6/11 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

So many in this government have recently said that if Hamas accepted the ceasefire deal this would all be over immediately. They accepted the deal. Israel has not. Israeli massacres continue. After the UN Security Council passed the ceasefire proposal, Israel double downed and said they would not negotiate and will further escalate their efforts. We all knew this was going to happen. It’s not surprising at all the way this entire thing has been spun. You can say Israel made the proposal and accepted it all you want, but it’s clear they have no intention to follow through. The question now is, are you finally going to hold Israel accountable?

There has been yet another refugee camp massacre, 6/11, from Israel bombing the tents of people sheltering in Bahr Al-Zawaida. After Israel targeted a home in the Al-Daraj neighborhood, 8 bodies have been recovered so far from under the rubble. The number of dead and injured is still being determined as rescue efforts are underway.

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

*Why are you citing reports shared on Telegram?

While Telegram channels on their own are not necessarily credible news reporting, I have found the work Praxis Redacted has done consolidating both official news sources and unofficial citizen reporting (before it becomes breaking news) to be credible, accurate, and substantiated hours or sometimes days later by mainstream news.

Since mid-October when I began following the news about the genocide (and Praxis Redacted), I have not found an incident where sources cited or descriptions used were later proved to be false. I have every reason to believe the events cited below are true.

Most Telegram posts I link will be from Praxis Redacted, but those that are not will be labeled. All of the same disclaimers apply for content warnings and my belief in the credibility of the channels cited. This is a saved text template used across posts, it’s possible no sources outside of Praxis Redacted will be used or that only other channels are cited in this petition. It is also possible that other social media posts will be cited from other platforms, and if so, they will be noted.
