An Open Letter
To: V.P. Harris
From: A constituent in New Orleans, LA
August 22
The latest military conflict and ongoing occupation have revealed a disturbing trend of dehumanization and indifference towards Palestinian civilians on social media by Israeli soldiers. Viral videos show troops humiliating bound detainees, destroying homes and schools, and callously using excessive force in densely populated areas - actions that are unacceptable and breed further resentment. As your constituent, I urge you to reevaluate military aid and leverage diplomatic pressure to curb such abuses and human rights violations. Continuing to provide unconditional support despite these alarming incidents enables an escalating cycle of violence that undermines prospects for a just peace. Policy reforms prioritizing human rights and accountability are crucial to upholding American values and facilitating a resolution to this long-standing conflict.
