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.
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.
I call upon you to:
Suspend all military aid to Israel until it complies with international law and ceases its apartheid policies and war crimes.
Withdraw diplomatic protection at the United Nations and allow impartial adjudication of Israel’s violations.
Open formal congressional hearings into Israel’s human rights abuses and the misuse of U.S. aid.
Redirect aid toward humanitarian relief for Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the West Bank.
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.
