Friend,

We knew what to expect when Netanyahu walked in that chamber yesterday. Every word of his speech was laced with the same tired lies that have been repeatedly debunked for the last 10 months – and the last 76 years.

At least 40,000 Palestinians are confirmed dead and experts estimate the final death toll will be as high as 186,000. Hundreds of thousands more have been gravely injured, including children who have had to get their limbs amputated without anesthesia because Israel is blockading medical supplies and destroying health infrastructure.

Yet Netanyahu claimed that civilian casualties were “practically none.”

Israel has continuously blocked aid from entering Gaza, shutting down access points and slow-walking aid with “security checks.” Israeli protesters have been caught on camera multiple times destroying food trucks. For months experts have warned that Gaza is descending into famine, and shocking photos emerged of emaciated children that looked identical to images of Jewish prisoners in Nazi concentration camps.

Yet Netanyahu claimed that if Gaza isn’t getting enough food “it’s because Hamas is stealing it.”

Israel has sabotaged or walked away from multiple ceasefire negotiations, repeatedly rejecting proposals that Hamas accepted which included every key provision – such as returning all remaining hostages – that Israel says they want. They’ve resisted calls for even a temporary ceasefire to allow for the process of peace.

Yet Netanyahu claimed that it is Hamas that doesn’t want a ceasefire.

Lies, lies, lies, and more lies.

Benjamin Netanyahu is an unrepentant liar, a mass murderer, and a war criminal. He has no business addressing Congress. He belongs in the Hague. If you agree, then donate to our campaign and help me take this demand to the ballot box in November.

Even here on our own soil, about our own people, Netanyahu refuses to tell the truth. He perpetuated the dangerous lie that non-violent protesters “stand with Hamas” and are funded by Iran.

Well I stood with those protesters outside of Congress yesterday, and his lies will never be loud enough to drown out our demands for justice for Palestine.

While we marched outside and demanded justice, the vast majority of the members of Congress – from BOTH of the corporate parties – gave this genocidal monster a hero’s welcome.

Let’s stop to remember exactly what they’re clapping for.

(content warning, wounded children)

Some of these images are disturbing, and I often hesitate to share them. But we need to bear witness here and never let our elected representatives forget what they’ve done.

The faces shown here should haunt all of our dreams – especially those welcoming their murderer with raucous applause.

Today, Vice President Kamala Harris (now the presumptive Democratic nominee) issued a statement condemning our protest and spreading dangerous propaganda that threatens the very fundamentals of protected speech.

In it, she showed her true colors. After days of glowing coverage that Harris would be “better on Gaza” than our current president, she revealed her allegiance with Israeli propaganda by repeating Netanyahu’s talking points.

The election has radically transformed in the space of a few days, but as Joe Biden once famously said, nothing has fundamentally changed.

Ours is still the ONLY campaign that will be on the ballot for the majority of voters that vigorously opposes genocide, empire, and endless militarism.

Millions of voters are now tuning in to the race again and looking for who best represents them. I need your help to make certain they find our movement. Please give what you can today to support our efforts.

We will NOT stop until Palestine is free. As Gaza goes, we all go.

In solidarity and gratitude,

Jill
