Thirteen members of the House, including progressive Democrats and Marjorie Taylor Greene, have described the Gaza conflict as genocide. Whip Clark addressed pro-Palestinian protesters, emphasizing the need for open-hearted action to stop the suffering in Gaza. Her spokesperson stated that Clark's stance focuses on achieving security and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis through ceasefires, aid, and respecting children's rights. Clark, formerly with the Congressional Progressive Caucus, is viewed as a significant progressive voice in the House.
We each have to continue to have an open heart about how ... how we take action to in time to make a difference, whether that is stopping the starvation and genocide and destruction of Gaza.
Security and peace for the Palestinian and Israeli people can only be achieved through a permanent ceasefire, the immediate return of the remaining hostages, and a surge of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
It should not be controversial to say that Israeli children did not deserve to be kidnapped and murdered by Hamas, nor should it be controversial to say that Palestinian children, who bear no responsibility for Hamas' atrocities, do not deserve to be killed by war or starvation.
A secure future for Israeli and Palestinian children demands a real two-state solution and a permanent end to efforts to deny their rights to exist.
