President Joe Biden: We are a group of Jewish American authors, artists and academics. Being Jewish ways various things to everyone, however all of us have at least one Jewish moms and dad, which indicates we might transfer to Israel and get approved for Israeli citizenship. We condemn attacks on Israeli and Palestinian civilians. Our company believe it is possible and in reality required to condemn Hamas’ actions and acknowledge the historic and continuous injustice of the Palestinians. Our company believe it is possible and needed to condemn Hamas’ attack and take a stand versus the cumulative penalty of Gazans that is unfolding and speeding up as we compose. Cutting off resources to more than 2 million individuals, requiring households leave their homes in the north, indiscriminately battle a caught population– these are war criminal activities and indefensible actions. And yet the United States federal government is using “ethical” and material assistance for the dehumanization and murder of innocent Gazans. We compose to openly state our opposition to what the Israeli federal government is making with American support. We contact the United States federal government to look for an instant ceasefire and to utilize our resources towards supplying help making sure the safe return of captives and constructing a diplomatic course towards peace. As Jews, as Americans, we will be made to feel a sense of security in our neighborhoods, and worldwide, not by indisputable United States assistance for Israel, however by our federal government’s persistence on the universal human rights that numerous people consider given.
