DAY 18 UPDATE: Today, 2 of our Jewish hunger strikers went to @SenDuckworth’s office to demand a meeting. Instead of hearing our demands that the U.S. #StopArmingIsrael, Senator Duckworth chose to call the cops on her own constituents. Undeterred, we continue to demand #ArmsEmbargo NOW!

As US Jews, we understand that the Israeli genocide is carried out with US bombs, US funds, and US-facilitated impunity — we continue to demand a full weapons embargo now. Senator Duckworth has the power to challenge our country’s participation in these atrocities.

We hold the U.S. government is responsible for collaborating in the Israeli military’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

Six members of our chapter began this fast as a collective call to action to demonstrate that we will not abandon Gaza. We will not look away from our government’s complicity in the starvation of millions of people in Gaza and daily massacres at US-controlled “aid” sites.

All people of conscience must say: end the genocide, let Gaza live!

Right now we are witnessing the final stage of the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. It is unconscionable that our senator continues supporting the shipment of deadly weapons to the Israeli military that are carrying out crimes against humanity.
