Palestine needs us now more than ever. Take a stand today! Dear Email, By now, you have likely seen disturbing footage of Israeli forces' criminal attacks in Masjid Al Aqsa since Fajr prayer. As you read this, thousands of Israeli soldiers have occupied the Masjid’s grounds, desecrating its sanctity and brutalizing hundreds of thousands of peaceful Muslim worshippers inside it. Make no mistake: the US is enabling Israeli human rights abuses. As Americans, we must not stand idle. American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) is spearheading efforts to defend Palestine and to transform the US’ complicity into accountability. It is no secret or coincidence that Israeli forces escalate their attacks and aggressions on Palestinians during the holy month of Ramadan. Just last Ramadan, Israel escalated its aggression against the Palestinian people, engaging in ethnic cleansing in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood and Jerusalem in general, brutal and murderous aggression on the Gaza Strip which killed 260 people and wounded more than 1900, and committed a staple of the Israeli occupation – an attack on Masjid Al Aqsa. This Ramadan, Israel has acted with the same cruelty, murdering 18 Palestinians in less than two weeks, with hundreds injured and more arrested. In the last 48 hours alone, Israel continued its 5-day raid across the West Bank, murdering 7 Palestinians and wounding dozens of others, and only a few hours ago, it attacked worshippers in Masjid Al Aqsa injuring hundreds as we hit the halfway mark of the month. |

Last year, AMP saw the fruits of its labor in unprecedented support of Palestine in Congress, in the media, and in the streets as hundreds of thousands of people across the nation mobilized for Palestine. We also observed the Biden administration's pressure – despite its complicity – on Israel to stop its aggression after 11 days of destruction. Last Ramadan, AMP was at the forefront in defending Palestine and advocating for Palestinian rights in America. This Ramadan, as Israel intensifies its attacks against Palestinians and the Muslim holy sites, we are committed to increasing our efforts against the occupation. Our work would not be possible without Allah's grace first and foremost, and it would most certainly not be possible without your generous support. Today, we ask you to continue to support us to ensure we are better positioned to help prevent a new, massive, and brutal Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people. We will fight tooth and nail against the grim status quo of US complicity which perpetuates Palestinian oppression by Apartheid Israel with our tax dollars.  |
