The resumption of Israeli attacks on Gaza is inhuman, inexcusable, immoral, and illegal. The four I’s. And yes, sadly, we continue to be complicit by our aid and by the encouragement of our president and administration and by their flagrant disregard of international law, the Geneva conventions and every scrap of basic moral decency.
Simultaneously, the administration is attacking dissent to Israel’s outrages, conflating anti-aggression and anti-war speech with anti-semitism. How low can you go. And the cruelty and scope of our in-country attacks on freedom of speech is breath-taking, breath-taking.
I’m expecting you to speak out, to speak up, to stand against Israel’s illegal and immoral attacks on the Palestinian people. I expect you, as my representative, as the people’s voice in Congress, to lead the criticism or these aberrant and loathsome foreign and domestic policies, to be present at free-speech rallies, to work with your colleagues to stop our government's attacks on free speech and to demand an end to aid for Israel so long as their attacks continue.
