BUREIJ REFUGEE CAMP MASSACRE, MASS CASUALTIES IN 24 HOURS

1,170 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

Massacre upon massacre, with no end in sight. Today, 7/21, Israel has murdered at least 64 and injured over 105 in the past 24 hours. The level of destruction has slowed down rescue crews as many are still under the rubble. The casualty count is expected to continue to rise as rescue and recovery operations are ongoing. One of the massacres at the Bureij refugee camp housing displaced people has been beyond horrific. Paramedics on the scene described that, “many of the wounded are left in the streets bleeding to death." Israel's assault hasn't stopped in Gaza today. In Yemen at least 6 have been murdered and 83 injured after targeted airstrikes hitting an oil storage facility and power plant in Hodeidah. All victims have been civilians. Targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Given Israel's history in Gaza, however, this is just par for the course due to this administration's carte blanche approval of their actions. Since 10/7, over 9,700 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem have been indefinitely detained and held in Israel "military prisons". We all know at this point what those "prisons" really are - concentration death camps. The level of depravity in the torture of Palestinian hostages by Israel should shock the conscience of every person who has one. It's clear the decision makers in this administration do not have one, however. I implore you find it and see Palestinians as people, too. This cannot be allowed to continue. 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
