I am profoundly moved by United States soldier Aaron Bushnell who recently burned himself to death in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. I feel deeply grieved but also all the more determined to preserve life.
Aaron Bushnell self-immolated, saying he could no longer be complicit in the U.S.-backed genocide against the Palestinian people.
To end the deaths of children and families and others in Palestine and to honor the supremely courageous sacrifice of Aaron Bushnell, I ask that our legislators and all elected officials halt the U.S.-backed war against the Palestinians and denounce forevermore any and all connections they have with the military-industrial complex, which is getting filthy rich off of war, surveillance, weapons, repression, and terrorism.

Is this a joke?
Perhaps a cease fire while the U.S. airlifts all civilians out of Gaza and into the U.S.
No more likly than accepting Jewish refugees in 1938 . . .
Everyone likes ot speak out but few will take in the homeless regardless of where they come from.
How many members of Hamas are there? It seems that there are millions of Palestinians. If they want peace, capture and kill or turn over Hamas members to Israel. Solves all problems.
Do any of you actually know the history of the Zionist project? That it pre-dates both world wars and was pushed forward by European and US entities? That the creation of this apartheid state involved the violent expulsion of over a million people and the murder of tens of thousands? Women were raped and disrobed in the streets. Do you support the way Israel was founded and of the violence they have enacted on Palestinians EVERY YEAR SINCE? Have you looked into the initial allegations that came out from 10/7, likely not. I bet you all believe there were beheaded babies (hint, there werent, in fact Israel killed countless of their own, and knew about this attack) If so, then shame on you. Why simp for evil? Also, Palestinians are native to the area. They are descended from ancient Hebrews and Canaanites. Converting to Islam doesnt change that. Meanwhile, the average Israeli has majority European DNA. But hey, thats just science and history. Learn it and stop being complacent in genocide.
NT, the HAMAS Charters (1988/2017) call for killing all jews worldwide. the son of one of their founders agrees HAMAS is the root of all evil…NOT Israel. end of story.
