An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Gaza Starves, Aid Groups Denied Access - Demand Humanitarian Aid For Gaza

26 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

My grandparents' generation had to live with the shame of allowing the Holocaust to happen. All over the world, if people had been paying attention, the information about what was happening in Germany and the surrounding area was there to be seen, and it took years for anyone to do anything about it. An entire generation of people had to live with the shame of allowing millions of people to be imprisoned or deported, starved, and slaughtered based solely on their ethnicity, religion, and location. My generation's greatest shame will be Gaza. We have no excuse- the information isn't just there to be found, it is everywhere. There is video, there are photographs, there are endless live-streamed reports showing the starvation and inhumane conditions that exist in Gaza right now. Israel has just denied access to Doctors Without Borders as well as multiple other humanitarian groups. Babies are starving to death while the world watches. Parents are weeping over the bodies of their children while Trump meets with Netanyahu to slap him on the back and calls him friend. We should be better than this, and one day you will look back on this and claim you were against it from the beginning, but we will all remember. The world will remember that Congress did nothing but aid Israel while Gaza starved. Aid groups must be allowed into Gaza, and the US must demand Netanyahu face consequences for what he's done to Palestine. I call on Congress to push Netanyahu to allow aid to Gaza. Stop the slaughter.
