We, the unified voices of the Democratic Party as the American Muslim Democratic Caucus of Florida, Muslim Democratic Caucus of Texas, American Muslim Democratic Caucus - National, Florida Democratic Progressive Caucus, passionately call upon all parties involved in the Israel-Palestine conflict to prioritize and uphold the sanctity of human life. We mourn the loss of tragic human life. Killing civilians is not acceptable, Israelis or Palestinians. It is a violation of International Humanitarian law and has been an ongoing concern for over 75 years since the establishment of Israel and the Israeli military occupation of Palestine.
The long-standing history of tension, pain, and loss in this region can only be truly addressed when all sides recognize and respect the basic human rights of every individual, regardless of their background or beliefs. It is imperative to remember that international law is established to protect these rights and to guide nations toward peaceful coexistence.
We strongly urge all parties to immediately de-escalate the current wave of violence. Continued aggression only serves to deepen wounds, perpetuate animosities, and deny future generations the opportunity to live in peace. True and lasting peace can only emerge from genuine dialogue, mutual respect, a shared commitment to justice, and recognizing Palestinians as equal people with the right to self-determination. We condemn all acts of violence.
We stand in solidarity with all individuals—whether Israeli, Palestinian, or otherwise—who aspire to live in a world free from fear, oppression, and violence. The path forward may be challenging, but together, by upholding human rights and international law, we believe a brighter and more harmonious future is possible for all.
