A TRUCE ISN'T A CEASEFIRE- END THE GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS TODAY

Hi Staffer, I've been putting off writing to you today because I was hoping beyond hope the nightmare unfolding in occupied Palestine would be put to an end. It's clear that isn't going to be the case. Israeli PM Netanyahu made it clear earlier today 11/21, any truce would be temporary and "the war" will continue. All hospitals in Northern Gaza are now completely nonfunctional. Medical staff and journalists continue to be targeted by the IOF. Violence from Iraelis in the occupied West Bank only grows. My government, YOUR government, is continuing to supply the military arms and technology that Israel needs to continue their brutal assault. Please participate in a staffer walkout. Maybe if government reps had to read their own emails they'd start to get the idea that the American people are united against this genocide. As for your boss, this is my message. I ask you to: - 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
