ACTION ALERT: Tell Congress: We Demand
Justice for Israel’s Murder of American Teen
MPowerChange
(April 10, 2025) ‑— On April 6, Israeli forces shot and killed 14-year-old Amer Rabee, an American citizen, and wounded two of his friends, claiming the boys were “terrorists who hurled rocks toward the highway.”1 Amer was shot 11 times and was denied immediate medical care, according to a relative who witnessed the incident, ultimately resulting in his death.
Amer’s friend Ayoub Jabara, 15, also a US citizen, is fighting for his life in the ICU. Another friend, Abdulrahman Shihada, was also injured in the attack.
Family of Jersey teen demand an explanation from Israeli forces.
Take Action for Amer, Ayoub ,and Abdulrahman
Tell Congress to condemn Amer’s killing, call for an independent and thorough US investigation, and to hold the IDF accountable.
Amer is far from the first American citizen to be killed by the Israeli military without accountability in the past 18 months. He is one of a long list of US children and adults that includes:
• Tawfic Abdel Jabbar (17)2,
• Mohammad Khdour (17)3,
• peace activist Aysenur Eygi (26)4,
• World Central Kitchen aid worker Jacob Flickinger (33)5, and
• Kamel Ahmad Jawal (56)6.
If the US government had properly investigated these killings, as was demanded by dozens of members of Congress,7 and held the Israeli military accountable, then perhaps Israeli soldiers would have thought twice about killing yet another American child. Instead, Israeli operations remain unchecked by the US — even when US citizens are killed.
The US has a legal obligation to protect its citizens wherever they are. Yet our government has not only failed to defend its own people, but it has also refused to acknowledge or investigate the crimes committed against them. This is not negligence — it’s complicity.
Take Action: Tell your members of Congress to demand an investigation into Amer’s killing.
Congress must act to protect US citizens — and stop enabling a military that kills with impunity. We cannot bring Amer back to life, but at minimum, we must demand accountability from our own government.
Write to Congress and demand justice for Amer NOW.
Thank you for everything you do.
