    6/15 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    Israel’s indiscriminate slaughter as part of their ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has claimed the lives of 2 more Israeli hostages, today 6/15. It’s been obvious since the beginning Israel doesn’t even care about their own people being collateral damage as long as they are able to continue their ethnic cleansing campaign. In fact, there is mounting, credible evidence that Israel has intentionally sought out to murder their own. The UN Human Rights Commission’s recent report outlines multiple times the “officially revoked” Hannibal Directive was used by Israel, including on 10/7. The directive authorizes Israeli forces to murder other Israelis to prevent their possible capture. A verified statement from an Israeli solider proved they intentionally targeted a vehicle they believed to have Israeli hostages with the explicit purpose to murder, not save them.

    Israel has targeted all means necessary to sustain life in Gaza. Every single water well has now been destroyed in northern Gaza. No one in Gaza has access to clean water which has led to a disturbing surge in water borne diseases. No hospital in Gaza has ever been safe from Israel’s intentional destruction, either. The full details of the absolute destruction of the Al-Shifa Hospital only gets clearer by the day – testimony from survivors is disturbing. Israeli forces tortured, murdered, and took hundreds of hostages. Palestinians were subjected to systematic sexual violence as part of the torture. Unfortunately, this is also not a new crime against humanity Israel has committed.

    Another recent UN report exposed the systematic targeted sexual and gender-based violence Israel has employed against Palestinians since just 10/7. Throughout occupied Palestine, not just in Gaza, Israel has subjected Palestinian men, women, and children to forced public nudity, sexual torture and abuse, as well as sexual harassment and humiliation. Men and boys have faced the most severe forms of sexual violence. Israeli forces are violently sodomizing men and boys causing severe internal injuries that have even led to multiple deaths.

    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

    – 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

    2/22 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    On 2/21, the UN OCHA head described the dire condition of the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis as “a place of death”. Approximately 70 of the brave medical staff who remained at the hospital to care for the critically ill, premature babies, and other patients who could not be moved, along with a dozen of those patients were abducted by Israel. We don’t know their fates, but it’s likely they’ve been taken to a death camp, “military prison”, to be tortured, as many other hostages have been.

    Palestinian-Canadian Mansour Shouman, an independent journalist and humanitarian worker, was last known to be sheltering at the Nasser Hospital. There are reports the building he was in was targeted by bombs. The EMS cannot reach him due to the barbaric seige and genocidal activity of Israel. Even if Israel “allowed” an ambulance into the area, we all know those brave EMS workers would face the same fate as those who desperately tried to save 6-year-old Hind Rajab. Even when coordination is attemtped and Israel says they will let EMS save people, they intentionally murder them all anyway.

    It’s not too late to do the right thing. I am begging you to save Mansour and all the other Palestinians in occupied-Palestine who are being targeted, attacked, and murdered.

    I demand that you: 

    – Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire

    – Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace

    – Hold Israel accountable for their violations of the Genocide Convention and all other international laws by any means necessary

    – 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 resume 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

    – Restore my right to free speech and the freedom of the press by condemning all discrimination or harassment for criticizing any government or political ideology (including zionism) and by doing everything possible to prevent future assaults to my rights, including governmental control and/or censorship of the Internet

    2/21 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    I’m not surprised our country abused our UN Security Council veto vote, again, to stop a permanent ceasefire resolution, but I continue to be disgusted. Had the U.S. veto not been used, the resolution would have passed.

    Over 600k people in northern Gaza are starving at levels unheard of. The small amount of aid that makes it is quickly exhausted, leaving many without. Israel targets these food distributions, murdering starving people both in the north and throughout Gaza.

    The ICJ hearing regarding Israel’s barbaric genocide and war crimes has had the largest number of parties to participate ever recorded. Save a few genocide apologists, the 52 countries were in support of stopping Israel’s genocide.

    I am so ashamed of being American. That is 100% your fault. How do you live with yourself knowing what you’ve done?

    I demand that you: 

    – Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire

    – Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace

    – Hold Israel accountable for their violations of the Genocide Convention and all other international laws by any means necessary

    – 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

    2/15 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    You failed the innocent people at the Nasser Hospital. I have been begging for you to speak up and intervene to stop another series of Israeli war crimes at another hospital in Palestine for weeks now. The attacks have now escalated to Israel’s evil end game. The refugees sheltering were forcibly removed at gun point while Israeli forces used loud speakers to demean them calling them animals, dogs, and other disgusting, racist, and dehumanizing things. Israel is using targeted drone strikes, tank artillery, and snipers to massacre those in and near the hospital.

