This isn't hard: Condemn Israel’s genocide without equivocation. Israel’s violent ethnic cleansing of Palestine is wrong. This is simple and any leader should be able to say so. The fact my colleague cannot bring herself to say that is concerning.

⭕️ REPORT | After 61 House Democrats urged the Trump administration this week to pressure Israel to allow Gaza’s 11,000 cancer patients to reach hospitals in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Israel kept the Rafah Crossing closed Friday, leaving thousands of patients trapped in Gaza. Only 12 of the agreed 600 aid trucks were allowed to enter the Strip and no fuel deliveries were permitted for Gaza’s collapsed medical system. Israeli forces have carried out at least 3,256 ceasefire violations across Gaza since the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement was reached last October, according to a report shared by the Palestinian side with mediators and obtained by Drop Site News. In that time, Israeli attacks have killed 989 Palestinians and wounded 3,122 others. Friday alone saw 18 reported violations and 8 Palestinians wounded. 🔹 Israeli quadcopter drones opened intensive fire at civilian homes near Al-Sanafour Junction and dropped bombs on streets east of Gaza City 🔹 Artillery shell landed inside Abu Hussein School in North Gaza, wounding several civilians 🔹 Mohammad Rani Wadi, 12, shot in the left eye by an Israeli quadcopter drone on Roni Street in Khan Younis 🔹 Omar Al-Madhoun, 8, shot in the foot by armed militias operating under Israeli army protection in Mashrou' Beit Lahiya 🔹 Large-scale explosive demolitions of buildings east of Khan Younis, northeast of Jabalia Camp, and east of Jabalia 🔹 Israeli army vehicles carried out a military incursion into Al-Mansoura Street in Al-Shuja'iya neighborhood, with intensive live fire and continuous artillery shelling 🔹 Israeli army vehicles advanced and expanded the "Yellow Line" along Salah Al-Deen Street in Al-Tuffah neighborhood Since the ceasefire took effect, 989 Palestinians have been killed — including 236 children, 110 women, and 30 elderly — and 3,122 wounded, of whom nearly half are children, women, or elderly. 95 civilians have also been detained. Israel also continues to hold approximately 34 square kilometers beyond agreed withdrawal lines and has blocked repairs to electricity, water, and sewage infrastructure. Aid and movement restrictions remain severe: Aid entry ▪️ Only ~36% of agreed humanitarian aid has entered — ~216 trucks per day vs. 600 agreed ▪️ Fuel deliveries at just 14.7% of required levels Rafah crossing ▪️ Only 6,845 of 19,600 planned crossings carried out (~34.9%) ▪️ 88 individuals turned back at the crossing on the reported day The WFP estimates 77% of Gaza's population faces acute food insecurity, including 100,000 children and 37,000 pregnant women suffering from acute malnutrition — amid what MSF in May 2026 described as a "manufactured malnutrition crisis."

JD Vance: If you go back to WW2 or every major conflict in human history, they all ended with some kind of negotiation.

This isn't hard: Condemn violence without equivocation. The reported planned violence and intimidation at the University of Michigan is wrong. This is simple and any leader should be able to say so. The fact my opponent cannot bring himself to say that is concerning.
