The prohibition of humanitarian aid exacerbates this tragedy, leading to famine and despair. The U.S. has vetoed three UN resolutions for an immediate ceasefire, undermining global peace efforts. Your administration's resolution, while suggesting ceasefire importance, stops short of directly advocating for it. This lack of decisive action suggests compliance with ongoing atrocities, diminishing the U.S.'s moral standing. As an American deeply invested in our nation's fundamental values of justice and human decency, I am disheartened. Your administration's handling of this situation diverges significantly from the equitable foreign policies many voters, including myself, expected. This letter serves as both a plea and a declaration: without a shift towards a just and accountable foreign policy, particularly in holding Israel responsible for its actions in Gaza, you have forfeited my support. The opportunity to lead with integrity and advocate for humanity is slipping away. To regain faith from those who envision a more just world, I urge you to reevaluate your stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. America must champion peace, justice, and accountability on the global stage. Your leadership in this pivotal moment could steer the course of history towards these ideals. The world, and your electorate, await decisive, compassionate action. Sincerely, -

The recent escalation in the Palestine-Israel conflict on October 7th has led to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, the scale and severity of which have deeply concerned citizens around the globe, myself included. Reports indicate that the bombing campaign conducted by Israel in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of 32,000 people, of whom 40% were children. This devastating loss of life is unconscionable and represents a humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. In addition, the blockade on humanitarian aid has exacerbated a famine, leaving countless people starving and without hope. It has come to my attention that the United States, under your administration, has vetoed three resolutions by the UN Security Council calling for an immediate ceasefire. Such actions, or rather inactions, signal a complicity in the suffering of the Palestinian people. Furthermore, the resolution introduced by the United States, which ostensibly aims for a ceasefire but falls short of directly calling for one, appears to be an exercise in diplomatic subtlety that avoids addressing the heart of the issue. This, Mr. President, is immensely disillusioning. It is disheartening to see my country, which prides itself on justice and human rights, fail to stand up for those very principles on the international stage. Your administration’s handling of this crisis has failed to reflect the values that America should embody, and it has led me to question the direction in which our nation is headed under your leadership. Your complicity in the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people, through both action and inaction, is a stark departure from the promises of just and fair foreign policy that many Americans, including myself, believed in when casting our votes. It is clear that without a significant shift in policy and a proactive stance against the atrocities being committed, you have lost my support. To regain the trust and votes of many Americans who believe in justice and human rights, I urge you to reconsider your approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict. It is imperative that the United States leads with compassion and conviction, holding Israel accountable for crimes against humanity and actively working towards a sustainable and equitable peace in the region. President Biden, you have the power to alter the course of history, to stand on the right side of humanity, and to ensure that America once again becomes a beacon of hope and justice in a troubled world. I implore you, do not let this opportunity pass. The world is watching. Sincerely, [Your Name]
