GENOCIDE: The $1.2 Trillion spending bill that Congress passed last Friday is packed with poison pills.

This bill, meant to fund essential government functions and avert a shutdown, included provisions like:

  • A further $3.8 BILLION in military aid to Israel to perpetuate their ongoing genocide.

  • A BAN on funding for UNRWA – the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees – through the end of 2024.

  • A threat of sanctions against the UN Human Rights Council for exposing Israeli war crimes.

  • BLOCKING the Palestinian Authority from filing their own case with the International Court of Justice.

This bill guarantees the continued starvation of Palestinians in Gaza – half of whom are CHILDREN – while providing legal cover and material support for Israel to continue carrying out horrifying war crimes with American public funds.

This bipartisan “Starve the Children” bill is a flagrant violation of U.S. and international law, and there must be accountability.

Our campaign is calling for an independent investigation into U.S. funding of genocide and, if warranted, criminal prosecution. Will you join me in that call?

In January, the ICJ ruled that Israel’s assault on Gaza could plausibly be called a genocide, and required Israel to allow aid to enter Gaza even as a final ruling is pending.

Israel has not complied, and in fact has INCREASED their brutal assault and intentional starvation of Gaza.

Today, March 28, 2024, the ICJ reiterated their original order and further stipulated that Israel must allow unhindered aid into Gaza immediately. Today’s ruling also ordered the IDF not to block aid, and to refrain from committing acts which violate Palestinian rights as a protected group.

The cold hard truth is that none of Israel’s conduct in Gaza would be possible without the substantial and ongoing financial and military support of the United States government.

There is no peace without justice. We need an immediate ceasefire, an end to the slaughter in Gaza, and full release of BOTH Israeli hostages held by Hamas and Palestinian hostages held in Israeli prisons. But to secure a permanent ceasefire and an end to Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine, we must have accountability for these war crimes.

Add your name to demand justice for Palestine today.
