5/28 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

The 3rd intentional bombing of refugee tent camps in just 2 days happened not too long ago when I’m writing this, 5/28. This time, it was tents in Al-Mawasi where Palestinians burned to death. It was only the beginning of this month when Israel dropped evacuation leaflets across Rafah telling people to evacuate to areas including Al-Mawasi. We’ve seen the same pattern since 10/7 over and over, but it never becomes less disturbing and heartbreaking.

The Kuwaiti Hospital is now completely out of service due to lack of fuel. Prior to the shutdown, patients had to be treated immediately outside due to the sweltering heat inside the building where power had been cut off from everywhere but the most essential units. Israel’s ground assault and artillery fire has reached as far as the vicinity of the Kuwaiti Hospital. All patients and medical staff have been forced to relocate north to Khan Younis. All field hospitals in western Rafah are out of service. Khan Younis has been leveled. The former major hospital in the area, Nasser Medical Complex, has also been flattened.

This forced evacuation and displacement has forced the Kuwaiti Hospital’s severe burn patients from Israel’s recent massacre burning people alive, to leave. When Dr Muhammad al-Mughayer arrived at the scene, he described massive fires spreading across the tent refugee camp, and bodies burned severely, with limbs blown off. The few international medical staff that have been allowed to enter are being further restricted by Israel in the amount of supplies they can bring. Currently, the supplies that international medical staff can physically carry in with them are the major source of new supplies.

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.
