Stop denying that:
- ALL of “israel” is Palestinian land stolen through violent settler-colonialism.
- Palestinians in Palestine live under “israeli” apartheid.
- What’s happening is a genocide. This is impossible to refute as “israeli” officials have stated their genocidal intent on record.
- International law recognizes the right of Palestinian people to resist occupation, explicitly including through the use of armed forces when necessary. Against a brutal military occupation, how else could they resist?
- As the occupying force, “israel” has absolutely no right to enact the horrific violence they do. In fact, even if you wanted to prioritize laws over humanity, “israel” has been in direct violation of Occupation Law since its 1967 unprecedented military onslaught against civilians during which it occupied the entirety of Palestine.
- More than 21,000 Palestinians have died since Oct. 7th, as of 12/28.
- You are in violation of your own laws by continuing to support “israel”: the Leahy law prevents the U.S. from providing assistance to governments when there is incriminating evidence of their gross violations of human rights.
- By refusing to call for a ceasefire, you are betraying the will of 2/3 of American voters.
I demand that you:
- Call for an immediate and permanent CEASEFIRE — anything less guarantees a continuation of the genocide — and a complete end to “israeli” occupation of Palestine.
- Express explicit support for full Palestinian liberation: from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
- Provide substantial, ongoing monetary aid to all surviving Palestinians. They need clean water, food, shelter, medical care, and the restoration of infrastructure. They don’t deserve to be in this situation, and the least you could do is make it stop. Make sure they can mourn the 21,000+ Palestinians killed in this horrific genocide (as of 12/27/23) without constant fear of losing more loved ones. You must ensure that their survival and rights have guaranteed protection.
- Condemn not only “israeli” violence and lies but the existence of the state of “israel” itself.
- Immediately revoke all support for “israel”. Do not send another dollar or weapon. Cut diplomatic ties and end the cross-training done between American police and the “i”of.
- Void all federal, state, and local laws that oppose the BDS Movement as they are unconstitutional and unjust.
- Expedite the implementation of a refugee resettlement program for Palestinians to relocate to the United States.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
