Per the UN, over 25,000 tons of explosives have been dropped on Gaza since 10/7, largely directed by Israeli AI programs "The Gospel", "Lavender", and “Where’s Daddy?" - a disgusting moniker given to a system made to murder entire families in their homes at night. Among the indiscriminate, high volume usage of explosives are the 2,000lb "bunker buster bombs" that you provided to Israel with my tax dollars. The level of destruction is beyond catastrophic and has only continued and widened in scope. This is because of my country. I never thought I would live to see a day where my country is committing a genocide by proxy and that the sustained, collective outrage by the public would go ignored.
I understand now that our genocides by proxy are nothing new - seems to be a matter of standard foreign policy at this point. All the talk of "protecting America's interests", and how the military industrial complex "makes us more safe" is pure insanity. I do not feel safer with the actions of my government both internationally and abroad. You have completely lost touch not just with your own humanity, but the voices of the American people you have been elected to serve.
My voice is one of many, and we will not be silent. Caring about our country's involvement in a horrific genocide isn't a trend, antisemitic, or something you can disappear with increasing censorship, silencing of dissent, and gaslighting. You may never listen to me, but I won't stop speaking.
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
