Israeli militants continue to kill civilians in Gaza, including children, while some Israeli leaders openly call for new settlements in Gaza. At the same time, human rights organizations have reported that Palestinian children in the West Bank are being killed at the highest rate recorded in decades. Since October 2023, thousands of Palestinian children have been reported killed in Gaza, a staggering humanitarian tragedy that demands urgent international action.
More and more Americans are calling for an end to unconditional U.S. and EU military aid to Israel until international humanitarian law is fully respected. They are demanding that Israel immediately open all crossings for the unrestricted delivery of food, medicine, fuel and other lifesaving humanitarian assistance, end military operations that harm civilians, and support genuine negotiations toward a secure and lasting peace.
Many Americans also reject efforts to label every criticism of Israeli government policies as antisemitic. Legitimate criticism of government actions is not hatred of a people or a religion. Likewise, proposals to distribute free land in Gaza while Palestinians remain displaced disregard Palestinian claims and sovereignty.
The United States should use its influence to promote an immediate ceasefire, humanitarian relief, the protection of civilians, and a negotiated two-state solution that provides security, dignity and internationally recognized rights for Palestinians.
