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

IOF TERRORISM ON THE RISE IN THE WEST BANK

Not only has the "truce" been misleading - the IOF has been shooting to kill anyone who tries to head to the northern side of Gaza. People are trying to return home to check if their houses are standing, grab more clothes and personal belongings, and search for their loved ones who may be trapped in the rubble. Why did you allow the IOF to do this? 6 hours of a "truce" in the North is absolutely unacceptable. Meanwhile, there is no such "truce" in the West Bank, but the IOF is on the ground with tanks, murdering, raping, and detaining civilians. Do I need to remind you that Hamas is not present in the West Bank? While I'm so glad to hear that Israeli and Palestinian hostages were successfully returned home, the IOF is taking even MORE Palestinian hostages. I saw an Israeli soldier terrorize and arrest a TWO YEAR OLD CHILD. The IOF has bombed refugee camps and also attacked hospitals in the West Bank. There is no reason for this beyond terrorism. You are supporting this. You are cosigning this. You are just as responsible for these ongoing, horrific tragedies as the Israeli government. I am demanding that you: - Call for an immediate ceasefire- a "humanitarian pause" is completely insufficient - Call for the immediate end of apartheid, occupation, and ethnic cleansing of Palestine - Support both Israelis and Palestinians in efforts for real and long-lasting peace, safety, freedom, and equal rights for both groups - Continue to speak out against the disturbing rise of antisemitism, and ALSO equally condemn the rise of Islamophobia tearing our country apart - Withdraw all U.S. troops and assets sent to assist Israel - Permanently end all monetary and military aid given to Israel, whether it is directly or indirectly provided - Provide substantial, ongoing humanitarian relief to all of occupied Palestine to help them rebuild, care for the sick & injured, bury the dead with dignity, and to ensure all of their basic needs are taken care of and unable to be restricted now and in the future by any government or group - Not support any legislation that directly or indirectly allows for targeting of Palestinians both in the U.S. and abroad - Protect my freedom of speech and work against all efforts of censorship whether the form is governmental control of the Internet, penalties in-person, or other means of silencing - Restore my right of free speech to criticize any government or political ideology and provide protection against targeting, discrimination, and harassment for doing so - Repeal all federal anti-BDS laws for businesses and individuals and pass legislation that voids any and all state-level anti-BDS laws - Stop the militarization of our police force by ending the cross-training done with the IOF, and all other ways this is accomplished
