To Gordon Brown,

We call on you to take immediate action to end the massacre and humanitarian catastrophe taking place in Gaza. Over 600 people have died and thousands more have been injured as a result of the Israeli attacks and invasion. This comes after almost two years of a brutal blockade by Israel. Half of Gaza’s population are children. 80% of its population were on food aid before the air strikes and invasion.

We the undersigned call upon you to use all your influence to ensure:
  • the immediate end of all Israeli military operations including the withdrawal of their troops
  • an immediate ceasefi re by all sides
  • a permanent end to the blockade of Gaza, with the opening of all border crossings to allow international movement of people and goods
  • the suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement until Israel abides by the agreement’s human rights obligations
  • an immediate end to Britain’s arms trade with Israel If Israel refuses to halt the massacre of thousands of innocent Gazans then we demand that as a first step the government withdraws the British Ambassador to Israel.
