On Feb 11, 2024 Business Insider published a story about a six-year-old girl named Hind who went missing in Gaza City who was found dead. She was discovered with two paramedics who had attempted to rescue her. She had made contact with emergency services and begged them to save her as she hid from the Israeli military. In her final moments, she said “Come take me…I’m so scared. Please come.” The two paramedics, Yusuf Al-Zeino and Ahmed Al-Madhou, were discovered dead in a burned out ambulance near the car where Hind was found dead, with her dead family beside her.
How can you continue to support this genocide? Families are being destroyed. Emergency services cannot even reach people. Israel’s bombardment has likely killed their own hostages that they claim to want to rescue. Israeli Prime Ministers have expressed genocidal intent repeatedly. The world watches as you fund and endorse this genocide.
I support a ceasefire, along with 66 Congressmembers (as of Jan 29), 61% of American voters, and over 70% of Democrats (Data for Progress). We are paying attention to representatives who publicly call for a permanent ceasefire, which will shape the 2024 elections.
I am demanding you to take immediate steps to deescalate violence in Gaza and Israel by calling for 1) a total and permanent ceasefire, 2) humanitarian aid allowed to enter Gaza, 3) an end to Israel's siege on Gaza, 4) the release of all Palestinian and Israeli hostages, 5) no more weapons or funding to the Israeli military, 6) the reinstatement of UNRWA funding. A permanent ceasefire is an absolutely critical step to ensuring everlasting liberation and peace.
Never again means never again for anyone. 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, and Muslim people are intertwined. There can only be true safety when we are all free from oppression.
U.S. made weapons are killing entire families in Gaza. Our tax dollars are directly funding this genocide. The ICJ ruled that Israel should do everything in its power to prevent genocide. South Africa is also suing President Biden for participating in this genocide. You must take action now and end all U.S. support in Israel's enactment of this genocide.
