DAY 18 UPDATE: 2 of our Jewish hunger strikers went to @SenDuckworth’s office to demand a meeting. Instead of hearing our demands that the U.S. #StopArmingIsrael, Senator Duckworth chose to call the cops on her own constituents. Undeterred, we continue to demand #ArmsEmbargoNOW!

An end the genocide will only come once the US stops writing a blank check for the Israeli military, no matter what war crimes they commit. We demand the US stop arming Israel NOW.

In its cruelty and scale of annihilation, the Israeli government’s war crimes increasingly resemble Nazi tactics. We refuse to look the other way.

The Israeli government is using starvation as a tool of genocide, and deliberately manufacturing conditions meant to bring about the destruction of the Palestinian people.

Over the past month, the Israeli army has killed more than 526 Palestinians at US-operated and mercenary-run “aid distribution” centers in Gaza.

With the false pretense of “Jewish safety” as justification and with our tax dollars to fund the atrocities, the Israeli military is committing daily massacres of starving Palestinians.

As US Jews, we understand that the Israeli genocide is carried out with US bombs, US funds, and US-facilitated impunity — we continue to demand a full weapons embargo now. Senator Duckworth has the power to challenge our country’s participation in these atrocities.

We hold the U.S. government is responsible for collaborating in the Israeli military’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Six members of our chapter began this fast as a collective call to action to demonstrate that we will not abandon Gaza. We will not look away from our government’s complicity in the starvation of millions of people in Gaza and daily massacres at US-controlled “aid” sites.

Right now we are witnessing the final stage of the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. It is unconscionable that our senator continues supporting the shipment of deadly weapons to the Israeli military that are carrying out crimes against humanity.
