Dear Indivisibles,
Gaza is on the brink of a catastrophic man-made famine. Starvation is
already widespread; one in three people are going days at a time without
food, and children are dying daily of hunger-related causes.
After imposing a full blockade for months, Israeli Prime Minister
Netanyahu is now letting in only a fraction of the aid needed, and the
current distribution sites are functioning as nightmarish death traps.
Over 1,000 Palestinians trying to feed themselves and their families have
been killed by Israeli forces (and possibly US contractors) since May.^1
The images are so heartbreaking, the situation so dire, that we are
beginning to see calls for action from across the ideological spectrum.
Even Trump has publicly broken with Netanyahu over the images on his TV.
But words mean little. Our elected leaders from both parties need to
demand that Trump use US leverage to address this manufactured
humanitarian crisis immediately.
[ [link removed] ]Call your senators. Tell them to push Trump to actually deliver on his
offer to increase humanitarian aid and ensure that aid is safely delivered
by trusted third parties.
[ [link removed] ]Then, call your representative.
This is the bare minimum. If the US used all its leverage ([ [link removed] ]as we’ve
long called for), it could achieve a ceasefire, end what we -- and leading
international human rights groups -- consider to be an ongoing genocide,
and secure the release of all the hostages.^2 Tragically and
infuriatingly, we have neither a president nor a Congress at this time
remotely willing to do so.
But most Democrats and an increasing number of Republicans in Congress do
agree that this intentional starvation of civilians must end. And now that
Trump has echoed those sentiments, Congress must loudly call on him to
follow through with action.
[ [link removed] ]Tell your senators to demand immediate action to end the intentional
starvation of Gaza.
In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
P.S. Netanyahu’s restrictions are making it difficult for World Central
Kitchen to do its work, but it remains on the ground in Gaza offering hot
meals. [ [link removed] ]Please consider a donation to support its heroic mission.
