The suffering of the Jewish people during the Holocaust rightly generated worldwide sympathy and a commitment that such atrocities should never happen again. That promise must apply to everyone.
Today, many people around the world are deeply troubled by reports of mass displacement, destruction of homes, restrictions on humanitarian aid, and the immense civilian toll in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. International aid workers, human rights advocates, and organizations have documented conditions that demand urgent global attention and accountability.
The United States has provided approximately $175 billion in aid to Israel since 1948, including about $125 billion in military assistance. Additional wartime funding since 2023 has added billions more. European countries have also supplied arms and military-related support. Many taxpayers increasingly question whether their money is helping advance peace and security or prolonging conflict and human suffering.
No lasting peace can be built on starvation, displacement, collective punishment, or endless war. Human rights and international law must apply equally to all nations and all people. The world should demand an immediate end to attacks on civilians, unrestricted humanitarian access, protection of journalists, the release of hostages and detainees held without due process, and a negotiated path toward justice, security, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
Never Again must mean never again for anyone.
