Urgent Gaza Action: Stop Arming Israel
If you are unable to see the message below, click here to view.
Dear
Israel is attacking Gaza with drones, Apache helicopters, F-16 fighter jets and naval vessels. Airstrikes on the civilian population of Gaza continue apace overwhelming the already strained hospitals as the number of killed and wounded rises.
The UK government has failed to condemn Israel's latest attack on Gaza. Instead, the UK sells arms to Israel, providing it with the material with which to carry out its acts of aggression.
» Act now to tell the UK government to Stop Arming Israel
In the last five years the British government has licensed arms exports to Israel amounting to £130 million. The government has already admitted that such equipment was used during the last devastating Israeli assault on Gaza.
The root cause of the crisis in Gaza is Israel's illegal occupation. Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, already struggling under Israel’s illegal siege.
War on Want is committed to playing its part in the search for a lasting peace based on justice for the Palestinian people, ending violence once and for all.
The government must end its complicity with Israel’s aggression and implement an effective and credible two way arms embargo on Israel now.
» Act now to tell the UK government to Stop Arming Israel
Please join us in our call and take urgent action now. Let’s ensure the government understands that complicity is no longer an option.
Best wishes
