Letter to the White House

Text of an e-mail I sent to President Biden through the whitehouse.gov Website, a few minutes ago:

The recent attacks on Israel shock us all and call for a strong response by Israel and her allies. Such crimes against civilians must not be tolerated. At the same time, Israel’s retaliatory actions in this time of crisis are reportedly also causing great harm to innocent civilians in Gaza. It is equally intolerable for the U.S. to condone or support these war crimes and human rights violations (indiscriminate bombing and shelling of populated areas; cutting off food, water and medicines; refusing to afford civilians safe egress from areas under attack, etc.) by a state which possesses great strength, including nuclear arms, against a stateless people. I call on you to demand that Israel treat Palestinian civilians with due care and respect now and at all times. The Palestinian people have as much right to be safe and respected in their homes as Israelis or Americans do.

For all the good it will do.
