John,
The carnage against civilians in Gaza has only continued as Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to agree to a permanent ceasefire
deal while carpet-bombing most of the territory.
Homes, schools, and places of worship where Palestinian refugees are
gathering to survive are being targeted with bombs and missiles, killing
innocent men, women, and children. Disturbing reports of torture by the
Israeli military are rampant. At this point, at least 40,000 Palestinians
have been killed, which is more than likely an undercount. Tens of
thousands more have been injured, with millions displaced and facing
starvation.
Despite the ongoing massacres against innocent people, many of whom are
children and infants, the United States government has not stopped aiding
and abetting the Israeli government’s violence: just this week, the U.S.
agreed to give another $23.5 billion in military aid to Israel. This is
unacceptable.
While our Justice Democrats in Congress have called for a permanent
ceasefire and lasting peace since the beginning, more are joining them:
nearly 60 Democratic members have now signed a letter demanding the White
House halt all arms transfers to Israel. Even former Speaker Nancy Pelosi
has signed on.
It further goes to show that opposing genocide is NOT a fringe
position, John. And according to
Zeteo, a new poll from YouGov/IMEU Policy Project found “over a third of
voters in Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia are more likely to vote for a
Democratic nominee who pledges to withhold weapons to Israel.”
Ending this humanitarian crisis is not only the right thing to do — it’s
what the people of this country want from their elected officials, and it
can shape November’s critical election results in key swing states.

It’s beyond time for the Party and our new Democratic ticket to stand on
the right side of history and come out strongly in support of a ceasefire
and weapons embargo. Let’s make that clear to them in this crucial moment.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
