It’s no secret that Israeli forces ramp up their destructive tactics as Muslims begin celebrating their holy month of Ramadan. But one aspect often overlooked is the increasing attacks on Masjid Al-Aqsa.
In Ramadan of 2022, Israeli forces committed one of the most brutal attacks on Masjid Al Aqsa and the worshippers inside, injuring over 100 people. For decades, Israeli forces have consistently attacked worshippers inside Masjid Al-Aqsa during the holy month of Ramadan. By doing so, Israel’s goal has been to disturb the joy and sanctity of Ramadan and to send a message to Palestinians that the occupying power controls the holy city.
That’s why we at AMP decided to start this preemptive campaign to defend Masjid Al-Aqsa and the Palestinian people. On Saturday, March 25th, we sent a policy memo asking the State Department to uphold international law and recognize Eastern Jerusalem as part of the Occupied West Bank and, therefore, not under Israel’s sovereign control. We provided them with policy recommendations ranging from reinforcing the status quo arrangement in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound to ensuring that U.S. funding isn't used for acts of religious repression or incitement to violence.
We are asking all our supporters to help build pressure by reaching out to their Members of Congress and urging them to speak out in support of Palestinian worshippers and Palestinians impacted by Israeli violence and uplift our policy memo to the State Department. The time for action is now!
