An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Two-state solution is in jeopardy, Israel wants genocide

Israel just had a conference, in Jerusalem, about ethnically cleansing Gaza, six Israeli cabinet members were there, including Smotrich and Ben-Givr, settlers, and others. They had a big map showing how they're going to resettle all of Gaza. They were dancing and celebrating. This should be deeply concerning to all of you!  See: On Democracy Now, posted today, Jan 31, 2024. https://youtu.be/7J0_J3Qy6YY?si=kdG-jArBca5Wv03L This is just one of many signs and statements,  made by cabinet officials, including Netanyahu, that they have no intention of stopping their assault on Gaza, and no intention of yielding to international authorities, or law. They repeat that they want all of Gaza, and the West Bank. For that matter they also want part of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. They're not going to stop until they get all that, and I doubt they'll stop even then.  They haven't had to pay for their abusive choices, because we've been paying for it. We didn't authorize this, we need that money for our citizens, our infrastructure, maybe even our defense. It's time they had to pay the bill, for their own actions.   Your constituents have told you repeatedly not to fund Israel. Do not give them any more weapons, money, or military support. Don't guarantee any more of their loans. Do not veto to protect them, do not announce you'll protect them publicly in any way.  This is not just to appeal to your constituents, it's because supporting Israel is not in the best interest, of our cpuntry. Even the Pentagon thinks they are detrimental to our national security. Giving them our weapon stores was unwise, giving them our money, that our citizens and society needs, was a betrayal, of every citizen. Israel continues to escalate the crisis, they jeopardize our relationships with other allies, isolating us from the world, while also trying to trigger WWIII. We do not want WWIII! We do not want Israel committing genocide. You know Israel fits the definition of a terrorist state, perfectly. You are literally, giving weapons to a terrorist; a spoiled terrorist, behaving like a toddler; this makes all of you complicit in their genocide. Biden is already being sued for his role in the genocide. There are upcoming cases to indict the United States in its complicity with genocide, these might include other members of the cabinet, and Congress.  Stop backing Israel, and start fighting it, tooth and nail. No more support for Israel, nor for Biden and Blinken, regarding Israel, or any escalation of tensions in the middle east.  Stop escalating the already tense situation in the middle east. Retract the  classification of Houthis as "terrorist", and stop bombing them, and everyone else, immediately.  Call for an immediate, and permanent ceasefire!  Get humanitarian aid into Gaza, even if it requires force, against the IDF!!
