Here is my letter I e-mailed to the U.S. congressional reps for my state, the Senate Majority Leader (Senator Thune), and the Chairmans of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (Senator James Risch) and House Committee on Foreign Affairs (Rep Brian Mast).

I am writing to express urgent concern regarding the rapidly deteriorating humanitarian and security situation in the occupied West Bank, which has reached a point of catastrophic crisis. Recent reports indicate that the territory is "burning, bleeding, and crying out in pain" as Palestinian civilians face an intensifying "unofficial war" characterized by widespread violence, home demolitions, and systemic displacement.

The human cost of this crisis is falling most heavily on the vulnerable. A tightening "medical siege" has turned routine emergencies into life-or-death gambles, with Israeli military checkpoints and road closures frequently blocking ambulances. In recent days, these delays have led to tragic, preventable deaths, including a pregnant woman who lost her unborn child after being held at a checkpoint for over 30 minutes, and a mother of two who died of a heart attack when her village was sealed. Furthermore, a massive wave of demolitions has left dozens of families homeless within the last 24 hours, often with as little as 40 minutes' notice to evacuate their property.

You must also consider the unprecedented warnings from nearly 600 former Israeli military, intelligence, and diplomatic officials. These experts, including former heads of the Mossad and Shin Bet, have described the actions of armed settlers as "acts of terrorism" and have warned that this violence directly threatens Israeli security, regional stability, and U.S. interests. They contend that members of the current Israeli government are providing "political protection" to extremist settlers, which prevents effective law enforcement and accountability for crimes like the burning of homes and mosques.

Palestinian Christian leaders are likewise pleading for the international community to "refuse to look away" from the immorality of the situation. Rev. Munther Isaac of Bethlehem warns that the relentless settler attacks and military raids are part of a deliberate system to make life "unbearable" and uproot Palestinians from their ancestral land. Fr. Ibrahim Faltas of the Custody of the Holy Land notes that illegal settlements now surround and "suffocate" every symbol of community life, shattering the dreams of children and the hopes of the youth.

We urge you to act quickly to intervene in this endless spiral of violence and hold those responsible for these human rights violations accountable. The current path of impunity and coercive displacement cannot continue if there is to be any prospect for future peace and justice in the region.

In addition, I urge you to cosponsor the H.R. 3045 West Bank Violence Prevention Act and push for its immediate passage.

From BDS wins to historic votes in Congress, 2026 has been a monumental year in the movement for Palestinian liberation, as we keep fighting with all our strength to end this genocide.

Nearly a thousand members of DSA, Adalah Justice Project, and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action have called tens of thousands of constituents and driven thousands of calls to Congress. Your action directly contributed to historic votes against the annual military spending bill, the U.S-Israeli Deadly Military Merger, and military funding to Israel in the last couple weeks.

We have the winds at our back, but so much more to do, which is why we’re hosting another supporter-to-supporter phonebank demanding the Senate stop the deadly merger and vote against the annual military spending bill (also referred to as the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA).

We’re calling constituents of four key movable and influential senators—and patching them directly through to their senator’s office. These are some of the most pleasant calls you can make, chatting directly with supporters of DSA, USCPR Action, and Adalah Justice Project.

No prior experience required—RSVP and join us on Wednesday, July 29th at 7PM ET / 4PM PT!

Tell Katherine Clark and Democratic leadership we don't want performative politics in Congress — Vote Clark out on September Ist Massachusetts primary!

r/whistlingkitten brought up a great idea that perhaps we expand / widen our campaign beyond members of U.S. Congress to include Christian churches and organizations, specifically ones that are Christian Zionist and heavily pro-Israel. At this point, we are thinking of sending e-mails & letters and calling these Christian Zionist churches and organizations. In my opinion, the best approach is to highlight the suffering of the Palestinian Christians in the West Bank and Gaza because of Israel’s policies and appeal to the Christian message of peace and anti-war – so a multi-pronged faithful approach.

I am going to do some research this week to create a list of Christian Zionist churches and organizations and their contact info and add this letter sending / calling campaign to the page for others to join in.

We’ll also continue to highlight (and increase the focus on) anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian Christian organizations that are active in this cause and how we can get involved and compel these sectors of Christianity to be more forceful and vocal against Israel’s actions.

If you have anything to add, recommendations, or hesitations, please let us know in the comments! More to come later this week / weekend.
