More than 500 of President Joe Biden's campaign and Democratic Party staffers in 2021 signed a letter calling on the president to do more to protect Palestinian human rights.
The memo, published on the platform Medium in May, 2021, followed an Israeli police raid of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, which set off an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas that killed more than 200 Palestinians and more than 10 Israelis.
"We remain horrified by the images of Palestinian civilians in Gaza killed or made homeless by Israeli airstrikes. We are outraged by Israel's efforts to forcibly and illegally expel Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah. We are shocked by Israel's destruction of a building housing international news organizations. We remain horrified by reports of Hamas rockets killing Israeli civilians.
"It is critical to acknowledge this power imbalance — that Israel's highly-advanced military occupies the West Bank and East Jerusalem and blockades the Gaza Strip, creating an uninhabitable open-air prison. While we should never reduce the loss of human life to numbers, Palestinians have suffered hundreds of casualties, demonstrative of Israel's power over Palestinians and its penchant for disproportionate responses.
"This funding will help support over a million displaced and conflict-affected people with clean water, food, hygiene support, medical care, and other essential need," the White House said in a memo.
