Dear Gregory,
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Israel’s predictable cycle
continues: </span><strong>agree to a ceasefire, immediately break it,
count on the U.S. to cover it up, and continue the endless flow of
weapons for more murder and destruction.</strong><span style="font-weight:400"> The U.S. and Israel move about the world
with the arrogance of impunity, but their brazenness has only made it
easier to track their crimes. </span><strong>Accountability is
necessary for our world to live in peace. </strong><span style="font-weight:400">On Monday, the nonprofit organization DAWN
submitted </span><strong>172 pages of evidence</strong><span style="font-weight:400"> to the International Criminal Court (ICC)
proving the Biden Administration aided and abetted Israel’s war crimes
in Palestine. U.S. officials might think they’re above international
law, but the law is as powerful as the people who demand its
enforcement — and that’s us! </span><strong>Let’s make accountability
a priority and stop this violence from continuing. </strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400"> </span><strong>👉 </strong><span style="color:#cc0099"><a style="color:#cc0099" href="https://www.codepink.org/bidenicc?e=d99c9f81ed2f8c4dfeadefb1980db2fb&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2_26_25_pal_update_alert_1&n=5" target="_blank"><strong>Sign
the petition to ICC prosecutor Karim Khan demanding the Biden Admin be
investigated for aiding Israel’s war crimes!</strong></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">This weekend, in a major violation
of the ceasefire, </span><strong>Israel refused to release the agreed
upon 620 Palestinian political prisoners</strong><span style="font-weight:400"> despite Hamas fulfilling their end of the
deal and releasing six Israeli hostages. Netanyahu attempted to
justify Israel’s violation by calling Hamas’s hostage handovers
“humiliating,” accusing Hamas of using the Israeli captives for
“propaganda.” In reality, </span><strong>Israel cannot reckon with the
fact that their narrative is crumbling — even within Israeli
society.</strong><span style="font-weight:400"> Omer Shem Tov smiled
and kissed two Hamas members on stage as he was being released. The
Bibas family, three of whom were killed by Israel while in Gaza,
refused to allow Israeli officials at their memorial services.
Israel’s brutality is so indiscriminate, so blatant, that even the
Israeli hostages were not safe from its wrath. That </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">is </span></em><span style="font-weight:400">humiliating for Netanyahu — what message is sent when even
Israel’s own people reject its leadership? The U.S. supported Israel
as they disregarded the safety of their people to pursue their real
goal: genocide. </span><strong>This is what happens when there is no
accountability. </strong></p>
<p><strong>👉 </strong><span style="color:#cc0099"><a style="color:#cc0099" href="https://www.codepink.org/bidenicc?e=d99c9f81ed2f8c4dfeadefb1980db2fb&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2_26_25_pal_update_alert_1&n=6" target="_blank"><strong>Tell

<p><span style="font-weight:400">Israel’s ethnic cleansing across
Palestine continues to be missing from the headlines by design.
</span><strong>The U.S. doesn’t just support Israel, it makes every
attempt to bury its crimes from the public.</strong><span style="font-weight:400"> If the ICC doesn’t hold the Biden
Administration accountable, these are the crimes that will go
completely unpunished: </span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Joe Biden:</strong><span style="font-weight:400"> Ensured
U.S. weapons and money kept flowing to Israel, even when it violated
domestic and international law. In some cases, he bypassed
congressional review to approve arms shipments to allow Israel to
receive U.S. weapons unconditionally.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Antony Blinken:</strong><span style="font-weight:400">
Despite repeated warnings from his own staff and U.S. agencies that
Israel was blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza — a condition for
withholding weapons, Blinken did not withhold any assistance to
Israel.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Lloyd Austin:</strong> <span style="font-weight:400">Ignored
reports from his own department citing evidence for Israel’s crimes in
Gaza and continued providing unconditional military assistance to
Israel and public endorsement of Israeli authorities' actions. </span>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>👉 </strong><span style="color:#cc0099"><a style="color:#cc0099" href="https://www.codepink.org/bidenicc?e=d99c9f81ed2f8c4dfeadefb1980db2fb&utm_source=codepink&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2_26_25_pal_update_alert_1&n=8" target="_blank"><strong>Support
our friends at DAWN: sign the petition to ICC prosecutor Karim Khan
demanding the Biden Admin be investigated for aiding Israel’s war
crimes!</strong></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">I know it’s hard to feel like we’re
making progress while the people of Gaza suffer, but I encourage you
to take a moment to recognize what we’ve achieved the last year and a
half. Israel’s carefully crafted narrative — the foundation holding it
up — has effectively collapsed. That’s huge, and it didn’t happen
overnight. It happened because we kept pushing the envelope together.
You and I, and the millions of people across the globe who are taking
every action they can, big or small, to affect change for Palestine.
</span><strong>Now imagine what we can accomplish a year from today if
we keep pushing. </strong><span style="font-weight:400">This is a
long struggle, but I have no doubt the movement for peace will win. We
just have to keep building our power, exposing their crimes and
refusing to give up. The people of Gaza are counting on us!</span></p>
