Welcome to those on the side of HUMANITY

About this site

This site is meant to counter the sense of powerlessness we feel as our government uses our taxes to enable genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

The antidote to a feeling of helplessness is taking action, doing something, anything.

Look further and you WILL find something you can do, if not from what's listed here, then from your own inspiration.

Senator Ron Wyden

Senator Wyden has approved billions of dollars of military arms for Israel in violation of federal laws. Oregonians' calls to stop arming Israel have been ignored. As Wyden's constituents, it is our responsibility to make ourselves heard.

Representative Val Hoyle

Representative Hoyle has been trying to appease the so-called "both sides" of a non-sided issue: the illegal occupation of Palestine and the resulting genocide. Might the fact that she received $42,103 from a liberal Zionist advocacy and lobby group, JStreetPAC, explain her equivocation? As her constituents, we need to make sure that Val represents our concerns and interests over a pro-Israel lobby.

Oregon Investment Council (OIC)

The OIC oversees the investments of all of Oregon's trust funds, including the Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund (OPERF). The Fund is invested in numerous industries and entities linked to harm, including the genocide in Gaza. The Council needs to know that PERS members do not want to be invested in anything that causes destruction to life or the planet.

For example some people put there tents on the rubble, two families or three live in one tent. For example, also the flat includes more than three families.  Food is scarce, very very scarce in Gaza.  The water is unclean for drinking, there is a great lack of water here in Gaza.  The tanks of the Israeli soldiers are very near from the tents of people. For example, if someone make a video of the tank, they bomb him and target him.  And any aid center which provides food for people who are hungry, they target the food center or the \u201ctaqqiyeh\u201d we call it, they target it and they target its owner.
