Israel's massacre of 9 Palestinians in Jenin, including one elderly woman and two children, is just one more in Israel's long and continuous list of war crimes against the Palestinian people. This month alone, the Zionist regime has already killed 30 Palestinians, including 5 children. Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes, schools, and infrastructure in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and attacks by settlers on Palestinians, are a daily occurrence.   

The Israeli right wing fascist government is spilling more Palestinian blood and seems bent on escalating this violence further, stopping at nothing to achieve its plans to continue to expand settlements and formally annex the West Bank to Israel.  

Urgent action is needed to end the violence and Israeli apartheid. We call on the international community to intervene to protect the Palestinian people. US unconditional support and aid to Israel enables and emboldens Israel to keep committing crimes against the Palestinian people. Currently, the U.S. annually sends $3.8 billion to Israel, as the Israeli government continues to violate human rights and international law. This is in violation of the Arms Export Control Act (the Leahy Law) and makes the US a direct accomplice in all the crimes committed by the Zionist regime.

We demand that the Biden Administration place sanctions on Israel, including an immediate cessation to U.S. financial and military aid, until Israel respects international law and meets its obligation to recognize the Palestinian people's inalienable rights to return and self-determination.
