Another American child has been murdered by settlers, demand Congress end U.S. funding of settler violence, genocide, and apartheid

Dear Email,

AJP Action is heartbroken and furious over the killing of 14-year-old Amer Rabee, a Palestinian American from New Jersey, who was shot and killed by an Israeli settler in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, April 6th. Amer traveled to his homeland to visit family and now he won’t return. His death is not an isolated tragedy, but part of a growing, state-sanctioned pattern of settler terror that Palestinians are forced to endure on a daily basis. 

TAKE ACTION: Call and email your members of Congress and Senators and demand they take immediate action. Let them know that we will not stand by as they’re silent any longer.

Amer is not the first American child killed by Israeli settlers and without an immediate, drastic shift in U.S. policy, he will not be the last. This is part of a horrifying pattern: Palestinian civilians, including children and U.S. citizens, are routinely targeted and killed with impunity by settlers emboldened by the Israeli government. These settlers are backed by a regime that continues to escalate its violence and land theft, shielded from accountability at every single level, including by the U.S.

We are calling on every Member of Congress and every Senator to:

• Publicly condemn the killing of Amer Rabee and call for an independent U.S.-led investigation
• Impose an immediate arms embargo on Israel and halt all military aid to the Israeli government
• Demand accountability for the settler responsible
• Refuse to engage with Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit, and use your platform to call for his arrest and accountability—not appeasement.

Every single member of Congress must take a stand. Enough cowardice. Enough excuses. 

Take action now and call on your community to do the same. We cannot stop until Amer’s family sees justice and until no more Palestinian families have to endure this pain.

In solidarity,
Americans for Justice in Palestine Action
