'Disturbing reports continue to emerge about mass graves in Gaza in which Palestinian victims were reportedly stripped naked with their hands tied, prompting renewed concerns about possible war crimes.' --A new UN statement news.un.org/en/story/2024/…

I support peace. I support a two-state solution. I support the return of the hostages, and freedom and safety for Israelis and Palestinians. Netanyahu is an obstacle to all of these goals. I could not in good conscience vote to send more offensive weapons to his government.

All of us have seen the tragedy of Gaza.

We've seen how Netanyahu's government has used US weapons to kill indiscriminately and create famine.

I will not participate in this carnage.

When Congress votes on sending more offensive weapons to Israel today, I will vote no. 1/
