An Open Letter

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

From: A verified voter in Bath, NY

I am writing this because I am beyond disgusted that my tax dollars are being used to fund Israel's genocide! You are supposed to represent us, the American people, but instead it feels like your first loyalty is to a foreign government and their military. It is a total disgrace and it needs to end now! What is happening in Gaza is a straight-up massacre and everyone with eyes can see it. We’ve watched them level entire neighborhoods, blow up every single university, and starve out families who have nowhere left to run. And now they’re doing the exact same thing in Lebanon! Bombing Beirut and forcing a million people out of their homes is not "defense," it’s a slaughter. How can you sit there and keep sending them our money and our weapons to keep doing this? Every time you approve another billion dollars for them, it’s a slap in the face to every American struggling right here at home. We are wasting a literal fortune to help destroy other countries while our own credibility on the world stage is completely shot. We look like the biggest hypocrites on the planet talking about human rights while we literally pay for these war crimes! Israel’s interests clearly do not align with ours and it's making the world a much more dangerous place for everyone. It needs to stop right now!! I am tired of the excuses and the "concerns" while the bombs just keep falling. Stop the money, stop the weapons, and stop being complicit in this. We are watching what you do and we won't forget it! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
