John,
This week last year, Justice Democrats members Cori Bush, Rashida Tlaib,
Summer Lee, and Delia Ramirez led the call for peace by introducing a
resolution in Congress demanding an immediate, lasting ceasefire, the
return of Israeli and Palestinian hostages, and humanitarian aid to freely
enter Gaza.
Since then, without its passage, we've witnessed mass starvation and
destruction in Gaza carried out by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu and his right-wing administration. At least 41,000 Palestinians
have been killed by Israeli forces, with tens of thousands injured,
including what experts are calling “the largest cohort of child amputees
in history.”
Millions of Palestinians are displaced with no homes to return to, and
humanitarian groups continue to ring the alarm bells warning of mass
starvation and death if Israel continues to block food, water, and medical
supplies from reaching Gaza.
Despite killing multiple senior Hamas officials, the Israeli government
has already indicated that it will not withdraw from Gaza, with its
Minister of Defense proclaiming “The IDF will continue to operate in the
Gaza Strip for years to come.”
Not only has the Biden Administration continued sending Israel billions of
dollars in bombs and weapons to carry out its massacres, but it is now
sending American troops to serve on the ground alongside Israeli forces,
without getting necessary authorization from Congress.
Biden Administration officials say they’re giving Israel 30 days to
improve the humanitarian crisis in Gaza or risk losing U.S. military aid.
But 30 days is too late: millions of lives are at stake, and Israel has
shown time and again over the past year that it is unwilling to stop its
war crimes.
Once again, Justice Democrats members in Congress are leading the call for
action and accountability. It’s past time for a ceasefire: we need to
issue an arms embargo on Israel NOW.
[ [link removed] ]Tweet from Congresswoman Cori Bush: Over the past year, we’ve witnessed
the Israeli government commit war crimes in Gaza. We don’t need 30 days.
We don’t need more empty words. We need action. We need an arms embargo.
Retweet from CNN Breaking News: Biden administration writes to Israel
demanding it act to improve Gaza’s humanitarian crisis or risk violating
US laws governing foreign military aid.
Our progressive leaders are some of the only members of Congress listening
to the majority of voters and standing on the right side of history
demanding an end to this genocide and ethnic cleansing.

The more young, diverse, working-class progressives committed to peace and
human rights that we elect to Congress, the sooner we can change the
pro-war status quo in Washington and end our nation’s complicity in this
genocide.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
