Hi There – it’s Hannah, J Street’s Director of Government
Affairs.

Right now, there’s a letter circulating among Members of Congress that
condemns President Trump’s suggestion that the US “take over” Gaza and
force millions of Palestinians from the land they call home.

The President’s suggestion is grotesque, unworkable and a violation of
international law and our values – and we need as many Jewish Americans,
allies and Members of Congress to stand up and say so.

As we’ve seen before, the more political resistance Trump encounters, the
more likely he is to back down – and now is not a time to allow Trump,
Netanyahu and right-wing extremists to reset the goalposts.

Friends: Will you read, sign and share our petition now?

Let’s be clear: When the President muses about turning Gaza into the
“Riviera of the Middle East,” he’s advocating for the US-backed
destruction of an entire society. Forcing two million Palestinians –
already weary from over a year of a devastating war – from their land is
unworkable, and only fuels endless violence, conflict and chaos for
Israelis and Palestinians alike.

Even if the White House has no intention of actually acting on this plan,
Trump has already handed anti-Israel and anti-American terror groups a
potent, mobilizing recruitment tool – and has undercut the challenging
work ahead for negotiators to keep the ceasefire and hostage deal on
track.

The Congressional letter, led by Representatives Sean Casten and Brad
Sherman, demands the President retract his dangerous comments and
reaffirms congressional commitment to a regional agreement for an
independent Palestinian state alongside Israel – the only viable long-term
path to guarantee peace, safety and freedom for both the Israeli and
Palestinian people.

We’re heartened to see our Congressional allies take an immediate and
powerful stand against Trump’s unhinged bluster. To keep up the pressure,
we’re asking our community to join us in that stand by signing on to the
letter themselves to help us build support.

[ [link removed] ]Will you pledge your support by adding your name now?

We will not sit idly by while Trump takes a wrecking ball to the fragile
ceasefire that’s finally reuniting hostages with their families and
keeping millions of civilians safe from harm.

We cannot be silent as the US President suggests forcing millions of
civilians from their land, causing them to suffer more than they’ve
already been made to.

[ [link removed] ]Will you join us as we give voice to our shared values?

Thank you, sincerely, for your support,

Hannah
Director of Government Affairs, J Street
