7/24 Petition to Biden & U.S. Congress

Today, 7/24, Israel has murdered at least 121 Palestinians and wounded hundreds more in southern Khan Younis. 150,000 refugees sheltering in the area were given 24 hours notice to evacuate, which Israel didn’t honor. Minutes after orders were given on 7/23, refugees were fired upon. How are people supposed to stay out of harms way? Israel has made it impossible. If you follow the evacuation orders, you get shot. If you’re a patient in a hospital who can’t physically move, you get shot. If you’re holding a white flag, you get shot. There is not and never has been a safe place in Gaza. This roulette of evacuation orders has been a thin veneer to try and hide what’s been plain to see from the beginning – this is a genocide.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu being allowed into our country, received at the highest levels of this administration warmly, is disgusting. Not only are my tax dollars being misused to fund a genocide, you’re also allowing him to abuse the complimentary laundry service we provide to heads of state when they visit. Tell me why Netanyahu ARRIVED with suitcases of dirty laundry? In the Washington Post’s recent article with interviews from U.S. officials, this is NOT the norm or standard. In fact, Netanyahu has been doing this every single time he comes to our country. I’m absolutely disgusted at this intentional disrespect and further avenue he uses to steal our tax dollars. While Palestinians in Gaza have no clean water, much less water to use to launder their clothes, we’re spending how much exactly in dry cleaning for Netanyahu’s dirty laundry? What an incredible metaphor for this entire situation, frankly. If I didn’t read this in the news I’d think it was rage bait misinformation.

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
