U.S. Weapons Must Not Be Used to Perpetuate Violence and Suffering
Dear President Biden and Vice President Harris,
I write to you with a deep sense of urgency and concern over the ongoing violence in Gaza and the West Bank, where U.S.-supplied weapons are being used not for self-defense, but to create unimaginable horror and mayhem. The devastating toll of these military actions on innocent Palestinian civilians, including children, cannot be justified.
While Israel claims these operations are necessary for its security, the widespread destruction, loss of life, and displacement of families make it clear that this is not about defense, but about control. U.S. weapons are playing a direct role in these actions, which are only escalating the conflict and sowing seeds of hatred for generations to come.
It is time for the United States to take a principled stand. We must reassess our role in providing military aid that contributes to the oppression of the Palestinian people, and ensure that our support is in line with our values of justice, peace, and respect for human life. Continuing on the current path will only perpetuate violence, instability, and hostility toward the U.S. in the region.
I urge you to take immediate steps to halt the use of U.S. weapons in these operations and to advocate for an end to the occupation. The world is watching, and the U.S. must choose to be on the right side of history by promoting peace rather than enabling war.
