Veterans for Peace (VFP) has published a detailed 11-page letter to senior State Department officials and to State Department employees in both the U.S. and abroad, informing them that they are aiding and abetting the genocide in Gaza. The letter was researched and designed by attorney Terry Lodge and reviewed by a team of international lawyers.
