John,
After the International Criminal Court (ICC) investigated war crimes in Gaza, the Court sought arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.
Now, the ICC is being punished by House Republicans and Democrats bought out by AIPAC.
This week, 42 Democratic members of Congress joined the GOP in support of sanctioning the ICC for its attempt to hold Israeli officials accountable for their orchestration of genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian civilians.
Unsurprisingly, the corporate and GOP-funded, anti-Palestinian lobby group AIPAC has given $15 million to this group of Democrats.
This is a shameful move as the Israeli military continues its all-out assault on the people of Gaza, including killing dozens of civilians after bombing a school providing shelter to thousands of refugees.
In light of this attack on international law and human rights, it’s clearer than ever that we MUST protect our pro-peace progressives in Congress keeping up the fight for a ceasefire and release of all hostages.
This vote goes to show that we need to not only re-elect EVERY member of our Squad this year — we also need to keep up the fight to build our bloc of human rights champions in Congress.
Thanks for anything you can do to support our movement at this moment.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
