CONGRESS I write to you amidst the cries and anguish of a conflict that continues to rage on years after it should have ended; a conflict tragically and unnecessarily prolonged by the unceasing flow of American funds and lethal weapons. A flow that fuels the flames, propelling the Israeli government's actions against innocent Palestinian civilians. Your silence and complicity foster these horrific crimes. We cannot simply stand by, watching the demolition of homes, the displacement of families, and the unnecessary loss of lives. Our government's funding is not merely a military collaboration; it directly assists in the violation of human rights and international law. As a nation that prides itself on championing human rights, this contradiction is disheartening and alarming. Every bullet that kills an innocent child, every bomb dropped on an unsuspecting neighborhood, each carries the stamp of our taxpayer dollars. They bear the ugly mark of our complacency in this human tragedy. The urgent and absolute need is for a ceasefire. Not tomorrow, not in a week, but now. This plea is not just about ending the funding or halting the shipment of arms; it's about taking decisive, emphatic actions to demand an end to the atrocities, to say 'no more' to the crimes against humanity. It's about giving peace a chance, giving humanity a chance, and letting innocent lives rebuild from the ashes of this destructive conflict. This is not a matter of politics, but one of basic human decency and compassion. Don't we owe humanity that much?
