Stop Israel’s Settlement Expansion and Genocide Now

I am writing to demand—not request—that you take immediate and decisive action to stop Israel’s illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank and its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. Israel’s latest revival of settlement projects, including the one that will split the West Bank in two, is not a “security measure”—it is part of a calculated plan of ethnic cleansing and annexation. Just days ago, Israel bulldozed thousands of olive trees belonging to Palestinian families, destroying their livelihoods in order to seize more land. This is not only immoral, it is a clear violation of international law and a war crime under the Rome Statute. Your duty is to act. That means halting all weapons transfers to Israel without exception. That means signing on to and cosponsoring every piece of legislation that ends U.S. complicity in Israel’s crimes—including the Block the Bombs Act. Anything less is shameful and cowardly. Anything less makes you complicit in genocide and in Israel’s systematic destruction of Palestine. The American people do not support funding or arming genocide. Continuing to greenlight billions in weapons while Israel razes land, slaughters civilians, and starves families in Gaza and the West Bank is not “supporting an ally”—it is actively violating both U.S. and international law. This is not a polite appeal. We are not asking you—we are telling you: Take action now. End U.S. weapons transfers to Israel. Demand an end to the settlement expansion and Israel’s genocidal campaign. Every day of delay means more lives lost, more land stolen, more shame for this country. Anything less is a betrayal of your constituents, of justice, and of humanity itself.
