Honor Our Shared Traditions—Support a Ceasefire and End Military Aid to Genocide To all Members of Congress, During this sacred season—when many observe Passover and Easter, honoring stories of liberation, resurrection, and moral courage—we call on you to remember the real people at the heart of those traditions. Jesus was a Palestinian Jew under Roman occupation. Palestinians today are also Semitic people—descendants of the same land and legacy. To support the destruction of their lives, their homes, and their futures is not only a political failure—it is a spiritual one. We, the undersigned, urge you to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and to condition U.S. military aid to Israel on adherence to international law and human rights. Over 14,000 Palestinian children have been killed. Entire neighborhoods have been leveled. Food, water, and medical access are being denied to millions. This is not defense. This is collective punishment. We were taught Tikkun Olam—to repair the world. We remember Jesus’ teaching: Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me. These values call us not to justify cruelty, but to resist it. We urge you to: – Demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire – Halt unconditional U.S. military aid – Protect civilians and uphold international law – Restore moral integrity to U.S. foreign policy This is not about left or right. It is about right and wrong. Let this be a true season of deliverance—for all people. History is watching. The future is listening.