    The ER was already flooding with sewage water yesterday, and after recent targeted bombardments, including the orthopedic unit, the entire hospital is now exposed to sewage water. I watched footage from doctors and journalists of the immediate aftermath- it is hell on Earth. I watched as medical workers desperately tried to move a man in a hospital bed. Sewage water coming from the ceiling – the man was so covered in debris and blood I couldn’t fully see his face. My first thought was that the man in the hospital bed was going to die. Even if he was successfully evacuated, he was already recovering from a likely leg amputation and is now covered in sewage water which will cause catastrophic infection. There are no antibiotics. There are no pain meds. If he survives the massacres at the Nasser Hospital, he will die a horrific, painful, and slow death. Tell me again that Israel is “defending itself”. Explain how this is self defense.

    Mansour Shouman, a Palestinian-Canadian journalist and independent humanitarian worker, was last known to be sheltering at the hospital. He only just survived his last ordeal nearly being murdered by Israeli snipers when he was trying to help set up tent encampments for displaced people. No one has heard from him in days. I am terrified he has been murdered, or abducted by Israel. Those abducted face severe torture, and eventual execution. Only a lucky few are released from when Israel has kidnapped them from other hospitals they’ve destroyed.

    Approximately 28,600 – 36,600 Palestinians have been murdered in Gaza by Israel since 10/7. How many more need to die before you do something? You have abandoned the American citizens still trapped in Gaza, and other foreign nationals from our closest allies like Mansour Shouman.

    I demand that you: 

    – Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in occupied-Palestine

    – Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid brutally imposed on Palestine, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace

    – Hold Israel accountable for their war crimes and violations of the Genocide Convention and other international laws

    – 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

    *Why are you citing reports shared on Instagram?

    These are first-hand accounts from journalists and other civilians showing the truth of what is happening. I have no reason to believe the sources I’ve cited are not true. These accounts also corroborate the reporting from sources like Al Jazeera about what is happening.

    Estimated deaths as of 2/13 – 2/15 from multiple sources*

    Al Jazeera quotes 28,663 dead as of 2/15/24. Al Jazeera always includes the most up-to-date official death tolls on their Breaking/live updates page. Because the daily live pages are refreshed so frequently for each new day, I can’t link you to a specific date. You can always check the Breaking/live section on their site for the most recent official numbers.

    EuroMed Monitor quotes an estimated 36,671 dead shown on an infographic posted on their Instagram (link to post) as of 2/13/24. Their website has past infographics, but does not currently have this newest one included as of writing this blog post. This is not unusual- I believe they first post on social media and then add to the infographic section of their site later. Prior infographics posted on Instagram and then shown on their site have the exact same figures & data.

    *Why are multiple sources used for the death count?

    Associated Press “Gaza health officials say they lost the ability to count dead as Israeli offensive intensifies“

    The situation in Gaza has only gotten worse since the AP published this article on 11/21. The official numbers we are seeing from Gaza’s Ministry of Health are undercounted, and have been since at least 11/21.

    EuroMed Monitor is a NGO established in 2011 that advocates for the human rights of all persons across Europe and the MENA region. They have a regional office in the Palestinian Occupied Territories. I believe their estimates are credible which is why I quote them, and will continue to, when referring to the estimated death toll.

    My personal opinion is that the true number is even higher than estimated- people are dying from starvation, thirst, infections, and illnesses. Even if the genocide ended this moment, these types of deaths will unfortunately continue for some time. I believe their deaths should be counted. They may not have been shot/bombed/etc. by the Israeli military, but their deaths are directly attributable to the total siege, occupation, and intentional** destruction of civilian, water, waste management, and medical infrastructure by Israel.

    **Why are you accusing Israel of intentionally destroying important infrastructure and targeting civilians?

    It’s not an accusation. They’ve admitted to it.

    2/12 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    I’ve noticed a pattern – Halloween, Thanksgiving weekend, the week of Christmas and Christmas day, New Years, and now the Superbowl weekend, the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza peaks. I’ve seen the horrific massacres that began literally the moment the Superbowl began and is still ongoing today. Rafah is the farthest south and the “safe zone” Israel ordered the entirety of the Gaza strip to evacuate to. It is now the most densely populated area in the world. Approximately 1.5 – 1.7 million displaced people are in Rafah. Over half the population is in this small area of land right at the Egyptian border. There is no where else to go. Israel did not create an “evacuation plan” and despite Biden saying there had to be before the ground offensive, it continued on.

