.png) Take part in day of action for Al-Quds Dear Supporter, We write to you with heavy hearts during these final days of the holy month of Ramadan. Our Palestinian siblings have endured relentless violence at the hands of the Israeli occupaiton forces in the sacred site of Al-Aqsa for the past several days and in the besieged Gaza Strip. As of this writing, 20 have reportedly been killed (including 9 children) and over 800 have been injured. Hundreds of residents of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah are on the verge of expulsion from their homes, and armed settlers and Israeli soldiers are terrorizing the community and those in solidarity with them. This is a time for all of us to stand together at this crucial moment and take a stand for Palestinian rights -- especially here in the United States where our own government finances Israel’s cruel military to the tune of $3.8 billion a year. This ask is one of the most important we’ve ever had for you: can you please take just a few minutes to call your Representative today? All you need to do is call 202-225-3121 and ask to be connected to your Representative’s office. Once you get a staff member on the line (or if you’re asked to leave a voice message), mention your name, your address, and ask your Representative to do the following:
While the videos of tear gas and sound grenades are heartbreaking and enraging, the imagery of tens of thousands of Palestinians praying Taraweeh with resilience fills us with hope and commitment. May our faith be as steadfast as theirs; while they brave a military assault, they remain unwavering. May our support for their struggle be unwavering. Sincerely,
Dr. Osama Abuirshaid
Executive Director
