While the first version of H. R. 9495 targeting pro-Palestinian nonprofits was defeated in the US House of Representatives on November 12 with 256 voting in favor the bill and 145 opposed, this week the bill will be brought back under a procedural ploy in which only a simple majority is needed to pass the bill instead of the 2/3rds majority needed last week. The following members of the House of Representatives voted for the resolution and should be contacted by their constituents. The legislation would take away the tax exempt status from nonprofit organizations by designating them as “terrorist supporting organizations“.

Veterans Call For Criminal Indictment Of Antony Blinken

A national veterans’ organization today called for a grand jury to indict Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew, for lying to Congress, violating the Export Control Act, the Genocide Prevention Act and the U.S. War Crimes Act. In a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice, Veterans For Peace (VFP) cited published reports showing that internal DOS emails and the statements of two senior State Department officials showed Blinken lied when he issued his “Report to Congress” stating, “…we do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance.”

Petition: Demand Urgent International Protection Force For Palestine

It is now clear that Israel will not comply with international demands and legal requirements to cease its massacre of the Palestinian people. In addition to its relentless bombing in Gaza, violence towards Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is rapidly escalating. Today, the IOF conducted a raid on Al-Jazeera in Ramallah and forced its closure. In the wider context of Israel's unrestrained violence, it appears likely that the IOF, combined with the illegal settlers, are preparing for a full scale campaign of terror against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Yesterday, I launched an online petition addressed to government leaders worldwide to establish an international military force to protect Palestinian civilians.

Take Action: End The Economic War On Nicaragua!

S.1881, a bill to place more sanctions on Nicaragua, had not advanced since it was filed in June of 2023, until it was suddenly passed out of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on April 16—one week after Nicaragua argued in the International Court of Justice in defense of the Palestinian people suffering a genocide. The bill may now be voted on by the full Senate any day. Nicaragua and Palestine solidarity activists responded with an emergency protest two days later and then published a petition that quickly garnered over 2,000 signatures. Today they rallied and personally delivered the petition to a group of senators.
