"There is only one way to end violence: to address its root cause, 75 years of #Israeli military #occupation and #apartheid," said #JewishVoiceForPeace. "We must end U.S. complicity in this systemic oppression."

"The human rights group Jewish Voice for Peace on Wednesday issued an urgent call to the U.S. public, calling on Americans to pressure members of Congress to help end the ongoing airstrikes in Gaza, which have now killed at least 1,100 people and injured nearly 5,200.
"The Biden administration on Tuesday pledged to deploy military assets for #Israel to use in its assault on Gaza—which analysts say could involve even deadlier ground attacks in the coming days—and U.S. President Joe Biden said he would soon ask Congress 'to take urgent action to fund the national security requirements of our critical partners.'
"To counter that, said Jewish Voice for Peace (#JVP), Americans who oppose the killing of #Palestinian civilians in retaliation for Hamas' surprise attack over the weekend must make their voices heard by Congress as well.
"'The U.S. must work to immediately de-escalate to prevent the further loss of life, and not fuel and exacerbate the violence by sending more weapons to Israel,' said JVP. 'There is only one way to end violence: to address its root cause, 75 years of Israeli military occupation and apartheid. We must end U.S. complicity in this systemic oppression.'"