    I guess I shouldn’t be surprised when Biden literally called the massacres a U.S. “military operation in Rafah” in a press conference today after his meeting with the King of Jordan. Did he misspeak or was this a Freudian slip revealing the truth? I’m leaning more towards the actual truth since this is my same genocidal president who decided to post on X a creepy image of himself with red eyes the moment bombs were mass murdering Palestinians during the Superbowl.

    I demand that you: 

    – Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and all other areas of occupied-Palestine

    – Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid brutally imposed on Palestine, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace

    – Hold Israel accountable for their war crimes and violations of the Genocide Convention and other international laws

    – 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

    – Immediately resume funding of UNRWA and commit additional resources to all humanitarian groups providing aid to Palestinians not only because it is the right thing to do, but to end U.S. complicity in genocide

    – Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel by correcting our budget and enforcing our own laws like Leahy Law

    – Reallocate all funds given to Israel for ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians to help them rebuild, care for the sick & injured, bury the dead with dignity, and ensure all of their basic needs are taken care of

    – 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 regional conflict

    – Repeal all federal anti-BDS laws and pass legislation that voids all state-level anti-BDS laws

    – Restore my right to free speech and the freedom of the press by condemning all discrimination or harassment for criticizing any government or political ideology (including zionism) and by doing everything possible to prevent future assaults to my rights, including governmental control and/or censorship of the Internet

    2/11 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    Mansour Shouman, a Palestinian-Canadian journalist, is trapped in the Nasser Hospital which is currently under a total siege. As of 2/11, no one has heard from him in over 24 hours. The hospital is currently being bombed. Snipers have been murdering anyone in the area trying to flee to safety. On 2/9, 21 civilians were murdered outside the Nasser Hospital. There are only 5 doctors remaining- Dr. Muhammad Harara and other medical staff were fired upon this morning trying to save people outside.

    The barbaric slaughter is already underway at Nasser Hospital – the same horrific story we’ve seen over and over again in other hospitals in Gaza. I am terrified that those desperately sheltering at Nasser Hospital will all meet the same fates as those at the Al-Shifa Hospital- murdered or abducted to be tortured. The director of the Al-Shifa Hospital, Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya, has been tortured every day since his abduction and illegal detention by Israel. Both of his arms have been broken by Israeli torturers. He is being starved, deprived of sleep, chained and forced to crawl like an animal, among other disturbing acts.

    I demand that you: 

    – Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and all other areas of occupied-Palestine

    – Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid brutally imposed on Palestine, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace

    – Hold Israel accountable for their war crimes and violations of the Genocide Convention and other international laws

    2/7 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    It’s a shame the White House denies the only truth Biden has spoken- that Netanyahu is a “bad f***ing guy”. What a massive understatement. Israel’s genocide is beyond comprehension, and those that advocate for, support, and commit these crimes are more than “bad”. I have never seen evil like this before. I have never been so completely and fully disillusioned with my government. Every single one of you, regardless of party, have no humanity. You steal our tax dollars and fund a genocide.

    I demand that you:

    2/6 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign is reaching it’s end goals as you’ve done nothing about it. They’ve been absolutely transparent in their efforts to push the entire population of the Gaza strip to Rafah and into Egypt. 1.1 million people followed the repeated evacuation orders “to safety” by walking for days on streets littered with decomposing bodies, while Israeli forces actively shot into the crows killing even more people. Rafah now holds approximately 1.8 million people, in makeshift tent shelters, starving and dying from injuries and illnesses. On Friday Israel announced and has now enacted it’s plans to increase bombing, and ground operations throughout Rafah.

    Admist the horrors, my government is working to pass another military aid package to Israel for $14.1 billion, with an additional $2.4 billion to further attacks on Yemen for their attempts at fulfilling the entire world’s obligations under the Genocide Convention to stop Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. I am absolutely disgusted by all of you. You’ll give billions away of my tax dollars for a genocide and put our country deeper in debts you will never shoulder, and then tell the American people there’s no money for universal healthcare, improved funding of our education system, student debt relief, and all the other things we have been begging for. Shame on you.

