I am writing to you from Palestine with a broken heart. Children are being killed.
I just watched one of them being brought to the hospital. His name is Hamza Nassar. He was just 11 years old.
This vicious spiral of oppression and violence must end.
Our strategy must be to make the economic cost of this conflict too high to bear. It worked to end apartheid in South Africa, and it can end Israeli apartheid in Palestine. Join the call for sanctions on Israel — stand up for freedom and justice.
| For many of us reading, Hamza will become a statistic. A number that passes in the news cycle. (No coverage of colonial powers media on the murder and suffering of the “Palestinian” kids in Gaza and the West Bank) But Hamza is not a number, he is someone’s son. A brother. A grandchild. A classmate. He was a beautiful dream of a brighter future. And now he is gone, forever. This spiral of oppression and violence must end. The only way to stop Israel forcing Palestinians from their lands, the collective punishment of innocent families, Israel bombing Gaza is to make the economic cost of this conflict too high to bear. This strategy was key to ending Apartheid in South Africa, and it will be key to finally achieving peace in the Middle East. But it won’t succeed unless there’s a massive global movement behind it — and that’s where every one of our voices counts. When this is huge, we’ll take it directly to members of the UN Security Council demanding sanctions on Israel until it puts an end to the military occupation. Add your name now, and let’s make sure Hamza’s death is not in vain and no more dreams are vanished. |
| End the spiral of violence: Sanction Israel Now. Currently, the Israeli government and extremist settlers make BILLIONS of dollars from the oppression of Palestinians. The settlers stealing the homes of Palestinians are often funded and supported by the Israeli government and USA taxpayers, which allows them to live a subsidized life on land they steal. The Israeli government steals water and other natural resources from the Palestinian territories it occupies, while many Palestinians are forced to become cheap labour. Before selling weapons and surveillance technologies to violent regimes, such as the military in Myanmar and dictatorship in Saudi Arabia, Israel often experiments with them on Palestinian communities. To make freedom and peace viable, we need to shift this broken system that makes crimes against humanity a for-profit endeavor. Israel currently occupies, colonises, bombs, raids, and controls the water, trade and the borders of Palestine — a legally free nation that has been recognised by the United Nations. In Gaza, Israel has created the largest open-air prison in the world, and then blockaded it. Now as bombs fall, the families have no way to escape. These are war crimes and we wouldn’t accept them anywhere else. The Israeli government, occupying settlers AND extremists and corrupt leaders benefit from the status quo, and for too long the international community has ignored Palestinian suffering. To bring peace to the Middle East, that must change. And now is the moment to change it. This must end. Israel’s power and wealth dwarfs that of Palestine, and if it refuses to end its illegal occupation, the world must act to make the cost unbearable. Calling for sanctions on Israel is the most potent non-violent strategy to ensure sustainable peace for Israelis and achieve Palestinian freedom and justice. With hope and determination, Fadi, Marie, Christoph, Mo, Nax, John, Risalat, and the entire Avaaz team. For more information: .
