Demand Rep. Eliot Engel: Hold a #DefundOccupation Hearing Now
Representative Eliot Engel
The first step to #DefundOccupation is knowing how exactly our government funds the injustices of the occupation. We’re demanding Representative Eliot Engel hold a #DefundOccupation hearing. He’s the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee – it’s his responsibility to put the occupation on trial.
Sign our petition demanding Elliot Engel hold a #DefundOccupation Hearing in the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Congress must investigate exactly how American military funding supports the human rights abuses of the occupation, so the millions of Americans watching can choose for themselves: should we fund freedom or occupation?

The majority of Americans and American Jews think the US should use human dignity and freedom as guiding values of its foreign policy towards Israel/Palestine. However, for decades, AIPAC has weaponized Jewish identity and false accusations of antisemitism to ensure that politicians across the board vote to give Israel a blank check as it continues to deny freedom and dignity to the Palestinian people — while intentionally obscuring how our money is actually spent.
Representative Eliot Engel, it’s time for you and the House Foreign Affairs Committee to hold a #DefundOccupation hearing, so every American can see once and for all how our tax dollars are used to further Israel’s military occupation: demolishing homes, building settlements, arresting children, enforcing the siege in Gaza, etc.
Will you uphold your responsibility as the Chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and put the occupation on trial?
