Almost 100 American health care workers who have served in Gaza are demanding a U.S. arms embargo on Israel until a permanent cease-fire is reached — the latest plea for the Biden administration to end its unconditional support for Israel ahead of the anniversary of the country’s siege on the Palestinian territory.
In a Wednesday letter first obtained by HuffPost, the multifaith and multiethnic group of physicians, surgeons, nurses and midwives are also demanding a meeting at the White House so they can discuss Israeli war crimes they say they witnessed while volunteering in Gaza’s hospitals and clinics.
“President [Joe] Biden and Vice President [Kamala] Harris, we wish you could see the nightmares that plague so many of us since we have returned: dreams of children maimed and mutilated by our weapons, and their inconsolable mothers begging us to save them,” the letter reads.
“We wish you could hear the cries and screams our consciences will not let us forget. We cannot fathom why you continue arming the country that is deliberately killing these children en masse.”
