STOP ISRAEL'S INVASION INTO KHAN YOUNIS & PROTECT JOURNALISTS

In the past 24 hours today, 50 Palestinians have been murdered and 124 wounded by Israeli forces in their expanding ground invasion into Deir el-Balah near Khan Younis. One of those who lost their lives today was yet another journalist. Hamza Abdul Rahman Murtaja was murdered while doing his job as a photographer and independent reporter. According to Gaza's Media Office, Hamza is the 170th journalist murdered since 10/7. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), more journalists have been murdered in the first 10 weeks of Israel's genocidal war than in any other conflict since the CPJ began collecting this data in 1992. Journalists are not a target. I demand that you:  – Hold Israel accountable for a permanent, immediate ceasefire, their violations of the Genocide Convention, and gross human rights violations by any means necessary – Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace – Secure the immediate release and safety of all Palestinians who have been abducted and held captive by Israel, including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7 – Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce Leahy Law – Reallocate all funds given to Israel and commit additional resources for ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians starting with immediately resuming funding of UNRWA – Immediately withdraw all U.S. troops, military assets, and all other assets deployed throughout the Middle East and cease all actions that further escalate a larger regional conflict – Pass legislation that voids all anti-BDS laws at the federal level – Vote no on H.R. 7521 and any similar legislation proposed
