Constituent Demand: Condemn Israel for torture and human right abuses

You should condemn Israel for torture of prisoners held without evidence or trial. Palestinian detainees are being held without evidence or a trial, independent investigations into allegations of torture and abuse in its prisons are being blocked, and international humanitarian law is being ignored. Israel’s torture & rape of Palestinian prisoners are being defended by Knesset Members and far-right mobs. Israel's treatment of Palestinian detainees, including the confirmed deaths of Islam al-Sarsawi and Omar Junaid due to torture, is a grave human rights issue that cannot be tolerated.
I demand that you:
– Hold Israel accountable for a permanent, immediate ceasefire, their violations of the Genocide Convention, and gross human rights violations by any means necessary
– Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace
– Secure the immediate release and safety of all Palestinians who have been abducted and held captive by Israel, including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7
– Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce Leahy Law
– Reallocate all funds given to Israel and commit additional resources for ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians starting with immediately resuming funding of UNRWA
– Immediately withdraw all U.S. troops, military assets, and all other assets deployed throughout the Middle East and cease all actions that further escalate a larger regional conflict
– Pass legislation that voids all anti-BDS laws at the federal level
