Washington, D.C. — Today, on the second anniversary of the horrific October 7 attacks by Hamas, Indivisible Co-Executive Director Leah Greenberg issued the following statement:
“Today, on the second anniversary of the horrific attacks of October 7th, we grieve for the victims and for all who lost loved ones. We continue to call for the immediate release of all remaining hostages. Violence against civilians is not and can never be justified.
“Two years later, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government has weaponized that tragedy to carry out a campaign of collective punishment—a genocide—against the people of Gaza. The ongoing siege of Gaza City has trapped civilians in rubble and dire hunger. Roads have been blocked, hospitals destroyed, and food and medicine restricted to a trickle. This is not defense. It is annihilation.
“The deliberate destruction of Gaza is a moral catastrophe—one happening on our dime. The United States continues to supply weapons and political cover to Netanyahu’s government. That complicity must end.
“We refuse the false choice between condemning an horrific attack and condemning genocide. We can—and must—do both. True justice means no double standards. It recognizes the equal value of every life. It is a commitment to protecting every civilian, rejecting collective punishment, and demanding accountability for every crime committed.
“On this anniversary, we remember every innocent life lost—Israeli and Palestinian alike. We mourn all victims of violence, and demand justice and peace. Real safety will never come from mass killing or collective punishment. They come from equality, accountability, and humanity.”
