OK, we admit it.
You were right: all lives matter.
Palestinians, included.
On Saturday, June 8, Israel and the US massacred 236+ Palestinians in the name of saving 4 Israeli hostages.
But all lives matter—Jewish and Palestinian.
The US played an active role in Saturday’s massacre, marking a turning point. That’s why we are urging our leaders to cease and desist and turn around.

All lives matter. Jewish and Palestinian. Which is why we’re calling on our lawmakers to stop slaughtering innocents today.
Dear President Biden,
We write to express our deep anguish at the United State’s complicity in the slaughter of innocent Palestinians, especially with regard to the US participation in the June 8th massacre in Nuseirat.
While we affirm the need to secure the release of Israeli hostages from Hamas, your collective response is violating every principle of proportionality demanded by international law. No cause justifies the indiscriminate murder of civilians or the intentional infliction of collective suffering on an entire population.
We firmly stand for the dignity and value of every human life—Jewish, Israeli, Palestinian, Muslim, Christian, and every other. We emphasize the principles of equality and justice that transcend political, religious, and ethnic boundaries.
It is in this spirit that we call upon you and the United States, as the ostensible leader of human rights, to use your diplomatic, budgetary, and military influence to stop Israel’s genocidal activities, war crimes, and human rights violations in Gaza and the West Bank. Take the steps necessary to end the violence, protect civilian lives, and support initiatives that aim to bring about a just and lasting resolution to this occupation and the cycles of violence.
We will not stand by silently while the mass slaughter of innocents is repeatedly committed in our names and with our tax dollars. And we will not be forced into false political binaries.
Please turn around.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
