We Are One Body — Stop Policies That Poison the Planet

I write not only as a citizen, but as a living being on a shared Earth — one that is being wounded by war, pollution, and violent policies cloaked as “defense.” The bombs dropped on Gaza poison the soil. The weapons sent to Israel and other regions tear through generations of life — human, animal, ancestral, ecological. The fires of war burn carbon into the sky. The blockade starves not only bodies, but the land itself. This is not just geopolitics. This is a spiritual and environmental emergency. I demand: 1. A full ceasefire in Gaza and an end to all military aggression in the region — for the sake of human and ecological survival. 2. An end to U.S. military shipments that fuel mass death and ecological collapse. 3. A truth-and-repair process to acknowledge the environmental destruction wrought by U.S. weapons worldwide. 4. Global recognition of ecocide as a prosecutable crime. We share one planet. One atmosphere. One web of life. And when you sanction destruction abroad, you unravel the breath of your own grandchildren. Let the weapons rust. Let the land heal. Let us remember what it means to be human.
