An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress

FIND JOURNALIST MANSOUR SCHOUMAN - CEASEFIRE NOW

The right time to call for a ceasefire was October. The second right time is right now. Palestinian-Canadian journalist Mansour Schouman has been missing since the brutal siege and attack on the Nasser Hospital where he was last known to be sheltering. He has shown us what true integrity and bravery looks like, along with the many others reporting on the horrors of the genocide. There must be a ceasefire immediately. People are suffering beyond our comprehension. On top of the brutality Israel has waged on Palestine, so many are missing and their loved ones left in the dark. Mansour must be found. All others missing must be found. You need to use every avenue at your disposal to get Israel to release all who've been kidnapped. Journalists are not a target. Civilians are not a target. Israel continuing to do so in spite of the ICJ ruling and global outcry continues to prove they will not stop this genocide until they are forced to. Make this madness stop right now. I demand that you:  - Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the West Bank, and all areas the Israeli military is murdering or otherwise violating the human rights of Palestinians - Call for the immediate end of genocide, apartheid, and occupation, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom, peace, and their human rights - Call for the immediate release of Palestinian “prisoners” (hostages) held captive in Israeli military prisons - Permanently end all monetary and military aid given to Israel by correcting our budget and enforcing Leahy Law - Reallocate all funds given to Israel to ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians to help them rebuild, care for the sick & injured, bury the dead with dignity, and ensure all of their basic needs are taken care of - Repeal all federal anti-BDS laws and pass legislation that voids all state-level anti-BDS laws - Restore my right to free speech and the freedom of the press by condemning all discrimination or harassment for criticizing any government or political ideology (including zionism) and by doing everything possible to prevent future assaults to my rights, including governmental control and/or censorship of the Internet - Stop the militarization of our police by ending all cross-training done with the Israeli military, ceasing the construction of the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, and all other ways this is accomplished - Pass legislation that prohibits any governmental action that would target any ethnic, religious, or other minority group (including Palestinians), either in the U.S. or abroad, by restricting humanitarian or financial aid, infringing on their human rights, or other actions that would otherwise bring harm or cause undue burdens on said groups
