I grew up on food stamps. This new report is especially painful. Per the UN: A quarter of Gaza’s population is now starving. STARVING. That’s 550,000 people, including ~275,000 children.
“It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza.”
Think about this reality as you celebrate Christmas this week. We must demand and do better.
I’m running for U.S. Congress to…

…uphold human rights and dignity for all people. It is unacceptable to me that my opponent sits in a position of power, and still refuses to raise his voice to call for a ceasefire. What could be so important to him that he’s convinced watching a half million people starve is better than having the courage to call for ceasefire? This is not leadership.
I am deeply pained outraged. And my resolve has never been stronger to demand international human right law and justice for all people.
