The deliberate starving to death of civilians in Gaza, especially infants and children, is a crime equal to any genocide the world has ever seen. Deaths of Armenians at the hands of the Ottomans during World War I, murder of Jews by the Nazi government of Germany during World War II and deaths of half a million Tutsis in Rwanda in the 1990s are all chilling reminders of the inhumanity to which governments can descend.
Now genocide is being supported by the government of my own country. And, unlike these earlier genocides, video images of this one are everywhere. We can watch the starving babies on CNN. The claims of “self-defense” issued by the government of Israel are an insult to our intelligence.
And none of this would be happening without the active support of the US government.
As your constituent, I demand that congress take action to remove the US from its role as enabler of this horrific attempt to exterminate the Palestinian people. All weapons shipments to Israel must stop. The blockade must end. The starving people must be fed.
