John,
While the Israeli military continues to block life-saving aid and kill Palestinian civilians in Gaza, leaders in both the Republican and Democratic Parties welcomed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to D.C. with open arms last week.
It was his third visit to the U.S. this year alone.
As Netanyahu cozied up to AIPAC-backed members of Congress, Israeli forces shot more Palestinians seeking aid, and dropped bombs on entire families, while Israeli settlers in the West Bank killed a young Palestinian American from Florida — the 7th U.S. citizen to be murdered in the West Bank since October 7th, 2023.
Democrats and Republicans came together to celebrate a war criminal committing horrific atrocities against children and the Palestinian people, all while remaining silent on Israeli military and settler violence taking American lives.
Justice Democrats’ members like Rashida Tlaib, Delia Ramirez, Ilhan Omar, and Summer Lee are leading the call for an arms embargo against Israel, but we need to demand that every Democrat stand up and do what’s right.
We can’t give up — let’s keep up the pressure to stop this genocide and ethnic cleansing as soon as possible.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
