Israel's Largest Military Incursion in the West Bank Since 2002 Demands Immediate Accountability American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) is outraged by Israel’s military invasion and raids across the occupied West Bank, particularly the brutal and illegal siege of Jenin. This is the largest-scale military incursion in the West Bank since 2002, and it comes amid a broader campaign of violence. On top of the tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered in Gaza, Israeli occupation forces and settlers have killed over 650 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023. These actions, which include blocking roads to and sieging hospitals, and surrounding medical facilities, and indiscriminately killing Palestinians, are egregious violations of international law and human rights. These attacks are a stark reminder of the systematic violence and terror that Israel continues to inflict on Palestinians with impunity. The deliberate targeting of civilians, medical facilities, and vital infrastructure by the Israeli military is nothing short of a war crime.  Israel’s claim of "counter-terrorism" is a thinly veiled justification for its ongoing campaign of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people. The use of drones, helicopter gunships, and ground forces in densely populated areas under the guise of security operations only serves to further oppress and terrorize the Palestinian population. We vehemently reject Israel's narrative that these operations are necessary to thwart so-called "terrorist infrastructures." The reality is that Israel’s actions are part of a broader strategy to further entrench its illegal occupation and dispossess Palestinians of their land and rights. We call on the Biden administration and Congress to hold Israel accountable for its actions and immediately end the military aid that enables these atrocities. The siege on Jenin, the killings in Tubas, and the ongoing airstrikes in Gaza are not isolated incidents; they are part of a systemic campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people. This is yet another compelling reason why an arms embargo on Israel is crucial. The United States must stop fueling Israel’s human rights violations and war crimes and immediately shift its failed approach to prevent further bloodshed and oppression. We stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and will continue to advocate for justice, freedom, and an end to the occupation. The world must recognize and act against the grave injustices being perpetrated by Israel in the name of security. The Palestinian people deserve to live in peace and dignity, free from the terror imposed by the Israeli occupation. In solidarity,
