End U.S. support for Israel's military campaign in Gaza now. The death toll is catastrophic and the evidence of genocide is no longer deniable — B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel both concluded in 2025 that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Amnesty International reached the same conclusion. When Israeli human rights organizations are saying this, there is no excuse for congressional silence.
The official Hamas Ministry of Health figure of 73,000 dead is itself an undercount — hospitals and morgues are destroyed, and tens of thousands more bodies remain under rubble or were incinerated. UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's report references a consensus estimate of 680,000 deaths. That is more than a quarter of Gaza's entire population. The U.S. supplied the weapons that caused this, including white phosphorus artillery shells confirmed by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
Stop blocking oversight. The State Department has stonewalled FOIA requests for two years. Congress has blocked hearings on how U.S. weapons are being used. That ends now. Cut military aid to Israel, demand an immediate ceasefire, and support a full independent investigation into the true death toll and U.S. complicity in it.
