So many issues, so little time. Rising to the top nearly every day, however, is the continued genocide and obliteration of Gaza and the Palestinian people. The bombing continues, the complete blockade continues, the targeting of journalists and medical workers, the destruction of any infrastructure. I’m left speechless as the world’s attention fades and moves on.
I review your press releases often and still do not hear you speaking out about what’s happening in Gaza, all of which can only go on with US weapons, aid and support and the silence or complicity of our leaders. These crimes are on all of us but particularly on those in power who do nothing – on you.
I saw your press release about the passing of Pope Francis. Listen to his words about Israel’s violence against Gaza, his call for a stop and his call for an investigation of genocide there.
Here are some suggestions:
• Go to Gaza and see
• Re-introduce legislation to end our support
• Support the United Nations in its work to provide humanitarian assistance to Gaza and condemn Israel's blockade
• Speak. Speak. Speak
• Be brave and join some of the demonstrations by Jewish Voices for Peace – speaking out against Netanyahu’s terror campaign is not antisemitism.
