USPCN Endorses USCPR Action: Pressure Your Senators to Oppose Israeli Occupation of Jerusalem

Although Trump has decided to delay any US embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem for the next 6 months, Congress will vote soon on two resolutions (in the Senate and House, respectively) to call not only for the embassy move, but also to conceal Israel’s violations of international law against Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem.

The Senate resolution is phrased as the 50th anniversary of Israel’s “reunification of Jerusalem,” which in reality is the 50th anniversary of Israel’s illegal military occupation of Jerusalem, the

West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and other Palestinian and Arab lands. Such a move by the US government is a dangerous provocation that legitimizes Israel’s illegal actions in Jerusalem, including the usurpation of Palestinian land for the purpose of settlements, and violations of basic rights for Palestinians from Jerusalem and beyond.

With the SENATE VOTE COMING UP MONDAY, June 5th, the US Palestinian Community Network, a member of the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, is endorsing its URGENT CALL TO ACTION to CONTACT CONGRESS TODAY to oppose the unacceptable resolutions coming up this Monday and next week.

Take action now by doing two things:

1) WRITING A LETTER TO YOUR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS: https://uscpr.org/campaigns/jerusalem/

2) CALLING YOUR ELECTED SENATORS BY PHONE: http://act.commoncause.org/site/PageServer…

Ramadan Mubarak!
