15-year-old Tarek Abu Khdeir, a U.S. citizen, was brutally beaten by Israeli police in East Jerusalem. The State Department called for an investigation for this crime. However, history shows that Israel has never received punishment for killing and harming Americans. The U.S. cannot allow these injustices to continue.
The U.S. also needs to cease all monetary and military aid to Israel. Sending more than $3 Billion annually is fueling Israeli violence against Palestine and has allowed Israel to continue violating International Laws and Human Rights. Since July 7, Israel has killed at least 41 Palestinians, including 13 children; injured more than 100 people; and deliberately targeted 60 homes. Our tax dollars are being used to help Israel shed innocent blood. We must protect human rights.
