From Al Jazeera on October 4: The UN's children's agency called for a ceasefire noting "physical injuries and psychological suffering" has risen significantly in Lebanon. "This catastrophic conflict is taking a heavy toll on children. Doctors tell us of treating children bleeding, bruised and broken suffering both physically and psychologically," Adele Khodr, UNICEF's regional director, said in a statement. According to Data For Progress, the majority of America - 56% of Republicans and 86% of Democrats - support a permanent ceasefire. 70% of Democrats support restricting weapons funding to Israel. Are you going to listen to the people? Are you going to center humanity? President Biden’s administration continues to supply and fund Israel while knowing since October 2023 that Israel has been targeting civilians. Secretary Blinken knew that Israel was blocking aid from entering Gaza and lied about it. This is continued participation in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, indiscriminate massacres of civilians in Palestine and Lebanon, and a violation of Leahy Law, which prohibits our government from funding foreign forces who are implicated in gross human rights violations, including targeting civilians and deliberately preventing access to humanitarian assistance. What will presidential candidate Kamala Harris do differently? I am demanding you to take immediate steps to stop Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and massacres of civilians in Lebanon by calling for no more weapons or funding to the Israeli military. I support Senator Sanders’ Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to block arms sales to Israel. The ICJ ruled that Israel should do everything in its power to prevent genocide. Never again means never again for anyone. All people - including Palestinians - deserve to live with freedom and safety which means first stopping this genocide and then ensuring liberation from occupation and apartheid. The liberation and safety of Palestinians, Israelis, Jewish people, Muslim people, and Lebanese people are intertwined. There can only be true safety when we are all free from oppression.
