I am writing to you as your constituent to ask you to condemn the rocket attacks by the terrorist group Hamas on Israel.
Hundreds of rockets have been fired indiscriminately by Hamas at civilians, including towards Jerusalem, which has been targeted for the first time in six years. Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorist attacks.
The escalation in tensions in Jerusalem in recent weeks is no excuse for terrorism. At its heart is a complex private legal dispute in Sheikh Jarrah, which the Israeli state is not a party to.
Internal tensions between Hamas and Fatah over the cancellation of the Palestinian Authority elections have also played their part.
Hamas has deliberately incited violence and inflamed the disputes over Sheikh Jarrah and Ramadan access to Al Aqsa/Temple Mount.
Innocent Israelis and Palestinians will suffer if this violence continues. It can be stopped now if sufficient international pressure is put on Hamas to stop the rocket attacks.
Please add your voice to the calls for them to end the violence.
Yours sincerely,
Howard Fuller
