The mere thought of a so-called “civilized” society assisting in such atrocities shreds our collective morality. Providing the means to demolish homes, schools, and lives is not just a political act; it is a heart-wrenching symbol of our failure as supporters of peace and humanity. It is long overdue to act with compassion, decency, and righteousness. The ceaseless strife endured by the Palestinians must be brought to an end. Demand for an immediate ceasefire is not a mere request; it is an absolute necessity. And only when the smoke of war clears can we begin to resolve, with diplomacy and open dialogue, the issues that triggered this violence. It is in your hands to foster peace, rather than perpetuate conflict. You have the power. And so, I implore you to use it to put a stop to these crimes against humanity. For the sake of our common humanity, for the sake of peace, for the sake of justice – the destruction must stop. Cease this funding. Cease these actions. Let there be an end to this suffering.
