The atrocities that the world is witnessing in Gaza demand moral clarity, not political calculation. There must be an immediate and permanent ceasefire, an end to the genocide in Gaza, and full recognition of the Palestinian people’s right to freedom, dignity, self-determination, and equal human rights.

For decades, Washington politicians from both parties have enabled a system of occupation, displacement, apartheid, and military violence while accepting millions of dollars from powerful lobbying organizations that seek to shield Israeli government policies from accountability. No special interest group should be allowed to dictate American foreign policy. The influence of AIPAC and big-money donors has distorted our democracy and helped sustain policies that have brought immense suffering to Palestinians.

American taxpayers should not be funding the destruction of Gaza. U.S. military aid and weapons transfers that facilitate violations of international law and human rights must end. Congress must stop sending bombs, missiles, and military equipment that contribute to the deaths of civilians and the devastation of entire communities. An immediate arms embargo is necessary to prevent further loss of life.

The ongoing expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem must also end. Settlement expansion, land confiscation, home demolitions, forced displacement, and settler violence undermine peace and deny Palestinians their basic rights. Palestinians in the West Bank deserve freedom of movement, security, political rights, and self-determination, not military occupation and unequal treatment under the law.

While families struggle to afford healthcare, housing, childcare, prescription medications, and higher education, Washington continues to spend billions on war and militarism. Our priorities are backwards. We need healthcare, not warfare. Housing, not bombs. Schools, not endless military spending.

A just foreign policy must be rooted in peace, diplomacy, international law, and universal human rights. Palestinians deserve to live free from occupation, siege, forced displacement, collective punishment, and violence. Human rights are not conditional. They do not depend on nationality, ethnicity, or religion.

This campaign supports:

• The Block the Bombs Act
• An immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
• Ending U.S. military aid transfers that enable human rights abuse.
• An immediate arms embargo on the Israeli government.
• Ending settlement expansion, annexation, and displacement in the West Bank.
• Full humanitarian access and reconstruction for Gaza.
• Palestinian freedom, equality, dignity, and self-determination.
• Protection of free speech and the right to advocate for Palestinian rights without intimidation or censorship.
• Removing the influence of AIPAC and all corporate special-interest money from our political system.
• A foreign policy centered on peace, justice, diplomacy, and human dignity rather than militarism and corporate profit.

The struggle for Palestinian freedom is inseparable from the broader struggle for justice, human rights, and democracy. No one should live under occupation. No child should grow up under bombardment. No government should be above accountability.

From Gaza to the West Bank, Palestinians deserve freedom, safety, dignity, and self-determination. The path to peace begins with justice. The path to justice begins with freedom. And freedom means a free Palestine.
