Dear Leaders and People of the United States,
It is with a sense of responsibility and concern that I urge the United States to reconsider its current foreign policy stance towards israel.
For years, the United States has maintained a strong alliance with Israel, characterized by substantial economic, military, and diplomatic support. While I may understand the historical and strategic factors that have shaped this relationship, It is time for a reassessment of these ties.
I request that the United States government cease all forms of support to the nation of israel.
This includes, but is not limited to, financial aid, military assistance, and diplomatic backing at international forums. I believe that such a step is necessary for the following reasons:
- Alignment with American Values: The United States, as a nation that upholds the principles of democracy, human rights, and self-determination, should ensure that its foreign policies and alliances reflect these values consistently.
- Fostering Peace and Stability: A neutral stance could potentially facilitate a more balanced approach to the complex issues in the Middle East, particularly the Israel-Palestine conflict.
- Reflecting Public Sentiment: It is crucial for U.S. foreign policy to reflect the diverse perspectives and opinions of its citizens, who may hold varying views on the nature of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
I wish to clarify that this letter is not a commentary on the Israeli people or Judaism as a religion. My concern is strictly with the policies of the nation state of Israel and the United States’ support for these policies.
It is in no way “anti-semitic” to have policy issues with UN Member State israel. Further, any attempted accusation of anti-semitism or a refusal to acknowledge genocide against the Palestinian people should be regarded as Palestinian Genocide Denial.
I firmly believe in the importance of dialogue, transparency, and reflection in the formation of foreign policy.
