Support an Immediate Ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza War
Many UFPJ member organizations – Veterans For Peace, FCNL, the Campaign for Peace
Disarmament and Common Security, CODEPINK, and others – are urging de-escalation and an
immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza war. Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-
MI), and others have championed legislation in support of a Congressional resolution calling for
immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Israel and occupied Palestine and to send
humanitarian aid and assistance to Gaza. This in no way would legitimize Hamas’ October 7
massacres.
Our Congressional representatives must hear from us. They must feel pressure in demanding a ceasefire and diplomacy to save lives. We urge you to write your representative in support of H. Res 786.

And if the war goes on, it only increases the likelihood that Hezbollah in Lebanon will
open up a two-front war for Israeli. Enlargement of the conflict could involve the
thousands of U.S. troops now in the war zone and even lead to Israeli/U.S. vs. Iran war
with its nuclear implications.

Preventing enlargement of the conflict to other nations in the region.
Coalescing international forces – states and civil society – for diplomacy to end this war,
to end Israeli’s post-1967 occupations, and to credibly lay the foundations for
resolution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict in ways that provide for Israeli AND
Palestinian self-determination, mutual recognition, and enduring security.
