Every single day Israel's massacres in Gaza escalate to top the day before. Today, 7/28, at least 66 have been murdered and 241 wounded over the past 24 hours from the indiscriminate Israeli bombardments across Gaza. Israel has also bombed civilians in south and east Lebanon in "retaliation" against Hezbollah. Civilians are not a target. We've seen the same pattern over and over again.
This comes on the heels of the slaughter of Palestinians in Khan Younis on 7/23. In only 12 hours, half the time it took today, 70 Palestinians were murdered and over 200 wounded. The areas in Khan Younis bombarded corresponded with the areas Israel had previously forcibly moved refugees to from Rafah for "safety". The "humanitarian zone" was supposed to be where Palestinians would be "safe" - instead, it just became the scene for the slaughter meant for Rafah.
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
