We are a growing group of about 100 concerned citizens in Jefferson
County known as Jefferson County Palestine Solidarity. We are
responding to the call from Palestinians in Gaza that we express our
solidarity with them, that we let them know that they are not alone. A
majority of Americans want a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and a very
large majority of Democrats do so. We ask that you join us and call on
President Biden and Senators Murray and Cantwell to urgently demand
an end to the war in Gaza. We ask, specifically, that you demand:
1) a permanent ceasefire in Gaza: a cessation of all Israeli air strikes
and ground attacks.
2) a stop to Israeli military support for, or active encouragement of
settler violence against civilians in the West Bank.
3) an end to the Israeli blockade of Gaza, and the immediate
restoration of clean water, electricity, fuel, food, and medical supplies.
4) an end to the transfer of weapons to Israel as long as the three
demands mentioned above have not been met.
