Hi,
The world looks on in horror: the Israeli military launched airstrikes on
a tent camp in Rafah — killing forty-five innocent Palestinians, including
many women and children.^1
The bombing of a camp of innocent people is one of the deadliest single
incidents in the war, in a part of Gaza where massive numbers of
Palestinians had sought refuge from Israeli violence.^2 Israel has only
been able to continue its violence with the support of American-made bombs
and funding from Congress. How can our leaders standby and let this all
continue with U.S. support?

ceasefire and end military support for Israel.

Gruesome images have come out from Rafah after this horrific bombing. It’s
yet another atrocity after the Israeli military has already killed over
34,000 Palestinians and 200 aid workers. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s
government has also cut off food, water, and medical aid to countless
people in Gaza.
The entire international community has made it clear, including the
International Court of Justice, that Israel must stop its invasion of
Rafah.^3 The United States has warned Prime Minister Netanyahu about Rafah
too, but President Biden and Congress have continued the flow of weapons
and funding to the Israeli military.
The only way to stop the Israeli military’s onslaught on the Palestinian
people is an immediate diplomatic solution AND the U.S. ending its support
for these atrocities.

invasion of Rafah, demand a permanent ceasefire, and end weapons sales to
Israel.
