Israel’s government has continually violated its so-called “ceasefire” in Gaza. And this week, the UN Security Council outrageously voted to increase Trump’s control over the U.S.-Israeli occupation of Gaza—further undermining Palestinians’ legal right to self-determination.
Already, Israel’s government has illegal control over Gaza: As intense flooding destroys the tents of hundreds of thousands of forcibly displaced Palestinians with nowhere to go, Israel’s government is blocking emergency shelter as well as food from entering Gaza. This week’s UN Security Council vote further entrenches this occupation.
Our government must urgently take action to reverse course. As the Political Director of Jewish Voice for Peace Action affirmed when endorsing my new resolution:
“For over two years, the U.S. has been a full partner in the Israeli government’s genocide against Palestinians. Presidents and members of Congress have denied and erased Israel’s ongoing atrocities in Gaza, shielded Israel from accountability in the international arena, and attempted to dehumanize Palestinians.”
She added: “Congresswoman Tlaib and the original co-sponsors joining her on this historic resolution are making clear that this complicity must come to an end.”
Please join us and the majority of Americans demanding an end to this genocide: Add your name to support my resolution today.
Thank you. Together, we’ll keep fighting state violence and demanding human rights be respected—at home and abroad.
With you in the fight for life, peace, and justice,
Rashida
Rep. Rashida Tlaib
Michigan’s 12th Congressional District
