DEAR SENATOR or REPRESENTATIVE:

The Palestinian refugees’ legitimate right of return has been asserted time and again through numerous United Nations resolutions, all of which Israel disregards with impunity. For decades, the United States has blindly supported Israel’s constant violation of international law. Our apathy in this regard has resulted in 53 years of Palestinian suffering—three generations of Palestinians forced to live and die in squalid refugee camps. Their crime in the eyes of the United States and Israel, it seems, is that they were born Palestinian. In my eyes, the real criminals are those who rail against international law and world opinion, exempting themselves from the obligations faced by every other nation on earth. As a citizen of the U.S.A. whose tax dollars enable and perpetuate Israeli injustice, I am unwillingly implicated in these crimes. As my senator, it is your responsibility to clear my name and bring justice to 5 million Palestinian refugees.

SINCE YOU'RE HERE...

We have a small favor to ask…

… More people are reading the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Our independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

Unlike many news organizations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want our journalism to remain free and open to everyone. Democracy depends on reliable access to information. By making our journalism publicly available, we're able to hold governments, companies and institutions to account, and offer our diverse, global readership a platform for debate and commentary. This encourages us all to challenge our opinions on what’s happening throughout our world. By supporting the Washington Report – and just giving what you can afford – you can help us ensure that everyone has access to critical information for years to come.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps to support it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $1, you can support the Washington Report – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
