Dear

We are horrified at the escalating Israeli attacks on Gaza, the bombardment of a population under siege. Since last Wednesday, over 90 Palestinians, including 19 children, one a two day old baby, have been killed by the Israeli Defence Force. 63 civilians died in their homes on Saturday as a result of bombing attacks by the Israeli air force.

In a clear threat of genocide and ethnic cleansing the Israeli deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai has said that the Palestinians are risking an invasion of Gaza and a 'shoah' (Hebrew for holocaust). It is time for the international community to speak out against the policies of the Israeli government which are in open breach of the Fourth Geneva Convention and international law. Their actions constitute a War Crime.

We are calling for an immediate end to this barbarity by the Government of Israel. Peace will never be achieved through a policy of death and destruction. Peace will only be achieved by the Israeli government stopping its brutal siege of Gaza, ending its illegal occupation and abiding by international law.

We are calling on the British Government and the international community to condemn these actions and act for peace and justice for the Palestinians.
