9/6 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

Today, 9/6, Israeli forces shot and murdered an American human rights activist Aysenur Ezgi Eyg, in Beita, West Bank. She was shot in the head while at a peaceful protest against the illegal Israeli settler-colonist expansion into the West Bank. These protests were not a surprise- it’s been a weekly occurrence and nonviolent way to oppose illegal settler-colonists from continuing to steal Palestinian homes and land. This is not the first time an American has been murdered or severely injured by Israeli forces since 10/7 throughout occupied Palestine. This administration has said and done nothing for our fellow Americans who are facing targeted violence by Israeli forces and settler-colonists.

Meanwhile, the desperately needed polio vaccination campaign in Gaza has been impeded by Israel at every turn. UNICEF advised today that Israel is denying medical teams access to communities in southern Gaza who need help. This is unacceptable.

I demand you do everything in your power to:

– Hold Israel accountable to a permanent, immediate ceasefire and for their repeat violations of international law

– Call for the immediate end of Israel’s occupation and apartheid

– Support Palestinians in their fight for freedom and peace

– Secure the immediate release and safety of all hostages, including Palestinians held by Israel in “military prisons”, including those whose indefinite detention began prior to 10/7

– Permanently end all monetary, diplomatic, and military aid given to Israel and enforce U.S. laws like Leahy Law and the Arms Export Control Act

– Resume full funding of UNRWA and allocate more funds to aid humanitarian efforts to rebuild Gaza, and provide Palestinians with the resources to survive and thrive

– 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

– Void all anti-BDS laws and other laws that infringe on my right to freedom of speech to criticize any political ideology or country, and to use my money in ways that align with my values
