I’m asking you to stop — just for a moment — and look at this not as a politician, but as a human being.
Look in the mirror. Look at your children, if you have them. Then ask yourself: What would you do if they were starving, bombed, buried in rubble, denied water, medicine, shelter?
This is what the people of Gaza are enduring right now. Over 55,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of them women and children. Many more are missing, wounded, or dying slowly under siege.
This is not self-defense. This is systematic destruction. Starvation is being used as a weapon. Aid is blocked or militarized. Civilians are killed daily. Recent massacres at food lines in Khan Younis are only the latest atrocity.
These are gross violations of international humanitarian law — including the Geneva Conventions. UN agencies, Médecins Sans Frontières, the ICRC, and human rights experts have described the situation as a war crime, possibly genocide.
I am demanding that you:
• Call for a permanent ceasefire
• End all U.S. military funding to Israel
• Ensure full, unimpeded humanitarian access
• Support international investigations into war crimes
You are accountable for what you do — and what you allow.
History will not forget. But more importantly: can you live with yourself if you look away now?
