January 2009
Dear
As you know the people of Gaza are being bombarded by a devastating onslaught from Israeli F16s, tanks and warships.
Nearly 400 people have been killed in three days and while
we deplore the firing of rockets from Gaza into Israel this can in no
way justify the systematic slaughter being conducted by Israel on a
captive unarmed civilian population.
This slaughter follows almost two years of blockade which
has prevented essential supplies of food, fuel and medicines from
reaching the Palestinian people in Gaza and causing untold suffering.
I believe that the people of Britain are horrified by the
current situation and would like to ask that you request the Foreign
Secretary, David Miliband, to say exactly what measures the government
is taking to ensure an immediate end to the military attacks on Gaza
and an immediate end to the siege as the first step in ensuring that
international law is upheld in relation to the rights of the
Palestinian people.
I would also like you to press the Foreign Secretary to take
steps to ensure that the favourable status of Israel in the EU,
including the EU trade agreement is removed immediately since it is a
country which is violating international law and I do not wish my taxes
to contribute to the economy of such a state.
Yours sincerely,
Boycott Israeli Goods - Join the protests Take Action Now!
