You claim to support Israel. Let me be clear: that means you support genocide. Gaza is in the middle of a stage five famine—millions are starving, tens of thousands are dead, and entire generations have been wiped out. This isn’t a “conflict” or a “war.” It’s the final stage of ethnic cleansing. And it was made possible through U.S. weapons, U.S. funding, and U.S. political cover. Israel has deliberately blocked food, bombed aid convoys, and destroyed farmland. They’ve cut off water, electricity, and medicine. These are war crimes—and when we fund the bombs and defend the blockade, we are co-conspirators. There’s no more room for euphemisms or diplomatic hedging: this is a U.S.-backed genocide. And now, Israel has escalated again—this time attacking a peaceful civilian aid ship in international waters. The Handala was carrying food, diapers, and medical supplies. It was unarmed. Aboard that ship was Jacob Berger, a Jewish American citizen and human rights activist. He was kidnapped at sea by Israeli forces. If any other country had done this, you’d be calling it an act of war. But because it’s Israel, you say nothing. That makes you complicit. So I’m demanding the following: 1. Publicly call for the immediate release of Jacob Berger and the entire Handala crew, who were abducted in violation of international maritime law. 2. End all U.S. aid to Israel—military, financial, and diplomatic. They are not an ally. They are a rogue state and a global pariah. 3. Call for war crimes investigations into Israel’s blockade, mass starvation, and indiscriminate bombing of civilians. Enough deflection. Enough excuses. If you continue to support this regime—this criminal enterprise—you are no better than the ones pulling the trigger. The next time you say you “stand with Israel,” know that it means standing over mass graves with your hands drenched in blood. Do your job. Represent your constituents. Stop funding genocide.
