It is shameful that the House of Representatives passed a bill that is straight out of the well-worn authoritarian playbook. The Senate must ensure that this bill to dismantle fundamental freedoms does not move forward or become law.
This vote was proof of a permanent rupture in the once unquestioning bipartisan support for the Israeli government’s atrocities against Palestinians and a critical step toward ending the flow of lethal weapons to the Israeli government.
To end this regional war and stop the ongoing and horrific Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, the U.S. government must immediately change course.
“We call on you to immediately halt the sale, transfer, and shipment of all further weapons to the Israeli government. This is the first step towards building a future in which all people living on the land can live in safety, equality, freedom, and justice.”
“President Herzog is the head of state that is brutally oppressing millions of Palestinians through illegal military occupation and apartheid. It’s quite simple: Any member of Congress who believes in human rights should not attend or support his speech.”
The Department’s new factsheet provides guidelines for protecting all students from discrimination without censoring free speech and Palestinian rights activists.
Any sustainable and lasting peace must be rooted in justice.
“Every member of the House who voted for this should be deeply ashamed of themselves”
This is an unprecedented win for the fight for Palestinian rights.
The message from House progressives is clear: The time of Israeli impunity is over.
