H.R. 2590 is a critical piece of legislation that will hold the government of Israel accountable for the abuse and cruel treatment of Palestinian children by Israeli military forces.

Israel’s settler-colonial and apartheid regime is a crime against humanity that violates international law. It is time the U.S. follows its own laws, and cut off the funding that makes this possible.

At a town hall in Natick, Massachusetts this week Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) told a group of supporters that she supported conditioning aid to Israel, but couldn’t remember whether she voted in favor of the United States’s $38 billion military aid deal with the country.

In fact, she cosponsored a 2018 bill that aimed to enshrine the agreement.

“Congress cannot ignore the ongoing violations of Palestinian human rights,” Christian faith leaders tell U.S. representatives.

Are Massachusetts activists successfully moving local politicians on Palestine? Pro-Israel groups sure think so.

A recent survey shows that a sizable majority of Democratic voters support Rep. Betty McCollum’s (MN-D) recent bill promoting Palestinian human rights. However, the legislation currently has just 26 cosponsors in the House.

Rep. Cori Bush’s statements in support of Palestinians during the most recent uprising reflect how the US discussion of Israel-Palestine is increasingly impacted by the anti-racism and anti-colonialism of the Black Lives Matter movement.

By opposing and prohibiting funding to many of the Israeli policies of military occupation that violate the human rights of the Palestinian people, and by increasing the transparency around US weapons flows to Israel, Representative Betty McCollum’s latest bill is the boldest effort ever by Congress to ensure that the United States is no longer complicit in Israel’s denial of freedom to five million Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
