Subject: Demand for Immediate Reassessment of U.S. Support for Israel on Moral and Constitutional Grounds

Greetings,

I write to you as a citizen of the United States, compelled by conscience and covenant to protest our government’s unconditional support for the State of Israel. This policy violates both the laws of man and the commands of God. It defies the moral foundation upon which our republic claims to stand, and it renders the United States complicit in bloodshed, apartheid, and the destruction of a defenseless people.

"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people."Proverbs 14:34

Our ongoing military and diplomatic backing of Israel’s brutal occupation and collective punishment of the Palestinian people is a national disgrace. Scripture commands us to “defend the oppressed” (Isaiah 1:17), not arm their oppressors.

Moral and Constitutional Violations

1. Violation of International Law
Israel’s settlement expansion, apartheid system, and indiscriminate assaults on Gaza stand in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions and multiple United Nations resolutions. The United States, through its annual $3.8 billion in military aid and repeated UN vetoes, has shielded these crimes from accountability.

2. Betrayal of American Constitutional Values
Our First Amendment forbids the establishment of religion by the state, yet U.S. policy has elevated Israel to a position of theological exception, as if it were immune to standards applied elsewhere. This favoritism has fractured our alliances, polarized our own people, and inflamed global instability.

3. Complicity in the Shedding of Innocent Blood
Scripture warns,
"Your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion."Jeremiah 22:17
By supplying the weapons and shielding the perpetrators, we stand condemned before both human law and divine justice.

Demands for Immediate Action

I call upon you to:

Conclusion

The time for blind allegiance is over. As a nation that claims to be under God, we must reject what Isaiah calls a “covenant with death” (Isaiah 28:15). Failure to act is not neutrality. It is complicity. If the United States continues on this path, we will not escape the consequences.

Included are a series of six UN resolutions which can resolve the foundational issues.
