An Open Letter
To: Sen. Duckworth
From: A constituent in Chicago, IL
May 14, 2024
After you have celebrated this latest Mother’s Day, I hope you have decided to start caring about Palestinian mothers as well. I read an account of a Palestinian mother who tried IVF for ten years when she was finally successful. She had a child. After a decade, she was able to have a baby. Then the IDF murdered that child. That baby, that that mother wanted for so so long, was gone with your help. You continue to help fund this genocide. You continue to say this is self defense. Which is horribly not true and absolutely despicable coming from someone like you. You were in war, you know what it’s like. You are also someone who had to work harder to conceive. And yet despite all of your experiences, you are still totally fine with signing off on death and destruction. It is not too late to change your mind and start doing what is right. Advocate for peace. Permanent cease fire now.
