Israel displacing more Palestinians in South Gaza - Permanent Ceasefire NOW

From Al Jazeera on July 28: Israel's army sent tanks deeper into southern Gaza as health officials say attacks killed 66 Palestinians across the besieged enclave in the past 24 hours. Armoured vehicles pushed into the three towns of al-Karara, az-Zanna, and Bani Suheila in eastern Khan Younis city. Medics said at least nine Palestinians were killed by Israeli military strikes in those areas. Residents said fierce fighting could be heard. The new incursions caused thousands more Palestinians to flee their homes and head to overcrowded al-Mawasi to the west and central Deir el-Balah. President Biden continues to supply and fund Israel while knowing since October 2023 that Israel has been targeting civilians. On July 11, he approved more 500 pound bombs to supply Israel. This is continued participation in Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and a violation of Leahy Law, which prohibits our government from funding foreign forces who are implicated in gross human rights violations. International scholar and lawyer, Francesca Albanese, has documented how Israel’s gross human rights violations and war crimes are genocidal acts, including their targeting of hospitals and healthcare workers, targeting journalists and civilians, using starvation as a weapon, etc. Israeli government officials have repeatedly expressed genocidal intent. Sites of learning, culture, and historical memory — universities, mosques, churches, museums — have been decimated. The Gaza Strip's ability to produce food and clean water has been severely destroyed by Israeli airstrikes and bulldozers which have razed farms and orchards. People have unearthed mass graves with evidence of torture. As people of conscience, we will not ignore this. According to Data For Progress, 86% of Democrats support a permanent ceasefire, and 70% of Democrats support restricting weapons funding to Israel. Are you going to listen to the people? Are you going to center humanity? I am demanding you to take immediate steps to stop Israel’s genocide of Palestinians by calling for 1) a total and permanent bilateral ceasefire, 2) humanitarian aid allowed to enter Gaza, 3) an end to Israel's siege on Gaza, 4) the release of all Palestinian and Israeli hostages, 5) no more weapons or funding to the Israeli military, 6) the reinstatement of U.N.R.W.A funding. A permanent ceasefire is an absolutely critical step to ensuring everlasting liberation and peace. The I.C.J. ruled that Israel should do everything in its power to prevent genocide. Never again means never again for anyone. Palestinians deserve to live with freedom and safety which means first stopping this genocide and then ensuring liberation from occupation and apartheid. The liberation and safety of Palestinians, Israelis, Jewish people, and Muslim people are intertwined. There can only be true safety when we are all free from oppression.
