Friend — These are two headlines out of Gaza over just the last 24 hours.
Israel’s genocide continues, and the situation only gets worse.
The inhumanity on display is two-fold.
On one hand, Netanyahu's government is deliberately starving the population of Gaza by blocking almost all food and aid from entering the strip, including aid from the United Nations and other international humanitarian organizations. Millions are now experiencing a man-made famine.
On the other hand, Israel has allowed a singular fake “humanitarian foundation” controlled by Israel and the US to establish aid distribution sites — sites that have become deadly for Palestinians. Thousands have already been killed by Israeli soldiers and US contractors who are opening fire on civilians who are simply waiting for food and medical aid.
Even though the time has long passed for the world to take action to stop the bloodshed and suffering, I will not stop doing everything I can.
A couple days ago I voted against any and all military funding and supplies being sent to Israel’s army as they carry out this genocide. And I am committed to pushing for Congress to take action to intervene and stop this deliberate starvation and killing. But I need your help to turn up the pressure.
SIGN ON NOWThe genocide in Gaza will go down in history as one of the greatest crimes against humanity of the 21st century. We have a moral and human responsibility to take action and stop this nightmare, no matter how hard it may seem.
In solidarity,
Ilhan Omar
