Climate activist Greta Thunberg and Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham have joined the Gaza Freedom Flotilla to attempt to break Israel’s siege and deliver desperately needed aid to the people of Gaza. In response to this courageous act of humanity, on June 1, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham posted a Times of Israel article about the flotilla on X and wrote, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!”
Sen Graham is calling for violence against an unarmed group of humanitarians trying to deliver food to starving people. Back in May, a ship with the same mission was bombed twice off the coast of Malta. Israel never confirmed the attack came from them but it is undeniable that was the case. Sen Graham’s post is encouraging another attack on the flotilla, and it is unacceptable.
We believe Sen Graham’s call for violence is unacceptable behavior for a U.S. Senator, and we need your help to take mass action to have the situation addressed! We are calling on all those who think calls for violence by Senators should not be tolerated to submit complaints to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics in order to pressure them to hold Sen Graham accountable! The more complaints the committee receives, the more likely they are to take action!
