Stop Giving Money to Israel for Genocide - Response to Pete Ricketts 10/8/25 Reply

Refer to my post on 10/2/25. I wrote to Nebraska Senator Fischer, and copied Senator Pete Ricketts, and Representative Adrian Smith

Senator Pete Rickett's sent a reply on 10/8/25. Here is my reply, which I also sent to Senator Fischer, and Representative Adrian Smith

Greetings, Senator Ricketts,

Yesterday, 10/8/2025, I received a generic reply from you when I copied you on a message I sent on 10/02/25 to Senator Deb Fischer, lamenting her generic replies that always start with “on October 7th, 2023, Hamas etc” when I call for an end to the genocide that Israel is committing against the people of Palestine.

Your generic reply also started with “on October 7th, 2023.”

In my message both of you received, I wrote, “As reported by Amnesty International: “The military offensive Israel launched in the wake of the 7 October 2023 attacks has killed more than 65,000 people, including over 18,000 children, and injured over 200,000, according to the Gaza-based Ministry of Health.” The actual number may be much higher.”

In your generic reply to me, you wrote, “Israel is our friend and closest ally in the Middle East. The United States must stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel. Hamas must surrender and free all hostages.  We must also continue to provide critical military aid to ensure that Israel is successful on the battlefield and that its people are protected at home.”

Um, why are we friends with a country committing genocide? Why are we providing them with money and weapons? You understand that it ISN’T a war, it’s a genocide, right? Like, do you have access to social media? Do you have access to briefings? I can very clearly see Palestinian children suffering and see their dead bodies, so I’m sure you can too. Are we the bad guy?

It’s disturbing to me that when I remind you that 65,000 people have been killed, including 18,000 children, that you keep beating the drums of war and disillusion that we are somehow doing something right by assisting in genocide. 

You wrapped up your generic letter by stating “My primary mission as your United States Senator is to make Government work with proven Nebraska solutions that are ready for America.”

Okay, can we stop giving BILLIONS of dollars to the genocidal country of Israel? If they are our “friends”, I think we need to reassess. It’s time to break up. They have free education and free health care. The people of Nebraska and the United States would GREATLY benefit from free education and free health care. Or is killing innocent children in Palestine more important to you?

Get your priorities straight. Get briefed better. Stop harkening back to October 7, 2023 as justification for teaming up with genocidal maniacs and giving them money that OUR people need. 

I really am doubting the morals and ethics of our elected officials, including yourself. This is very disheartening to me. I can’t vote for people who support genocide. 

I ask that you break ties with Israel. 

I ask that you commit to rebuilding in Palestine, but not in the creepy, predatory way that Trump wants to do for tourism, or that our country historically likes to do with U.S. backed leaders, but by and for the Palestinian people who are left behind with all the death, trauma, disease, and destruction, after we shamefully assisted in their genocide.
I ask that you propose/support legislation for free education and universal health care for all in the United States. 

Sincerely,

ICE Chicago Raid - Call Rep/Sens to demand Trump remove ICE from duty and support Trump's impeachment and removal from office

Feel welcome to use this script as a jump off point for your own calls about how it is unacceptable for ICE to be used on the American People 
Hi, my name is X and I’m a constituent from Y, zip code xxxxx (make sure they get the info they need to register your call)

I’m calling in regards to the human rights violations that are being enacted by ICE, Trump’s de facto private militia. A couple nights ago, 300 officers used Black Hawk military helicopters to descend upon an apartment building in Chicago for a raid in the middle of the night. 

Doors were busted down, property destroyed and people terrorized. There were no warrants, there was no cause. The claim that any gang members may have been in that apartment are completely unwarranted, literally. There was no warrant. 

Children and residents, some naked or in states of undress, were marched from the building with zip ties on and placed in UHauls. Black citizens were placed in other UHauls. People that had the appearance of possibly being immigrants were placed in other UHauls. There was no cause to do this except to show Trump, the Dictator Wannabe‘s use of force on the American People.

I urge Rep/Senator to come out on the record and say they do NOT support the use of armed forces against civilians and children. They need to demand that Trump withdraw from his illegal and unconstitutional attack on the American people. They also need to support any articles for Trump’s impeachment and removal from office.

I will not vote for those who enable the attacks on our human rights and liberties.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Letter to Senator Deb Fischer, Nebraska, Israel genocide

I sent the below to one of my Federal Senators, and then her counterpart senator, as well as my district's house rep: 
Greetings, Senator Fischer,

Every time I contact you about the genocide that Israel is conducting against the Palestinian people, I get a form letter from your office stating:

“On October 7, 2023, Iran-backed Hamas terrorists launched a brutal attack on Israel, killing over 1,200 men, women, and children, including at least 30 American citizens.”

I’ve received that on 12/12/2023, 9/27/2024, and again today 10/2/2025. You also seem to think that Trump is somehow brokering peace between Israel and the people that country is genociding? Unreal.

I would really hope that you have been briefed in the past couple years, or maybe have followed along on social media, but a lot has happened in that 2 years.

As reported by Amnesty International: “The military offensive Israel launched in the wake of the 7 October 2023 attacks has killed more than 65,000 people, including over 18,000 children, and injured over 200,000, according to the Gaza-based Ministry of Health.” The actual number may be much higher.

Okay, I thought you were pro-life. What do you say about the deaths of 18,000 children? Honestly? You can surely access the videos online of children being shot in the head by Israeli snipers, children carrying body parts of their family members, suffering traumas and indignities you can’t even imagine. This is all available online. Or do you pretend it hasn’t happened? What other excuse do you have? These children are not Hamas, or enemies. They are children, being slaughtered with your support.

More than 200 journalists have been killed. Hospitals and schools have almost all been bombed. Doctors and those providing aid have been murdered.

All this is accessible information, visible online. I don’t have your security clearance to know even more atrocious information that you are surely hiding and ignoring.

I am appalled at your form letters and your lack of humanity. People in Gaza are at the point of starvation.

A humanitarian aid flotilla has been illegally apprehended in international waters by Israel. The aid mission had baby formula and food for the people being starved by Israel. Israel has now kidnapped 497 participants from 46 countries, including U.S. civilians and veterans, so that this aid may not get through.

The fact that you have the gall to say you support Israel is mind-boggling. Weren’t you taught that genocide is wrong?

I ask, with little faith in a positive result, that you call for the immediate release of the entire fleet of humanitarian workers that Israel has illegally captured.
I ask that you withdraw support from Israel and call for an end to the genocide.
I ask that you stop voting for Israel to receive any aid or weapons from our country. 

I ask that you reallocate this money to the people of Palestine and their efforts to rebuild what Israel has destroyed with our assistance. 

I ask that you demand the punishment of every member of Israeli forces or government who has authorized or participated in this genocide.

Please start practicing what you preach. Stop blindly following Trump and party lines. I thought you are a mother and a grandmother. There will be no reward for you in your heaven if you continue on your path of supporting a genocidal nation. And you won’t have my vote in any elections we may ever have again.

Sincerely,
