The world’s highest court has just issued an historic statement –
Israel’s occupation of Palestine is totally illegal.
Horrors in Gaza are reaching boiling point. Palestinians are
reporting torture at the hands of Israeli soldiers. Schools and
refugee camps are bombed weekly. Almost 40,000 Palestinians
have been slaughtered.
Now, the International Court of Justice is explicitly calling on
states to immediately halt arms sales fuelling this nightmare.
One of the worst enablers is the UK government – since 2015 it
has sent over *half a billion* pounds worth of weapons to Israel.
We’re closer than ever to ending that !
A brave legal team is going to court to halt the UK’s weapons
sales – they urgently need our help to gather critical evidence
that these weapons are being illegally used against civilians. If
enough of us contribute, we can rush them the cash they need for
this crucial work immediately.
Every second counts – we're seeing that clearly. Will you help
end UK arms sales to Israel and stop the slaughter ?
Almost 40,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children,
have now been killed in Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.
Doctors are being left “speechless” at the horrors they’re seeing –
children having their legs amputated without anesthetic,
babies dying of dehydration within days of being born.
The list of atrocities is endless. UN experts have urgently called
for a halt on arms exports to Israel given the undeniable risk
that they are being used against civilians. And the US has even
found the Israeli army responsible for gross human rights
violations.
There is NO defense to keep fueling Israel’s killing machine.
Yet, the UK is doing everything it can to keep shamelessly
arming Israel.
But we received amazing news last week. A brilliant group of
lawyers has just had their groundbreaking case to stop the UK’s
flow of arms revived after it was initially dismissed in February.
This is huge – and means they have a real chance of winning !
They’re working round the clock to make sure they’re ready to
take this case all the way to the High Court but it’s going to be a
tough road ahead and the next few months are critical. If all of us
chip in the cost of a coffee we can rush them the funds they
need to collect extensive evidence from Gaza and build an
ironclad case.
Miriam, if we can get the UK to halt arms sales to Israel, it could
help spell the end of this catastrophe.
Any amount will make a difference – can you chip in ?
Hundreds of thousands of Ekō members from every corner of the
planet have taken action for Gaza in the past 9 months. Let’s keep
going to end this nightmare.
