The Israeli state has revoked Kshama Sawant's travel authorization for Israel, where she was going to visit the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Kshama has relentlessly fought against Israel's genocide of the Palesinian people, including in her recent campaign for Congress which called for ending all military aid to Israel, and for a full arms embargo against Israel. It’s clear that Israel does not want someone with Kshama’s record of fighting for Palestinian liberation to be in the West Bank exposing the horrific crimes being carried out every day by violent Israeli settlers with the full support of the Israeli military. Others fighting against the genocide, like socialist UK MP Zarah Sultana, have also been banned from traveling through Israel, as well as Palestinian Americans just attempting to visit their homes and relatives.

• We demand that the Israeli state restore Kshama Sawant’s travel authorization and stop banning pro-Palestinian activists and Palestinians themselves from visiting the illegally occupied West Bank.
• We call on Democratic politicians Adam Smith, Pramila Jayapal, Ro Khanna, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and AOC to support this campaign, stand with the Palestinian people, and use their elected positions to build mass movements for an end to all military aid to Israel and a for a full arms embargo against Israel.
