I am writing today to ask for your support in ending U.S. involvement in the ongoing destruction of Gaza. Far too many innocent children are dying as a result of our seemingly unconditional support of Israel. I, and millions of others, feel betrayed that our tax dollars are being used to fund this slaughter. In addition, we are ashamed that the U.S. stands in opposition to international efforts to recognize the rights of Palestinians (such as the bid for Palestinian membership in the UN, which was vetoed by the U.S. despite overwhelming support from the rest of the world).  Today commemorates the Nakba, the murder and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to make way for the Israeli state. That oppression continues in the violent ethnic cleansing taking place today. Are these the ideals of freedom and justice that America stands for?  https://www.palquest.org/en/highlight/160/nakba (https://www.palquest.org/en/highlight/160/nakba) Quite frankly, I feel ashamed to be an American. I know these decisions are not made by you, but you have the power to support and amplify the call for change. Please, join us in calling for an end to our support of this genocide
