John,

After the sudden fall of the Assad regime in Syria, Israel wasted no time taking the opportunity to attack and invade this sovereign nation.

While countless Syrians attempt to reunite with loved ones, return to their homes, and prepare for whatever comes next for the nation, Israel has:

• Carried out almost 500 airstrikes across Syria in just two days, including dropping bombs on the historic capital city of Damascus;
  
  
• Deployed tanks and ground troops into and beyond a demilitarized buffer zone for the first time in 50 years, and asserted that Israel has annexed this land (three times the size of Gaza) for itself in yet another land grab;
  
  
• Destroyed Syria’s navy and attacked Syria’s military bases, warehouses, and aircraft, leaving the nation defenseless.

The Israeli government is doing this all while continuing to attack and starve the people of Gaza, bomb Lebanon, and carry out settler violence in the West Bank.

Western leaders like President Biden have barely made a peep, refusing to hold Israel accountable for its unbridled aggression against its neighbors while continuing to fund the bombs and weapons Israel is using in its ever-expanding regional war.

Benjamin Netanyahu and the right-wing Israeli government cannot continue to go unchecked like this. If you agree, add your name to join us in demanding the Biden administration condemn Israel’s actions now →

Add Your Name

When Russia annexes land and attacks people in Ukraine, the United States is unflinching in its condemnations — so why are they silent when Israel does it to Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen, and now Syria?

Israel is not above the law, and it’s long overdue for the U.S. government to stop acting like it is.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
