10YO YAZAN WAS MURDED BY STARVATION - STOP THE GENOCIDE NOW
1,926 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!
Delivery of humanitarian aid via the already existing land crossings is the most efficient, cheapest, and fastest way to provide urgently needed help to Palestinians who are being starved to death by Israel. Experts have all been incredibly clear on this. Agencies like UNRWA must be refunded and have additional resources committed to ensure their continued operation. UNRWA can effectively distribute aid so that it gets to the people who are the most desperate. By having an immediate, permanent ceasefire and unrestricted humanitarian access into Gaza, we can prevent further death and suffering.
It's too late for us to save children like 10yo Yazan al-Kafarneh. He had cerebral palsy and required a very specific diet and medical care. Before Israel's total siege and acceleration of their genocidal ethnical cleansing campaign, Yazan was in good health. Many with cerebral palsy can and do live long and happy lives if they receive the care they need. He was 11lbs when he was murdered by the slow, brutal starvation Israel has imposed on all of the Gaza strip. Israelis made fun of what he looked like just before his death online and called him an alien. He was so emaciated, skeletal, and weak he was unrecognizable from what he looked like before 10/7.
It's not too late for us to save the rest of Gaza. Do the right thing and do it now. Use every avenue available, and make ways to if needed. Israel's genocide must be stopped. This black stain on humanity will haunt us all just as the horrific, brutal Holocaust has.
I demand that you:
- Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire
- Call for the immediate end of Israel's occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace
- Hold Israel accountable for their violations of the Genocide Convention and all other international laws by any means necessary
- 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
- 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
