Israel is murdering journalists, starving people, bombing shelters, and forcibly displacing Palestinians - Congress has the power to stop it Dear Email, While members of Congress are on break from the Capitol, Palestinians in Gaza are continuing to be starved, bombed, and displaced. In just 24 hours, three Palestinians have starved to death, and at least 56 Palestinians, including 22 people seeking aid, were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza. Israel is still weaponizing starvation, targeting displacement shelters in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighborhood, and assassinating journalists. On top of that, the U.S. State Department has halted visas for wounded Palestinians (including children) who have been severely injured by Israel’s attacks carried out with U.S. support. These people were hurt with the material support and political backing of our government. At the very least, the U.S. can allow them entry for treatment.  This is ethnic persecution, and it’s aiding and abetting genocide. Congress has the power, and the responsibility, to stop it. But we have to make it clear that we won’t back down from demanding it. We’re calling on you to take action today. Tell your representative and senators to: - Suspend ALL U.S. aid to Israel in line with U.S. and international law, and support H.R. 3565, the “Block the Bombs” legislation in the House. Demand that senators introduce and advance a Senate companion.
- Demand immediate humanitarian access—food, shelter, and medical supplies must be allowed into Gaza without obstruction.
- Push the State Department to reverse its visa ban on wounded Palestinians. The least we can do is allow them medical treatment.
