ACT NOW!
Dear Miriam,
The media is buzzing this week with the story that Israel is the world leader
in COVID-19 vaccinations. But medical apartheid is nothing to celebrate!
Settlers living illegally in the West Bank are getting vaccine shots while
Palestinians get nothing.

Tell progressive Congress members to condemn Israeli medical apartheid. New
Congresswoman Marie Newman tweeted, “The Netanyahu administration has a moral
and humanitarian obligation to ensure that both Israelis & Palestinians have
access to vaccines.” We need others to join her in telling Israel that they
must respect the health rights of Palestinians.

Act now!

According to the Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority is solely responsible
for the health care of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. However, those
deals were supposed to be part a more complete peace agreement to be signed
within five years. Almost three decades later, this larger peace agreement
still hasn’t happened. Israel has entrenched its settlement enterprise
occupation while flouting international law, which says clearly that an
occupying power is obligated to meet the humanitarian needs of the people it is
occupying.
Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are in dire need of the COVID-19
vaccine. According to Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, the rate of COVID-19 infection in
the West Bank and Gaza is 36%, while in Israel it’s only 4.5%. The situation in
Gaza is particularly worrisome. Gaza suffers from up to 12 hours a day without
electricity. Due to Israel’s air, land, and sea siege, as well as multiple
military assaults on the crowded enclave, there is a severe shortage of
medicine and medical equipment in Gaza, along with significant poverty and
unemployment. Quarantining and maintaining sanitation in Gaza is extremely
difficult.
Given the billions in military assistance the U.S. gives to Israel, Congress
should be outraged.

Email progressives in Congress now and tell them to speak out. They should
pressure Israel to provide vaccine doses for Palestinians in the West Bank and
Gaza.
So far, Israeli officials have said that they might offer whatever they have
leftover to the West Bank and Gaza after vaccinating Israeli citizens and East
Jerusalem Palestinians. If that isn’t medical apartheid, we don’t know what is.

Read and share Ariel Gold’s latest article explaining why Israel’s denial of
vaccine to Palestinians is medical apartheid.
