6/10 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

More than half of the buildings in Gaza have been destroyed by Israel. From UNRWA – “Clearing the rubble will take years. Healing from the psychological trauma of this war will take even longer.” UNICEF advised that the children in Gaza make up “the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history.” These children face a lifelong physical and psychological recovery, with the needed medical care to begin rehabilitation nearly impossible today due to Israel’s intentional targeting and destruction of the entire medical care system. These children are not collateral damage. Even in 2020 during Palestinians peacefully marching in protest, Israeli forces admitted to intentionally shooting Palestinians in the knees to disable them. Beyond admission – they bragged about how many people they could disable in a day. Every day you allow Israel to continue and our country to participate in this genocide, the future for all Palestinian children is held hostage.

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
