Dear Senators:

We, the undersigned faculty scholars at colleges and universities, are your constituents in Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho, and Oregon. We teach and conduct research at universities and colleges in numerous disciplines and professions; we represent diverse ethnic, religious, and political backgrounds. We are inspired by a similar statement authored by scholars across New England that garnered over 1,000 faculty signatures. With permission, we have borrowed language from their powerful statement to frame and raise our concerns and demands.  

Together, we call for a permanent ceasefire in Israel-Palestine; an end to Israel’s siege of the Gaza Strip and violence in the West Bank; and an enduring political resolution between Israelis and Palestinians based on international law and the principles of justice, equality, and dignity for all. We also write to emphasize—to forewarn—that Palestinians face the prospect of ethnic cleansing and exponentially increased mass deaths in the coming days now that the Israeli government has resumed its military campaign in the Gaza Strip and the siege has not been lifted. To extricate the United States from further war crimes and a genocidal campaign, to break the cycle of violence in Israel-Palestine, and to foster a lasting peace, we urge you to take the following immediate actions:

(1)  Insist on a greatly expanded and permanent ceasefire in Israel-Palestine and an end to Israel’s siege of Gaza and violence against Palestinians in the West Bank so that urgently needed food, water, medicine, electricity, fuel, and other basic services can reach Palestinian civilians, as well as to rescue or recover the estimated 6,500 Palestinians—including 4,400 children—currently missing and believed to be trapped under the rubble. An expanded and permanent ceasefire, we note, must also include preventing Israeli soldiers and settlers from attacking, killing, and displacing Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, violent incidents that predated October 7 and have increased since.

(2)  Call for the peaceful release of all Hamas-held hostages and Israel’s arbitrarily-detained Palestinians. Many of the estimated 7,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees currently held by Israel are children, arbitrarily detained, and held indefinitely without charges.

(3) Call for a United Nations peacekeeping force to be deployed to the occupied Gaza Strip, West Bank, and East Jerusalem, to help maintain the ceasefire and prevent a wider regional conflagration until a complete cessation of hostilities is reached. Given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s declaration that an Israeli security force shall remain indefinitely in Gaza after the war, coupled with ongoing attacks by Israeli soldiers and settlers against Palestinian communities in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, a peacekeeping force is also a necessary deterrent to a real  threat of Israeli annexation and ethnic cleansing of the occupied Palestinian territories.

(4) Establish an independent commission to investigate alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Israel-Palestine from October 7 until the permanent end of hostilities. In light of our federal Leahy laws, particular attention must be paid to atrocities carried out with U.S. weapons or other U.S. material support and to the attendant unprecedented civilian toll in Gaza, which UN experts and myriad legal scholars have warned is a “genocide in the making.” In view of our Leahy laws and the substantial U.S. provisions of lethal military hardware to the Netanyahu government, the most right-wing government in Israeli history, we expect the Biden administration to exert far more pressure on Israel than it has done so far, and to condition any further aid to Israel  on its compliance with its international legal obligations. From this moment forward, we urge the Biden administration to halt immediately further transfer of munitions and foreign aid to Israel until war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and a genocidal campaign against Palestinians are thoroughly investigated and brought to an end. President Biden has twice described Israel’s bombing campaign as “indiscriminate,” an assessment reportedly based on U.S. intelligence that has been shared with members of Congress. As noted by numerous experts, including the former director of Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth, it is a war crime to bomb indiscriminately. The Biden administration is thus providing munitions to a military campaign it knows is marked by war crimes. Indeed, it is circumventing congressional oversight to do so. You have a legal and a moral obligation to exercise your oversight function and end U.S. complicity in the commission of war crimes. 

(5) Condemn the ongoing national campaigns to silence scholars and students who are speaking up for Palestinian human rights or making legitimate criticisms of Israeli state policies by conflating such speech and activism with antisemitism. There should be no “Palestine Exception” to free speech and scholarship at American universities, so that the most rigorous, principled, and compelling arguments for U.S. policy in the region can be heard, and we hope, heeded. It is difficult to overstate the scale of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in the occupied Gaza Strip. Leaders of the largest relief agencies have explained in their NY Times editorial opinion just how extraordinary the level of violence is.

We view any short-term measures, such as a temporary ceasefire or “humanitarian pause,” as utterly inadequate given the unprecedented scale of civilian deaths and suffering in Gaza. The implication that the Israel Defense Forces’ air strikes, artillery fire, and siege, which has killed more than 20,000 Palestinians so far, can resume following the expiration of such temporary measures, or following the release of all Israeli hostages, is unacceptable. 

We reject antisemitism, Islamophobia, and anti-Arab racism, along with any other form of bigotry or hate speech, on and off our campuses. We unequivocally condemn any attacks on civilians, whether those brutally committed by Hamas on October 7, or the Israeli government’s brutal disregard for civilian lives and the destruction of the very fabric of sustainable human life in Gaza. The two need not be equated to make our point: what is important now is stopping the carnage, preventing a wider scale war, and saving those who are still alive. As scholars and educators, we refuse to impart to our students, our country’s youth, and the American public that killing civilians is ever an acceptable or necessary course of action—irrespective of whether the victims or perpetrators are Palestinians, Israelis, Americans, or anyone else in the human family.

It should not have taken the recent shooting of three Palestinian students in Vermont to remind us that collective care and protection must be exercised for all threatened communities and not just some. Protecting Jewish and Arab students, Palestinian and Israeli students, is not a zero-sum endeavor. Ultimately, a just resolution to this conflict is the only way to heal the tensions and polarization tearing through our campuses, and rippling across U.S. society at large.

We remember that twenty years ago our own Pacific Northwest Rachel Corrie, age 23, was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer on 16 March 2003, while undertaking nonviolent direct action to prevent demolition of the home of a Palestinian family.

At stake is not simply a foreign policy issue, but one of the greatest moral questions of our age. A military campaign where two out of three casualties are women and children has forfeited its claim to be a just war. A military siege that denies civilians the adequate provision of food, water, and medicine—including anesthesia and antibiotics for amputations and other vital surgeries—has forfeited the privilege of being provisioned with U.S. munitions financed by American taxpayers. We are now witnessing not only an epochal moment in the history of Israel-Palestine, but also of the United States, which faces the choice of using its power to foster a durable political resolution or to prolong the violence and suffering. Therefore, we call on you now to help recalibrate the moral compass of our country by calling for a permanent ceasefire, for an end to the siege, and for an end to this deplorable war on an oppressed people—the Palestinians—and thereby be on the right side of history.

Now, more than ever, is the time for the United States government to break the cycle of violence in Israel-Palestine by supporting a just and durable political resolution that addresses the root causes of this conflict—and by refusing to support further bloodshed and repression. As you proceed, respected Senators, we urge you to heed our counsel and to follow your conscience. History will remember your actions at this pivotal moment, and we, your constituents, will, too.

Sincerely,
