STATEMENT BY TOM ROSS ON GAZA
The 2024 U.S. Transhumanist Party’s Presidential Nominee
The situation in Gaza is a tragedy that demands our immediate attention and action. The world cannot stand idly by as innocent lives are lost due to the insidious actions of Benjamin Netanyahu. His brutal campaign not only violates the basic principles of humanity but also risks undoing the hard-earned good faith the world extended to Israel in the wake of the Holocaust. This is not a question of heritage; it is about the unchecked power of a narcissistic, primitive leadership that values its own survival over the lives of the people it claims to protect.
Like many Israeli citizens, I believe Netanyahu must be prosecuted for war crimes. His actions have amplified the worst stereotypes and driven a wedge between communities that should be working together towards peace. The atrocities committed under his command are not just a stain on Israel but on all of humanity.
We must urgently call for a ceasefire and a humane exchange of hostages to prevent further bloodshed. While the path to a two-state solution remains fraught with challenges, it is imperative that we explore every avenue to achieve a just and lasting peace. But first, we must stop the killing. We must prioritize human life over political gain, and we must hold those responsible for these crimes accountable.
The world is watching, and history will judge us by how we respond to this crisis. I stand with those who seek justice, who demand peace, and who refuse to allow tyranny to triumph over compassion.
