"Israel has succeeded in killing me"
"Israel has succeeded in killing me" |

The Israeli military just assassinated six Palestinian journalists in a targeted strike, among them beloved Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, one of the most prominent journalists still reporting from Gaza.
Like the other 200+ Palestinian journalists it has killed since the genocide began, the Israeli military murdered Anas and his colleagues for showing the world the truth about the genocide. Israel has killed more journalists than in the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, the wars in the former Yugoslavia, and the 2000s war in Afghanistan, combined.
Throughout the genocide, the Israeli government has used accusations of terrorism to discredit and target Palestinian journalists. Unsurprisingly, it seldom if ever provides evidence for such claims.
We are forever indebted to these journalists, without whom the world would know far less about Israel’s genocide. We honor their memories by remembering them not in death, but in the precious lives they lived — and in their courageous acts of defiance against a regime bent on their annihilation… |

Take Action: Block the Bombs. |

Every journalist the Israeli government has killed has been with weapons or support provided by the United States. Email your reps today and tell them to stop arming Israel’s genocide.
We need to keep up the pressure, because it’s working: In July, the majority of Senate Democrats — more than a quarter of the Senate — voted to halt U.S. weapons sales to Israel.
We’ve already written nearly 20,000 emails to our members of Congress using the tool provided by our sister organization, JVP Action. |

What we’re doing: Occupying Schumer and Gillibrand’s offices in NYC… |
|
|
On August 1, over 200 Jews and people of conscience staged a sit-in at the offices of Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand in New York City to demand that the U.S. stop starving Gaza. Protestors banged empty pots and pans to protest the U.S. government bankrolling the Israeli government’s genocidal campaign of mass starvation. Dozens were arrested. The New York Times covered the protest: “Dozens of demonstrators protesting Israel’s war in Gaza were arrested Friday at the Midtown Manhattan offices of New York’s senators, Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, days after they broke with many of their fellow Democrats by voting against a resolution to halt U.S. arms sales to Israel.” |

…and shutting down Fetterman’s office in Philly. |
|
|
On August 7, over 150 Jews and people of conscience gathered to demand Senator Fetterman take immediate action to allow life-saving aid into Gaza and stop Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. |
