We call on U.S. President Joe Biden and U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to

- Unequivocally retract the callous lies the administration repeated to media

- Cease their blank check policies towards Israel, which are directly responsible for crimes against the Palestinian people.

- Demand the international community establish a humanitarian corridor to deliver aid to the people of Gaza

- Demand Israel lift the over 16 year siege on Gaza.

Since October 7th, 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza are without water, electricity, and with dwindling food and medical supplies, on the brink of an untold humanitarian catastrophe. This is in addition to an already brutal 16 year siege that makes Gaza almost unlivable.

This collective punishment must end. Palestinians have the right, enshrined under international law, to exist on our land and to resist annihilation. The people of the world stand with Palestine, and with an end to the blockade on Gaza that has resulted in the caging of millions for so long.

The blockade must be lifted. Supplies must be allowed in. And people must be allowed to return home.

The Zionist regime has committed war crime after war crime, bombing with white phosphorus, bombing hospitals, bombing mosques and churches, targeting children gathering water, and today bombing an UNRWA school where Gazans were taking refuge. Thousands of Palestinian men, women, and children are being massacred in a horrific manner with no end in sight.

On October 17th, the Zionist Regime intentionally targeted the Al Ahli Arabi Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, massacring over 500 Palestinians there. This massacre fully demonstrates the depraved face of the Zionist Regime, exposing its true genocidal nature - making clear its intent to massacre civilians. The Ministry of Health previously confirmed a complete power outage in Al-Shifa Hospital and other hospitals in the Gaza Strip after fuel ran out. Two days later, the Zionist Regime bombed the Church of Porphyrius. killing hundreds who had seeked refuge there.

Israel’s genocidal nature cannot be debated, ignored, or rehabilitated. This is a point of no-return. Already, we are seeing the media seek to cover up this blatant war crime - but we will not let them. The media, elected and state officials, and all supporters and defenders of the Zionist regime are complicit. They are the cause of the martyrdom of Wadea Al-Fayoume in Chicago. The United States, United Kingdom, and France blocked a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire. They have blood on all their hands. We will not forget their complicity.
