There are 5,000 amputees in Gaza as a result of Israel’s genocide. One quarter of them are children—the largest population of child amputees in the world. And the Israeli military is using its siege to block prostheses.
Our daughter, Rachel Corrie, was killed in 2003 in Gaza, while trying to protect a Palestinian home facing illegal destruction by the Israeli military. She was 23 years old. The massive, armored Caterpillar D-9 bulldozer that crushed her was operated by two Israeli soldiers and manufactured in the United States. It was the same type of militarized bulldozer that US presidents from George W. Bush through to Donald Trump have delivered to Israel. Today, as the destruction of Palestinian homes has only become more commonplace, not to mention the horror of Israel’s genocide, Senator Bernie Sanders will force a vote in the Senate to try to end this cycle of death by banning the transfer of D-9 bulldozers to Israel. We hope he will not take this stand alone. No policy can bring back those taken from us by these actions—children and other loved ones. But the Senate now has an opportunity to honor the memories of our daughter, other Americans, and thousands of Palestinian civilians killed, and to show that their deaths, and all the destruction, will no longer be condoned and funded. We hope those elected to represent us, the American people, understand the message that voting to block these D-9 bulldozers will send. This will not be a symbolic gesture, but a concrete step toward the protection of human life. thenation.com/article/politi…
The BBC just released a documentary on Israeli snipers shooting children in the head. 168 cases. 95 shot in the head or chest. Over two-thirds under age 12. This has been happening since October 2023. It is now April 2026.

🚨Republicans just voted 50-49 to hand the Boundary Waters to a foreign mining company that will pollute its headwaters & ship every last mineral to China. Now it goes to Trump's desk, who has financial ties to the billionaire behind the deal. They're not even pretending anymore.
