Stand for Israel: Reject Rep. Tlaib's Antisemitism in Congress

United States Senate
Washington, DC, 20510

Dear United States Senate Leadership:

I write to you as a concerned citizen who is deeply troubled by the recent event hosted by Rep. Rashida Tlaib, titled "Nakba 75 & the Palestinian People." I strongly condemn the act of denying Jewish self-determination and undermining the legitimacy of the State of Israel. It is imperative that we address the serious repercussions of such a misguided event.I write to you as a concerned citizen who is deeply troubled by the recent event hosted by Rep. Rashida Tlaib and facilitated by Senator Sanders, titled "Nakba 75 & the Palestinian People." I strongly condemn the act of denying Jewish self-determination and undermining the legitimacy of the State of Israel. It is imperative that we address the serious repercussions of such a misguided event. For a sitting United States Senator to declare the establishment of the State of Israel a “catastrophe” is reprehensible and entirely unacceptable. The timing of this event, particularly in light of the relentless rocket attacks on innocent Israeli civilians, demonstrates a profound lack of sensitivity and empathy. It is utterly unacceptable for a member of Congress to organize an event that labels Israel's establishment as a "catastrophe" while Israelis are enduring acts of terrorism. Such rhetoric not only undermines the security of the Israeli people but also hampers any prospects for peace and reconciliation. Furthermore, the involvement of organizations known for glorifying terrorism against Israel and promoting antisemitic messages is deeply disturbing. Our elected representatives must distance themselves from entities that propagate hatred and violence, as they hinder the pursuit of understanding and peaceful solutions. I urge you, as leaders in the Senate, to take a firm stance against this event and ensure that our elected officials uphold the principles of respect, inclusivity, and genuine dialogue. Denying Jewish self-determination is an affront to the values we hold dear and poses a significant threat to the U.S.-Israel relationship. It is imperative that we reaffirm our commitment to the security, prosperity, and self-determination of the State of Israel. By standing firmly against efforts to delegitimize Israel and condemning acts that deny Jewish history and rights, we can contribute to a more stable and just future in the region. I trust that you will take immediate and decisive action to address this matter and send a strong message that denying Jewish self-determination and propagating anti-Israel sentiment will not be tolerated. The United States must stand with its closest ally in the Middle East and affirm the rights of the Jewish people to their homeland. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. I eagerly await your response and hope to see the necessary measures taken to rectify this situation.
