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,
X
