John,

Last night, President Biden spoke to the nation from the Oval Office to request more taxpayer dollars to fund the Israeli military’s genocide of innocent Palestinians.

After over 4,100 Palestinians—including more than 1,600 children—have been killed by the Israeli military’s incessant bombing on Gaza, we would hope that our nation’s leader would try to broker peace through a ceasefire and release of hostages.

Instead, President Biden is greenlighting the Israeli seige of Gaza, while demanding Congress gift the IDF even more bombs and weapons for their planned ground invasion.

What has unfolded since 1,400 innocent Israelis were massacred by Hamas has been nothing short of a calculated and intentional genocide of the Palestinian people, with the unwavering support of the White House and a majority of Congress, despite being unpopular with the majority of the American people.

Every member of Congress should be united in opposing funding for more Palestinian and Israeli deaths—let alone funding for border militarization—and call for a ceasefire.

There is no military solution to this conflict that spares innocent life and Congress must think twice before using our taxpayer dollars to fund an ethnic cleansing campaign. We are barreling towards American involvement in another endless war that we had no business instigating in the first place.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
