ISRAELI SEIGE OF AL-AWDA & KAMAL ADWAN HOSPITALS + JENIN RAID MUST BE STOPPED

The last two semi functional hospitals in northern Gaza are under a brutal siege by Israeli forces. I fear for the safety of all of those in and near al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals. We have already seen, repeatedly, that Israel will indiscriminately murder, torture, and terrorize hospitals, churches, mosques, schools, and other places civilians have sought safety and refuge during Israel's genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign. At the massacred Al-Shifa hospital, Israeli forces have been seen on video excavating hundreds of Palestinian corpses and taking them away. When these bodies were returned weeks later, they were found to have been missing organs. Many had been skinned. Israel has no respect for Palestinians, even in death. All of Gaza is being starved to death. None of the aid promised in the "humanitarian pier" our country built has been distributed. We all knew from the beginning this was a thin veneer and excuse for this administration to help Israel commit their genocide, but I would have thought you'd at least try and seem like a legitimate humanitarian operation. The barbaric raid of Jenin in the West Bank continues today, 5/22, unimpeded or questioned by this administration. Reports on the ground detail Israel intentionally stopping medical staff from trying to save civilians who have been injured. Videos show ambulances stopped by Israeli tanks. Medical staff are being reported as detained. This story sounds all too familiar to everything we've already seen Israel do since 10/7 in Gaza. 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
