"Human rights abuses Palestinians suffer include “arbitrary detention, house demolition, and collective punishment,” said Sam Bahour, a Palestinian whose children attended Ramallah Friends School.

Israel punishes Palestinians as a group, using destruction of infrastructure and confiscating of dead bodies, for the actions of Hamas, according to Bahour, who works as a business consultant and independent political analyst.

Asked to comment on the argument that Israel needs U.S. military aid to ensure its continued existence, Bahour said that the approximately $4 billion the U.S. sends to Israel is a small portion of the Israeli economy. Israel has a $550 billion economy so if the U.S. cut off aid, settlement activity would decrease but Israel would not face an existential threat, according to Bahour."

My name is HAMDI AHMED, and I'm a disabled Palestine queer. Tragically, my family's evacuation plans from Gaza were thwarted by the loss of my father, our breadwinner, during the genocide. Recently, my mother fell victim to an airstrike in Deir Al-Balah, leaving me without a home. With no income and relying on the kindness of friends, I urgently need to evacuate to Egypt for safety. Any donation, no matter how small, would make a world of difference. Thank you for your support.

You have 4 posts, your entire blog is 3 days old, and your profile picture is from google. Frankly it's fucking sickening that scammers like you would use a global tragedy to try and scam people like this.

If you want to ACTUALLY help Palestinian people in their fight against the Israeli government and the genocide they are commiting consider donating to charities such as the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund and sending letters to your countries government asking for them to get involved with calls for ceasefire and relief aid.

Nearly 1 Million Across U.S. Call For Ceasefire Now

In response to the mounting humanitarian crisis in Gaza, Amnesty International USAopens in a new tab, Avaaz,opens in a new tab Demand Progressopens in a new tab, Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL)opens in a new tab, MoveOnopens in a new tab and Oxfam Americaopens in a new tab delivered nearly 1 million signatures gathered by civil society organizations at the White House today, calling on President Biden to use his influence to bring about a sustained ceasefire between Palestinian armed groups and the government of Israel.

The pause in fighting, the release of people taken hostage by Hamas, and the release of Palestinians imprisoned, including children, by the government of Israel is a welcome relief for all those involved and their families. But far more is needed to address ongoing suffering and injustice. An immediate permanent ceasefire is essential to preventing further civilian loss of life. The violence has already resulted in a death toll of 14,800 in Gaza and over 1,200 in Israel, and this loss will only continue to increase without a ceasefire. The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has been escalating for weeks, with widespread internal displacement, massive loss of life, and the unlawful deprivation of critical resources like food, water, electricity, medicine, and fuel.

There are actually SIX joint resolutions of disapproval: S. J. Res. 111-116. Here are some easy tools for contacting your senators about them:

USCPR's:

If Not Now's:

JVP email and call tool on this page:

FCNL explainer and email tool at end:

Code Pink's:

Howdy folks, the Senate will be considering the first ever resolution blocking arms to Israel. This is huge and historic; it would block government contracting and about $20 billion in arms and support. This is an uphill battle, PLEASE urge your senators to support S.J.Res114-115. This is maybe the most important piece of legislation relating to Palestine that we have ever gotten and we must seize this opportunity.

This doc has information on the resolutions and their process, as well as sample messages and a phone script you can use. Please, use this moment to hear witness for your neighbors.

Bombs are still being dropped on innocent children. And state administrators are still turning a blind eye to this situation. Politicians who are still continuing to trade arms to the region are trying to camouflage the situation by making an agreement with the recipient party and sending military logistics materials to other border countries so that the people do not realize their hypocrisy. On the other hand, they are trying to save the day by turning to their people and telling them that they “condemn this savagery” and “boycott it.” Moreover, they continue to appear as “very good” and “very sensitive” figures by calling for unity against this savagery they condemn. We can easily assume that “messages of condemnation” and “calls for unity” will soon come from other state administrators who ignore the situation. We should not forget that the law continues to be disregarded, savagery continues to spread, and babies continue to be killed because of the masses who believe in the sincerity of these politicians who mock their people.

Stop torturing and murdering defenseless, helpless children. Ceasefire now!

FCNL is a quaker group and they're definitely legit, but as far as I've been able to tell, they have a tendency to both-sides the issue

Now is no time to cut refugee numbers

The following opinion piece was written by Marisa León-Gómez Sonet, the immigration and refugee program assistant at the Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL). It was published by The Hill on 4 November 2020.

The United States has long been a safe harbor for refugees. That should not change based on the whims of a president.

But the scale and scope with which the US continues to close its borders to refugees is unprecedented, and only getting worse amidst a global crisis.

Just last month, the administration announced plans to limit refugee admittance to historically low new numbers. Current law requires consultation with House and Senate Judiciary Committees leadership by Sept. 30 prior to setting this number. But this administration has never cared much what the law says.

tackiest thing i ever saw was someone with a WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER bumper sticker from the Friends Committee On National Legislation who had cut off the part of the sticker that said FCNL on it. i know it was originally a Quaker bumper sticker because i had the exact same one on my car. if you dont want to associate with the Quaker community you dont have to put our stickers on your car >:(

This Week in the Word: As Survivors Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki, World Leader Discuss Nuclear Nonproliferation

Concerned by this growing threat, FCNL joined 100 interfaith organizations in calling on NPT members to act in accordance with their moral conscience. Our coalition urged leaders to recognize the incredible danger these weapons pose, affirm that nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought, and take swift steps toward disarmament. Nuclear weapons are not just another implement in a…

The rhetoric and actions of political figures who compete with each other in evil because of their lust for power have become nauseating for people who strive to protect their human qualities. People all over the world are making noise and organizing demonstrations so that no more children are killed. Even in places where conflicts and massacres are taking place, tens of thousands are coming together and saying “enough”. In an environment where everyone says “peace” and “justice”, political figures who still cannot understand the situation and are trying to continue various injustices are constantly trying to save the day by lighting bigger fires with more chaotic and more unlawful actions. Can the babies they kill, the lives they usurp, the people they disregard, the governance and legal systems they try to mop up, prevent the rising sun?

Stop torturing and murdering defenseless, helpless children. Ceasefire now!
