The following is a short message that I wrote to the Joe Biden / Kamala
Harris White House on May 16th, 2021, as part of an effort to dissuade
the administration from continuing to staunchly support Zionism and the illegal
occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
I request that the President and
Vice President direct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, and the
New York Police Department, to cease cooperation with, training of, and supply
of armaments to, the apartheid regime of the State of Israel.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 12 requires that appropriations for the
army must be limited to two years at a time, so why do Israel and its military
benefit from a ten-year aid package? This must be unconstitutional. $3.8
billion in taxpayer funds goes to Israel each year, and it needs to stop;
private trade to Israel exceeds this amount and could easily replace those
funds.
I request that the Biden Administration direct the U.S. Ambassador to
Israel, and the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, to review and respect
the pertinent United Nations resolutions regarding the need to respect human
rights, including the prohibitions against siege warfare, and against targeting
journalists and public infrastructure.
U.S.-made weapons are falling on the heads of Palestinian children, and
it needs to stop.
Please read this article I wrote about how the rights of Jews and Arabs
can be respected in the Holy Land, with either a two-state solution, or a
stateless solution based on communal autonomy and individual rights.
