I am writing to demand that you immediately cosponsor the Justice for Hind Rajab Act (S.4095) and its counterpart legislation on the House of Representatives.
Five-year-old Hind Rajab was killed alongside her family when Israeli forces fired hundreds of bullets into their car as they fled Gaza. Two paramedics sent to rescue her—along an approved route—were also killed. Investigations documented over 350 bullet impacts in the vehicle.
This was not “fog of war.” It was a documented killing of a child and those trying to save her.
Yet there has been no meaningful accountability.
The Justice for Hind Rajab Act requires the U.S. government to:
• Investigate the killing and broader patterns of civilian harm
• Report on whether U.S. law—including the Leahy Law—has been violated
• Ensure accountability for those responsible, including potential prosecution under U.S. war crimes statutes
Congress cannot continue to fund and enable abuses while refusing to investigate them.
This bill is the bare minimum. It does not impose consequences—it demands answers. And even that is being resisted.
Hind Rajab’s killing is not an isolated incident. It is emblematic of a pattern in which tens of thousands of Palestinian children have been killed or injured during this assault.
If Congress will not act in the face of this level of documented violence against children, then what standard—if any—remains?
I am demanding that you:
• Cosponsor the Justice for Hind Rajab Act immediately
• Publicly support a full investigation and accountability for her killing
• Uphold U.S. law by ensuring no assistance goes to units, groups, or states implicated in human rights violations
Anything less is support for these war crimes.
History will record whether you chose accountability—or silence.
