Ceasefire

Demand a Gaza ceasefire --- from Hamas

President Biden, after the Hamas October 7 invasion, said Israel had every right to defend itself and that “my Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.”

A ceasefire in Gaza could happen immediately if Hamas released Israeli hostages and surrendered. It is not known how many hostages, including Americans, are still alive.

October 7, 2024, is a pivotal date. This is the day that Islamic jihadists invaded Israel, seized over 200 hostages, murdered over 1,200, and committed rape, torture, and genocide against Israeli and American civilians. Now, anti-Semites, anti-Americans, Marxists, and Muslims worldwide are accusing Jews and Americans of genocide. The charges are classic Marxist “doublethink,” as written in George Orwell’s “1984.”

The inconvenient truth is that there is no Israeli occupation of Gaza. Hamas has ruled Gaza,
with no Israelis present, since 2007, when Hamas won the first and only election held in Gaza.

There have been no elections since. Surveys indicate Hamas actions are supported by over
70% of the Arab Palestinian population.

Action

● Support Israel in defeating Hamas.
● Demand Hamas surrender and return hostages so the war ends and there are no
more deaths.
● Terminate U.S. aid to Hamas, UNRWA and PLO.
● End U.S. taxpayer dollar subsidies to universities that allow anti-Semitism and anti-
Americanism to fester.
