6/2 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress
Shelters in Rafah are deserted due to Israel’s illegal ground invasion and barbaric assault on the only “safe place”. The UNRWA Chief advised that over a million people have been displaced, searching for “a safe place they have never found” – nor will they as long as Israel is allowed to continue its genocidal ethnic cleansing campaign unchecked. It is beyond clear Israel has no intention for peace. How many ceasefire proposals have they rejected at this point? Biden’s recent statement on “the plan” that Israel would accept, they have not even when Hamas a positive view of the president’s statements on the plan. However, Hamas has not even been given the actual proposal yet – why? Because Israel rejected it because they refuse to stop until “Hamas is destroyed”. The ever moving goal-post, since apparently every single Palestinian and anyone who supports them abroad are Hamas.
The scenes from the Jabalia refugee camp massacre are devastating. Approximately 50 bodies have been recovered so far, 6/2. Watching journalist Malak Abu Hussein walk through the rubble of her neighborhood is heartbreaking. North Gaza’s Municipal Emergency Committee has declared Jabalia refugee camp and the entire city of Beit Hanoun disaster zones due to the extreme and complete destruction of the areas. Think about that for one moment – the entirety of the Gaza strip has been bombarded at this point with varying levels of destruction, but this recent decimation of Jabalia and Beit Hanoun are so total it’s being designated as a disaster zone. Jabalia is the largest Palestinian refugee camp, both in Palestine and abroad, which previously housed 120,000 people.
The casualty figures from the Jabalia massacre are unfortunately an undercount today. Gaza’s Civil Defense advised that they cannot do the necessary field work to try and clear the rubble to save those still alive and recover bodies due to the lack of equipment and machinery. People are having to do this heartbreaking, painstaking work by hand. The 20-day Israeli assault on Jabalia has completely destroyed an entire community. How many more will you allow them to wipe off the face of the Earth?
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

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.
