Despite the ICJ's recent ruling for additional provisional measures for Israel to immediately halt the ground offense and bombardments of Rafah, today, 5/25, Israeli tanks and troops are advancing towards Rafah. Israel's claim that the ICJ's ruling is “outrageous, morally repugnant, and disgusting”, would be laughable if their circumvention of international law did not come at the cost of over 2 million Palestinians being starved to death in Gaza, and the ongoing brutal Israeli terrorist attacks across occupied-Palestine. Every accusation is a confession. Israel's actions, even well before 10/7, have been outrageous, morally repugnant, and disgusting.
In another poor attempt at propaganda, Israel recently circulated photos of "the commander of the Qassam Brigades' Rafah battalion", using the photo of Egyptian Sports Journalist Mohamed Shabana. Again, it'd be hilarious if it didn't now endanger every single Palestinian man who resembles Shabana as Israeli forces invade, terrorize, and continue to commit war crimes in Gaza.
Under the cover of most of the world's attention on Gaza, Israel is escalating their ground troop invasion, bombardments, and terroristic acts in the West Bank. If Israel continues to be unchecked, we will see the rest of occupied Palestine under the same conditions as Gaza. This has always been Israel's end game. The towns of Yabrud, Ni'lin, and Beit Rima are currently facing the brunt of the attacks by both Israeli forces and settler-colonial terrorists, whose actions Israel both approves of and helps facilitate. The Qalandia refugee camp is similarly targeted. Palestinians are being abducted as they approach the apartheid check points, today it was the Al-Sahira Gate where Israeli forces were caught abducting two Palestinian children. These only represent a small fraction of Israeli crimes against humanity in the West Bank in recent days. 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
