This horrific attack by Israel forces on residential buildings in Barja and Chehabiyeh, Lebanon has led to numerous civilian casualties, including at least 25 deaths and 14 injuries. The indiscriminate targeting of civilian areas is a grave violation of international law and cannot be justified. Israel must be held accountable for these war crimes. The US should not continue to unconditionally arm a foreign pariah state at the expense of hardworking taxpayers. It's unjustifiable how the USA puts Israel first above the interests of it's own civilians. Source: www.palestinechronicle.com/israeli-overnight-strikes-in-lebanon-at-least-25-people-killed/
I demand you do everything in your power to:
– Hold Israel accountable to a permanent, immediate ceasefire and for their repeat violations of international law
– Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid
- Support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace
– Secure the immediate release and safety of all hostages, including Palestinians held by Israel in "military prisons", including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7/24
– Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce U.S. laws like Leahy Law and the Arms Export Control Act
– Resume full funding of UNRWA and allocate more funds to aid humanitarian efforts to rebuild Gaza, and provide Palestinians with the resources to survive and thrive
– Immediately withdraw all U.S. troops, military assets, and all other assets deployed throughout the Middle East and cease all actions that further escalate a larger regional conflict
- Void all anti-BDS laws and other laws that infringe on my right to freedom of speech to criticize any political ideology or country, and to use my money in ways that align with my values
