VFP Signs On to Congressional Letter Opposing the Weaponization of Aid and Starvation in Gaza

Veterans for Peace, July 4, 2025

A press release with a link to the full letter written by Rep. Tlaib was posted on her website on June 30:

Eighteen other Members of Congress have signed on (including Senator Bernie Sanders). Veterans For Peace is one of over 90 organizations who have endorsed the letter. The backstory is related in this article by Brett Wilkins published by Common Dreams on June 30, 2025.

“We are outraged at the weaponization of humanitarian aid and escalating use of starvation as a weapon of war by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people in Gaza,” Tlaib (D-Mich.) — the only Palestinian American member of Congress — and the other lawmakers wrote in their letter to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
