CURRENT ACTIONS

The people of Gaza are starving. Tell your Senators to act.

It has now been nearly three months since the Israeli government imposed a total blockade on Gaza — the longest since the beginning of the war.

Food should never be used as a weapon of war. Imposing a total blockade on the entire population of Gaza is a form of collective punishment and a violation of the Geneva Convention.

Support Senate pressure on the Trump administration to do more to end this man-made crisis.

On May 12th, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification released a report warning that 1 in 5 people in Gaza are currently facing starvation and noting that the risk of famine in the Gaza Strip is not just possible — it is increasingly likely.

Consequently, malnutrition is surging. On May 6th, the World Health Organization announced that nearly 10,000 children have been treated for acute malnutrition — 1,397 for severe cases since the beginning of the year. 

This is a man-made crisis unfolding in real time. We can help push to end this crisis.

Senator Welch has introduced a resolution calling on the White House, the Department of State, and other relevant US agencies to urgently use all available diplomatic tools to:(1) secure the release of the hostages, (2)end the blockade on humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians, and (3) pursue a durable end to the conflict in Gaza.

We need every Senator to hear from their constituents. Ask your Senators to cosponsor this resolution now.

New House bill would hold settler terrorists accountable – Act now!

April 29, 2025- Yesterday, Representatives Nadler, Adam Smith, and Himes introduced the West Bank Violence Prevention Act — critical legislation that would codify President Biden’s now-repealed Executive Order that held violent extremists accountable.

President Biden didn’t begin his term with this order in place, but his administration needed a way to hold violent settlers accountable – especially as the Netanyahu government refused to take action. 

Since President Trump rescinded the Executive Order in January, settler violence skyrocketed by 30%, and groups like Hilltop Youth resumed wreaking havoc without consequence. This violence is pushing the West Bank to the brink of catastrophe — threatening the safety of Palestinians, Israelis, and broader regional stability.

The West Bank Violence Prevention Act would restore vital tools to freeze assets and sanction individuals who commit acts of violence in the West Bank. New Jewish Narrative strongly supports this bill, and we need your voice to help move it forward.

Call on Congress to Reject President Trump’s Criminal Gaza Plan

February 12, 2025- Over the past week, President Trump has double- and triple-downed on his dangerous proposal ​ for the US to “take over” Gaza. His reckless insistence that the United States participate in the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza is a clear call for ethnic cleansing –a war crime.

Trump’s claim that this forced displacement could occur without US military involvement is both deceptive and absurd. The mass expulsion of a population of this scale would inevitably require force, making his denials not only unrealistic but also deeply irresponsible.

Congress must make it clear that not a single taxpayer dollar will be spent on the forced displacement of Palestinian civilians living there.

At a time when de-escalation is imperative, any US military intervention would be catastrophic. President Trump’s desire for the United States to “take over” Gaza poses a direct threat to regional stability and human lives, including those of American service members. His rhetoric alone has already inflamed tensions and jeopardized the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, endangering the release of the remaining hostages. 

Senator Tim Kaine has introduced a vital resolution condemning any use of US military assets or personnel to take over Gaza. 

Join us in calling on Congress to reject President Trump's illegal and immoral plan. Contact your Senators and urge them to cosponsor Senator Kaine's resolution.
