URGENT!
South Africa is suing Israel before the International Court of Justice for
alleged genocide against the Palestinian people. Within weeks, the judges could
order an immediate ceasefire – but Israel is trying to block them. Let's
increase pressure to stop the war by urging world leaders to support the
lawsuit. Let's end this horror now! The South African government just urged the
International Court of Justice to order an immediate ceasefire for Gaza,
alleging Israel is committing genocide. But Netanyahu's government looks set to
fight tooth and nail to delay a decision. As millions of innocent human
beings trapped in Palestine hold their breath, hoping for a quick verdict, we
have an urgent mission: persuade our governments to support South
Africa.Wherever you are, whatever your political views, if in the next 24 hours,
we, citizens of the world, unite to unleash a cascade of national support to
halt the bombing over Gaza, we have a tiny chance to help stop what an expert UN
Panel called: “A genocide in the making”. It might be the last one.

Dear
friends, |

The
South African government just urged the
International Court of Justice to order an
immediate ceasefire for Gaza, alleging
Israel is committing genocide. But Netanyahu's
government looks set to fight tooth and nail to
delay a decision.
As millions of
innocent human beings trapped in Palestine hold
their breath, hoping for a quick verdict,
we have an urgent mission: persuade our
governments to support South
Africa.
Wherever you are,
whatever your political views, if in the next 24
hours, we, citizens of the world, unite to
unleash a cascade of national support to halt
the bombing over Gaza, we have a tiny
chance to help stop what an expert UN Panel
called: “A genocide in the making”. It might be
the last one.

Concern
is growing around the world that the brutal
onslaught on Gaza constitutes major war-crimes.
Over 23,000 Palestinians have been killed,
including at least 10,000 children. In November
the UN Secretary General said that Gaza is
becoming a “graveyard for children”, and now
dozens of nations agree that what Israel is
committing could account to
genocide.
South Africa’s
ground-breaking case to the ICJ argues for the
court to stop the war. The lawsuit, spanning 84
heartrending pages, accuses Israel of genocide,
and cries out for immediate intervention. Every
line screams with urgency: stop the killing, end
the suffering of the Palestinian people in
Gaza.
We can't let these
words fall on deaf ears.
If our
nations stand together, filing declarations of
support for South Africa’s request to bring an
end to this war, we can face down Israel’s
attempt to discredit the case, and try to hasten
the court’s decision to force an end of the
suffering. Every second
counts.
Let’s be the voice that
Gaza desperately needs. |
|
|
|
We've
fought for human rights worldwide – from Sudan
to Myanmar to Ukraine. Our united voices have
overpowered military might before. Let’s rally
again for Gaza. Let humanity, compassion, and
justice prevail.
With unwavering
determination,

Avaaz team
P.S. Avaaz is a global
campaigning organization and civic movement –
without expertise in genocide. Avaaz therefore
relies on experts’ determination on whether the
situation in Gaza amounts to genocide. Expert
organizations like Amnesty International have
said that “there are alarming warning signs
given the staggering scale of death and
destruction with more than 23,000 Palestinians
killed in just over three months and a further
10,000 missing under the rubble, presumed dead,
as well as an appalling spike in dehumanizing
and racist rhetoric against Palestinians by
certain Israeli government and military
officials.” In November 2023 UN experts also
warned of a “grave risk of genocide” for the
Palestian people. UN experts and over 30 states
have supported South Africa’s detailed
submission. |
