AHRC Calls for US Pressure on Israel to Stop its Planned Attack on Rafah:

The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) calls upon the Biden administration to pressure Israel to stop its planned assault on Rafah. There are over 1.5 million Palestinians who have fled to Rafah from different areas of Gaza seeking shelter. Observers are predicting a bloodbath if Israel attacks the last haven for Gazans.

The only country that can influence Israeli decision makers is the US.

The unlimited US support of Israel has enabled it to commit the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The US ambassador to the UN said Israel's military operation against Rafah “cannot proceed.” President Joe Biden himself realizes the extent of Israeli criminality. He said that Israeli bombing of Gaza has been “indiscriminate.” Biden also said the Israeli operation in Gaza is “over the top.” The Biden administration knows exactly what Israel has been doing in Gaza.

At this point, the world does not want words. Action is needed. The Biden administration, as to the Palestinians, human rights, and international law, has been long on words, short on action. Many observers note that the Biden administration wants a ceasefire, however, it is unwilling to pressure Israel for one. It is time to pressure Israel as to Gaza.

“We are shocked at the brazenness of the Israelis and appalled at the monumental level of timidity of the Biden administration,” said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. “Other Presidents at times have pressured Israel, the reluctance of Biden to pressure Israel is confounding,” added Hamad. “If genocide is not reason enough to pressure Israel, then what is?” concluded Hamad.
