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

REFUGEES FIRED ON MINUTES AFTER ISRAEL EVACUATION ORDERS GIVEN

905 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

The entire area in eastern Khan Younis, where many in Rafah were forced to "evacuate to" is now being "evacuated" again. Over 400,000 people are being told to leave. Minutes after the evacuation order was communicated by Israeli forces, they began unleashing artillery fire and aerial bombardments across the area. Explain to me how this is indicates Israel has "the most moral army in the world"? 400,000 people go outside and prepare to leave as directed, then they're indiscriminately fired upon. That isn't an evacuation - that is a massacre. That is an act of genocide. Today, 7/22, a total of 39,006 Palestinian deaths have been reported since 10/7. Using the most conservative estimate multiplier provided in the academic paper “Counting the dead in Gaza: difficult but essential“ published in The Lancet recently, that means approximately 195,030 Palestinians have been murdered by Israel. We've known since late October 2023 the death count is inaccurate, but not in the way this administration has alleged. There aren't enough people left to identify the dead, rescue those trapped under the rubble, etc. The conditions are so dangerous that often rescue crews must wait long after a massacre has occurred to try and bring the limited excavators and equipment needed to free people trapped under the rubble. 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
