Here is the letter of Palestine Lobby:
End Israel’s attack on Gaza now!
Tell your MP to end the attack on Gaza – sanctions on Israel NOW!
Dear [Your local MP] MP,
I am appalled that the British government has not taken action to end Israel’s horrific massacre in Gaza, and I am asking you to strongly urge the government to uphold international law and respect for Palestinian lives.
The British public is overwhelmingly opposed to the horrific loss of life in Gaza. On 19 July, 100,000 people took to the streets of London to call for urgent action to end Israel’s attack on Gaza. Protests have taken place across the country. Just hours after, Israeli troops killed 67 Palestinians in one district alone – the Shejaiya district east of Gaza City. More than 425 Palestinians have now been killed, and more than 3,000 injured.
Yet in a tweet just hours after the attack, the Foreign Secretary was quoted as saying ‘Israel has right to defend itself but must be proportionate. Best way to stop loss of life is for Hamas to stop rocket attacks.’ This is a shocking statement. The best way to stop loss of life is for the UK government to tell Israel to end its massacre. Israel is not defending itself. This latest attack on Gaza is simply the latest stage in a long, brutal, illegal, military occupation.
Please can you urgently ask the Foreign Secretary how many more toddlers, children, women and men will be killed by the Israeli army before the Foreign Secretary intervenes to insist that Israel end its targeting of civilians?
Please could you also ask that the Foreign Secretary summons the Israeli Ambassador and insists that Israel ends its war crimes in Gaza.
This is Israel’s third military assault on Gaza within six years. Successive Israeli governments have been able to carry out brutal assaults on a captive population because they have not been sanctioned for such behaviour. Moreover, components produced in Britain have been used in such attacks. I am therefore also urging you to call on the government to impose an arms embargo and sanctions on Israel until it abides by international law.
We would also urge you to vocally support Palestine’s application to the International Criminal Court so that Israel can be held to account for their crimes.
Yours sincerely,
