As Israel intensifies ethnic cleansing, the U.S. deepens its support for genocide and apartheid, further isolating itself from the world Dear Email, Over the last week, while much of the world's powers were moving to cut aid to and trade with Israel, the United States was busy doubling down on its complicity. On Wednesday, August 27, Donald Trump convened a White House meeting to discuss the so-called “postwar future” of Gaza. That same day, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat across from Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, pledging once again America’s “unwavering commitment” to Israel’s security. These staged meetings took place as Israel doubled down on its genocide. In Gaza City, Israel has intensified its bombardment, leveling the city and blocking the entry of desperately needed humanitarian aid. At least 322 Palestinians have died as a result of forced starvation. Just days ago, another hospital was intentionally struck, killing at least twenty Palestinians—including five journalists who were clearly targeted for documenting the devastation. At the same time in the West Bank, the Israeli Occupation Force (IOF) carried out the most extensive military raids in months, storming Nablus, wounding dozens, and deploying snipers and live fire. In al-Mughayyir, near Ramallah, the IOF uprooted about 3,000 olive trees, destroyed homes and vehicles, intensifying a forced displacement campaign. These operations come amid an ongoing surge in settler violence: between January and July, there were over 2,370 attacks, and 671 Palestinians were murdered, while nearly 36,000 people were displaced in the West Bank since early 2024.  This is precisely why our Palestine Advocacy Days (October 19th-21st) are so important. Every time our elected officials shake hands with Israeli officials or sign off on weapons packages, they do so in our name. Confronting Congress and every federal official enabling this genocide is not a choice; it’s an obligation. We cannot give them the room to look away while their continued complicity and negligence greenlight the deaths of thousands more. |

By showing up together, we force elected officials to face what they would rather ignore: their staged meetings, their votes, their budgets, and their policies are fueling mass death, displacement, and ethnic cleansing. Palestine Advocacy Days are where our collective outrage becomes undeniable power. Either our government continues to bankroll genocide unchecked, or we mobilize to stop it. There is no middle ground. Join us. Add your voice. Confront those in power. Make them choose: justice or complicity. In solidarity,
