Ali Abu Aliya from al-Mughayyir, Palestine was excited to celebrate his 15th birthday on December 4 when Israeli forces shot and killed him. He and his community were protesting Israeli settlements threatening their land and their safety.

Congress has the power to stop the flow of weapons, like the US-made rifle that killed Ali, that rountinely kill Palestinian children especially when they are demonstrating for justice—more than 81 since 2018, by Defense for Children International-Palestine's tragic count.

Congress can heed the demands of hundreds of Palestinian leaders and organizations to hold Israel accountable and defend Palestinians demonstrating for justice. Take action to call Congress into real action on Palestinian demands, to honor the dead and defend the living.
