Yesterday, new footage surfaced showing Israeli airstrikes hitting Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza, burning Palestinian patients alive in their hospital beds. These horrifying images will haunt our humanity forever.
TAKE ACTION: DEMAND The United States END Support to Israel
Tragically, even amidst this horrific event—just one of many in the ongoing genocide—the Biden administration has doubled down on its efforts to support and protect Israel. A recent report from Brown University estimates that the U.S. has spent or given Israel more than $22 billion in the past 12 months as Israel carries out these atrocities. Over the same weekend as Israel’s bombing of Palestinians, the President announced the deployment of the United States’ Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system and 100 U.S. troops to Israel. This military support, coinciding with Israel’s heinous actions of burning Palestinians alive, demonstrates that the United States is not merely a bystander, but a primary enabler of Israel’s genocide and war crimes.
These actions are not simply military aid—it’s intentional and conscious financial and political enablement of war crimes. Under both U.S. and international law, the U.S. government is legally obligated to hold Israel accountable and stop funding Israel’s human rights violations, including its apartheid system against Palestinians. The U.S. is facilitating these atrocities with our taxpayer dollars, risking the United States being implicated in genocide until our demands of ending this unjust support are acted upon.
Call and Email your Members of Congress and President Biden using our action tool and urge your friends and family to do the same. Let them know we will not give up until the Biden administration ends its unjust support of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
