URGENT!! Free the Flotilla Hostages, End Arms Transfers to Israel Now
21 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!
Volunteers aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla—humanitarian activists carrying food, medicine, and basic supplies for starving civilians in Gaza—have been taken hostage by Israel. These volunteers, from dozens of countries, are not criminals. They are not combatants. They are humanitarians, and their abduction is a blatant violation of international law.
By seizing peaceful volunteers and their ships, Israel has once again proven its contempt for human rights, international law, and the most basic standards of decency. The blockade of Gaza, long recognized as collective punishment and therefore illegal under international law, is now being enforced with piracy and hostage-taking on the open seas. This is state terrorism.
I demand that you:
1. Take immediate action to secure the release of the flotilla volunteers being held hostage by Israel.
2. Publicly and unequivocally support breaking Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza.
3. End all U.S. arms transfers to Israel, which are being used to enforce the blockade, slaughter civilians, and starve an entire population.
Your silence makes you complicit. Your continued funding of Israel’s war machine makes you responsible. These are not abstract policy debates—they are crimes against humanity unfolding in real time. If you cannot act to free humanitarians taken hostage for delivering food and medicine, then what possible justification do you have for calling yourself a public servant?
I expect decisive action—not statements, not excuses, but concrete steps to end U.S. complicity in these atrocities.
