Today the International Association of Genocide Scholars, among them a number of Holocaust experts, came to the conclusion that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza. I bring this up to you, Senator, because I want to urge you to continue supporting legislation that blocks sending U.S. weapons to Israel. Democratic voters overwhelmingly side with the Palestinian people because we have seen their suffering for almost two years now. I for one cannot stay silent while the party that I am supposed to be supporting continues to send the weapons that cause the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza. As your constituent, I feel like I have no place in a Democratic Party that blatantly ignores this dire situation. I hope that your continued support shows that there is a place for me. I hope that you raise your voice for the people of Palestine.
