Breaking: Massacre in Gaza, Israel Burns Palestinians Alive

Washington, D.C. | www.adc.org | October 13, 2024 – A short while ago Israeli occupation forces launched multiple air attacks, dropping bombs on and around the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Baha. The bombings have resulted in an ongoing massacre, as graphic images and pictures show Palestinians being burned alive. Many of the victims are patients at the hospital, and all are displaced Palestinians seeking safety. A few hours prior to this massacre, Israel bombed the Al-Mufti school which was sheltering displaced Palestinians. The school bombing has killed at least 19 people so far, including a baby.

As the genocide and massacres continue, Israel’s unrestrained and calculated brutality against Palestinians and as the besiegement of northern Gaza starts its 10th day of starvation and mass killing, the Israeli regime and its enablers have reached new levels of depravity. Civilians, hospitals, schools, and vital infrastructure are being systematically obliterated, in direct contravention of international laws meant to protect human life. The world is witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe that the Israeli government is perpetrating with clear impunity.

The United States is directly responsible for the unfolding massacre at the Al-Aqsa Hospital, and for all the lives lost during this genocide. By continuing to provide unlimited tactical support, vast military aid to Israel and political and diplomatic cover, the U.S. government is not only enabling, but also coordinating and helping execute these atrocities. The Biden-Harris administration’s refusal to intervene decisively to halt Israel’s genocide in Gaza has exposed a willingness to ignore justice, human rights, and the value of human life itself. This reckless disregard for all Palestinian lives has only fueled further violence and emboldened Israel to continue its genocidal march into Lebanon – where thousands have been killed, many more injured, and millions displaced.

A majority of the country and world collectively demands the U.S. government take immediate and definitive action to halt Israel’s genocide, end its support for this brutal occupation and dismantle the apartheid system. Gaza, the West Bank and all of Palestine is in an existential struggle. It is time for the U.S. to recognize its role in this ongoing tragedy and to use its influence to end the bloodshed and hold Israel accountable.

We will continue to demand an immediate halt to this genocide, and an immediate arms embargo of U.S. aid to Israel that enables Israel’s aggression. The world has united in unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian and Lebanese people. We demand accountability, justice, and an end to this carnage once and for all.

Take a moment now and send a message to your elected official demanding an immediate end to the genocide and an arms embargo. Your activism is working; we are seeing members of Congress take a principled position after hearing from you. We need to keep pushing.
