Dear friends,

Over 9,000 people are dead in Palestine and Israel. A child in Gaza is being killed every 15 minutes. This is absolute madness and it is getting worse . As Israel's closest ally, the American president holds the key to a ceasefire that would prevent thousands more from dying -- sign this urgent call for peace and we'll deliver it to President Biden and in media across the world.

Dear President Biden and global leaders, How many more children must die before you support the global call for a ceasefire? How many are enough? As people from across the world, we call for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the blockade in Gaza. Stop raining death on innocent people.
Ceasefire NOW!

Over 2 million people live in Gaza, and almost 50% are children under 18. The blockade has left them largely without drinking water, food or fuel.

This is illegal under international law . Hospitals are operating on wounded civilians without anesthesia. Imagine - screaming, wounded children with no painkillers to help them.

This isn't a targeted strike on Hamas -- it's the collective punishment of an entire people.The Israeli people are also in danger. After the horrors committed by Hamas, their far-right, Trump-like Prime Minister is drawing them into a war that could take years and thousands more lives. Standing with Israeli citizens does not mean standing with PM Netanyahu or supporting a cruel war that will make everyone less safe.

With key governments, like the US, giving Netanyahu the greenlight to plunge into war,the hawks of war are louder than the voices for peace. And that is one thing we can help change if we act together -- demanding the leadership we need to bring security and justice to both sides.

Join the massive call toSTOP this insanity before it's too late. Add your voice below and Avaaz will put our message in ads around the world and deliver it directly to key heads of state.

Add your voice to the global call to stop this war now! ( [link removed] )

There is no liberation for any of us when we let this kind of harm come to innocent people, and we all have a role to play in stopping it. We can be the people who choose justice over revenge. Who choose life over death. Who choose peace over war. Let’s call the world to its senses together!

With hope and determination,
Nell, Abdelrahman, Alice, Fadi, Christoph, John, Kanika, Lily, Mo and the rest of the Avaaz team
