7/5 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

Today, 7/5, Israel bombed the Freedom School in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City housing displaced people. How many more times do we need to witness the brutal attacks on schools, hospitals, refugee camps, and other civilian places? It’s never been just Palestinians in Gaza facing Israel’s barbarism. In the West Bank the town of Beit Fajar, near Bethlehem, was raided. Israeli forces positioned themselves at the local medical clinic.

Khan Younis has been bombarded and destroyed to such an extent that sewage freely flows in what’s left of the streets. People are forced to live in close proximity to this dangerous health risk because there is no where else for them to go. Photos and video show parts of the street it is impossible to cross without walking through sewage. Nowhere is safe in Gaza – whether that be from Israeli bombs or environmental health disasters caused by prior bombardment. This is the same city housing one of the only remaining large hospitals still partially functional, the Nasser Hospital, even after the brutal Israeli siege earlier this year.

The Nasser Hospital is completely overwhelmed by mass casualties and displaced people seeking refugee. A severe shortage of medical supplies means all patients are suffering and will continue to if nothing changes. This administration could be that change. I am disgusted by your unwillingness to do anything to hold Israel accountable.

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