    I demand that you: 

    – Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and all areas Israel is murdering and violating the human rights of Palestinians

    – Secure the immediate release and safety of all Palestinians illegally held captive in Israeli military prisons

    – Immediately resume funding of UNRWA and commit additional resources to all humanitarian groups providing aid to Palestinians not only because it is the right thing to do, but to end U.S. complicity in genocide

    – Call for the immediate end of Israel’s genocide, occupation, and apartheid being brutally imposed on Palestine, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace

    – Permanently end all monetary and military aid given to Israel by correcting our budget and enforcing our own laws like Leahy Law

    – Reallocate all funds given to Israel to ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians to help them rebuild, care for the sick & injured, bury the dead with dignity, and ensure all of their basic needs are taken care of

    – Repeal all federal anti-BDS laws and pass legislation that voids all state-level anti-BDS laws

    1/31 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    Nancy Pelosi’s recent statements accusing Americans advocating for Palestinian human rights as “Russian plants” or “from China” is not only racist, fear-mongering, it’s baseless and dangerous. I am appalled that a member of my country’s government would label constituents whose opinions she doesn’t agree with in such a manner. Calls for the FBI to investigate Palestinian human rights advocates falls lock-step with the other attacks on my rights. I’m not a “Russian plant” – no one could pay me to write to you every single day, especially with your completely ineffective and insulting responses thus far.

    I write to you every day because every day I witness horrors beyond comprehension and want it to end. Today it was hearing the audio of a 911 call from a 6 year old girl named Hind. Her family was trying to evacuate as instructed. Their car was surrounded by Israeli tanks that soon fired and murdered her entire family. You can hear the heavy artillery fire and her screaming. She was the only survivor and remained on the phone with the operator for hours. Two brave paramedics went to try and save her- it’s been 2 days and no one has heard from them. Have you ever heard the voice of a child after that kind of trauma plead “Won’t someone come get me?”

    How dare you label me and other Americans as terrorists or paid off foreign actors. We are demanding a ceasefire because we know this is the fault of our government as much as it is Israel’s.

    I demand that you: 

    – Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the West Bank, and all areas the Israeli military is murdering or otherwise violating the human rights of Palestinians

    – Secure the safe release of Mansour Schouman, a Canadian-Palestinian independent journalist and humanitarian worker recently illegally abducted by Israel in Khan Younis around 1/22 – 1/24 when he was evacuating to Rafah from the Nasser Hospital as directed to on a “safe route”

    – Call for the immediate end of genocide, apartheid, and occupation, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom, peace, and their human rights

    – Call for the immediate release of Palestinian “prisoners” (hostages) held captive in Israeli military prisons

    – Permanently end all monetary and military aid given to Israel by correcting our budget and enforcing Leahy Law

    – Reallocate all funds given to Israel to ongoing humanitarian relief for Palestinians to help them rebuild, care for the sick & injured, bury the dead with dignity, and ensure all of their basic needs are taken care of

    – Repeal all federal anti-BDS laws and pass legislation that voids all state-level anti-BDS laws

    – Restore my right to free speech and the freedom of the press by condemning all discrimination or harassment for criticizing any government or political ideology (including zionism) and by doing everything possible to prevent future assaults to my rights, including governmental control and/or censorship of the Internet

    1/29 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

    Every day I pray to God that you will do something to stop Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. Every day I see as you do the exact opposite- not only do you look the other way, you make excuses for and provide material support for the barbarism. How do you sleep at night? I cannot comprehend what it would be like to live without any ounce of humanity.

    Mansour Shouman is still missing. He was abducted by Israel. He is a Palestinian Canadian independent journalist and humanitarian worker. He chose to stay behind when his wife and children were evacuated to continue reporting on what was happening and do everything possible to help other people. He is not a terrorist. He is not Hamas. He is a Canadian citizen, one of our closest allies – you need to act NOW. He must be released and safely returned to his family.

    I demand that you: 

    – Call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, the West Bank, and all areas the Israeli military is murdering or otherwise violating the human rights of Palestinians

    – Secure the safe release of Mansour Shouman, a Palestinian Canadian independent journalist and humanitarian worker who was recently illegally abducted by Israel in Khan Younis on 1/23 while trying to evacuate to Rafah from the Nasser Hospital on a “safe route” as directed by Israel

    – Call for the immediate end of genocide, apartheid, and occupation, and support Palestinians in their fight for freedom, peace, and their human rights

    – Permanently end all monetary and military aid given to Israel by correcting our budget and enforcing Leahy Law
