Press Congress to Help Stop Settler Violence We’re in the midst of an unprecedented wave of settler violence targeting Palestinians. There were a record-breaking 264 documented attacks in October, resulting in widespread injury, destruction, and displacement. Critical legislation introduced in both the House and the Senate would reinstate and codify President Biden’s now-repealed Executive Order that held violent settlers accountable. Ask your Representative and your Senators to cosponsor the West Bank Violence Prevention Act. |
