The United States
The United States should stop supporting Israel and pivot to helping
Palestinians. Federal Elected officials, including Senators, and the
entire congressional delegation as well as Governor’s in the United
States should condemn these violent attacks and must recognize
Palestine’s sovereignty. In January of 2023, “Israeli forces were
reported to have killed a Palestinian boy in the West Bank and nine
Palestinians were killed during an Israeli military raid in
Jenin.”11Claire Brader, Israel-Palestine conflict: Recent
developments and statements, UK Parliament, March 2, 2023, accessed

Moreover, in February of 2023, “at least 10 Palestinians were killed
and more than 100 injured during an Israeli raid in Nablus.”22Ibid.
Following the raid, there was an exchange of rocket fire in the Gaza
Strip between the Palestinian militants and Israel Defense Forces.
A military intervention seems most appropriate because it is the only
way to defend and protect Palestinians because no one else is doing it
for them. This ongoing bias and discrimination against Palestinians
(Muslim and Christian) need to stop. Palestinians have been begging for
foreign intervention for years, but NATO and the United Nations Security
Council have ignored their cry for help.
The United States must redistribute its military aid to help
Palestinians. Facilitating communications between Hamas and the Israeli
government will warrant that a new resolution can be brokered and bring
more humanitarian aid to relieve the crisis. United States has
subsidized Israel both militarily and economically for decades. They
need to hold the Israeli Government accountable for its actions and to
demand an end to the aggression against Palestinian worshipers at the
Al-Aqsa mosque compound.
Further, they must demand that both Muslim and Christian Palestinians in
and around Jerusalem, which has been their cultural and spiritual center
for nearly two millennia, be given the true freedom of worship at their
respective holy places. The United States must condemn the construction
of any more Israeli settlements in the West Bank, support for the ending
of the Israeli Defense Force’s occupation of the West Bank, and force
for the demolition of the wall that surrounds Gaza and the West Bank.
