The Al-Aqsa Hospital will totally run out of fuel any moment, today 5/23. It's likely as you're reading this the hospital has been forced to cease operating and 1,300 patients will be without the limited medical treatment the hospital is providing. Right now only the neonatal intensive care unit is the only part of the hospital with power. Once the fuel runs out, all of the infants will be at risk of imminent death. We've seen this over and over in Gaza since 10/7. How many infants need to die in incubators with no power? Will Israel force everyone out of Al-Aqsa Hospital soon and leave the infants to die from starvation and exposure?
Over 100 human rights groups have signed a letter urging this administration to support the ICC and its independence. This country undermining the highest international courts spells chaos for the whole world. The lengths this administration will go to facilitate and participate in a genocide instead of stopping are insane.
I demand that you:
– Hold Israel accountable for a permanent, immediate ceasefire, their violations of the Genocide Convention, and gross human rights violations by any means necessary
– Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace
– Secure the immediate release and safety of all Palestinians who have been abducted and held captive by Israel, including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7
– Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce Leahy Law
– Reallocate all funds given to Israel and commit additional resources for ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians starting with immediately resuming funding of UNRWA
– 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
– Pass legislation that voids all anti-BDS laws at the federal level
– Vote no on H.R. 7521 and any similar legislation proposed
