End Support for Genocide in Palestine
For decades US administrations, Republican or Democrats, have supported Israel as it conducts an illegal occupation of Palestine. Palestinians are being systematically strangled in what should be understood as genocide. The undersigned oppose this support of the brutal Netanyahu government and its open repression of the Palestinians.
Why is this important?
Ongoing repression in Palestine conducted by the Israeli Defense Forces, is supported by the US government to the tune of millions of dollars a day. Ten million is the figure I find most often. These soldiers, under orders, have targeted unarmed civilians, killing 172 of them outright but intentionally maiming and crippling thousands of others as a sadistic entirely unwarranted act of brutality. No strong denouncement of this brazen terrorism comes from the halls of Congress or from the Oval Office. Rather...the money continues to flow. We demand that our leaders stop supporting the genocide of the Palestinian people, that they denounce these clear crimes against humanity and that they take action in support of a free Palestine.
