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 April 12, 2023, https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/israel-palestine-conflict-recent-developments-and-statements/. 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.
