[ ]J Street[ ]
Friends,

J Streeters around the country are hard at work rallying support for a
congressional letter urging the Netanyahu government to end its two-month
blockade of humanitarian aid access into Gaza.

I’m reaching out because our records show we don’t yet have your signature
on our congressional petition ([ [link removed] ]click to sign).

Let’s be clear: Hamas bears responsibility for triggering this crisis with
its horrific attack on October 7. Over the last year and a half, the
terror group has continued to use hostages as a bargaining chip while
displaying callous disregard for civilians in Gaza as well.

At the same time, Netanyahu’s decision to block humanitarian aid at all
entry points is a searing violation of our values. It does nothing to end
this war nor free hostages. Security experts warn it only strengthens
Hamas’ influence and endangers hostages further.

The letter outlines this precisely, and has been updated to reflect
rapidly changing events.

We think it’s balanced, urgent and holds firm to our values. Others
disagree.

Last week, AIPAC began actively lobbying against the letter – warning
Democratic Members of Congress not to add their names.

Your support is critical in pushing back on their aggressive lobbying
efforts – and we’d deeply appreciate it if you could [ [link removed] ]sign the petition
and call your representative.

With Netanyahu’s security cabinet having this week approved a major
escalation – including the mass transfer of civilians to concentrated
areas – speaking out about the scale of human suffering has become all the
more important.

Please add your name today and call your Member of Congress. If you’ve
already taken action, please forward this email to friends and family,
encouraging them to do the same.

[ [link removed] ]Add your name if you agree ✍️

In the face of President Trump’s appalling indifference to the suffering
of civilians in Gaza and the need to restore the ceasefire/hostage deal,
it falls to us to rally as many lawmakers as possible to show the
leadership that our president won’t.

Thank you, sincerely, for your support.

Yours,

Jeremy Ben-Ami
President, J Street
