*Bold Letter Holds Israel Accountable for Demolishing Homes *

Dear Supporter,

It's hard to forget the heartbreaking scenes of Palestinians living in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of *Wadi al-Hummus* watch as Israeli forces demolished their homes while laughing and joking.

This massive demolition of Palestinian homes last July was Israel's "*biggest crime of ethnic cleansing since 1967*," according to the Palestinian BDS National Committee.

Now, some members of Congress, led by Reps. *Ro Khanna* (D-CA), *Anna Eshoo* (D-CA), and *Steve Cohen* (D-TN) are seeking to hold Israel accountable for this forced displacement of Palestinians.

*Click here to urge your representative to sign their important letter [ [link removed] ]* calling on the Secretary of State to investigate whether Israel violated US law by using Caterpillar bulldozers to demolish Palestinian homes.

This letter is so important because it could actually *hold Israel accountable* for its human rights abuses of Palestinians. Unlike toothless resolutions or mere expressions of concern, this letter could trigger a process resulting in the United States *ceasing to provide Israel with these bulldozers*, which are paid for by US taxpayers.

But we need you to take action right away! The letter is closing for signatures on *Thursday, January 9*, so be sure to *write and call your representative right now [ [link removed] ]*.

The timing of this letter could not be more significant. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs the Israeli government *increased its destruction of Palestinian homes in the West Bank by 40 percent *in the first half of 2019 as compared to 2018.

You can help stop US support for Israel's actions by *persuading your representative to endorse the letter [ [link removed] ]*.

The letter is a positive move forward to spotlight Israel's devastating criminal acts towards Palestinians in the West Bank. *Please write your member of Congress today [ [link removed] ]* and let them know that you, as a constituent, want to hold Israel accountable for its human rights abuses of Palestinians. Take action now!

Sincerely,

Jamal Najjab
Director of Government Relations
