Another American child has been murdered by Israeli forces, demand Congress end U.S. funding of apartheid, genocide, and occupation

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 Israeli occupation forces 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 an entrenched, state-sanctioned system of violence that Palestinians are forced to endure daily under occupation.

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 occupation forces or 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. Occupation forces, backed by a right-wing regime that continues to escalate and enforce its policy of terror against Palestinians, carried out this killing — shielded from accountability at every level, including by the United States.

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 individuals 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
