The Israeli government is using white phosphorus indiscriminately against
civilians in Gaza. 

Now lawmakers around the world are starting to question their governments'
arms deals with Israel. Let's stand with them and demand an immediate
suspension of these deadly exports.

John,

When it comes into contact with skin, white phosphorus inflicts horrific
injuries — burning victims down to the bone.

Using it against civilians is illegal under international law, but the
Israeli government is using it indiscriminately against Palestinians in
the Gaza Strip. Israel has already killed over 9,000 Palestinians,
including 3700 children since the attacks started.

Several companies are profiting from this horror, making big bucks from
weapons -- including white phosphorous -- bought with our tax dollars and
gifted to the Israeli government.

Thankfully, lawmakers from the US to Spain are starting to question their
governments’ arms transfers to Israel. Let’s stand with them and demand an
immediate suspension of these deadly exports:

Israel manufactures a lot of its own arms, but it also receives billions
of dollars in weapons from many of our governments. Until Israel stops
these senseless attacks on Gaza and puts an end to its egregious human
rights violations against Palestinians, governments should immediately
suspend these weapon deals to Israel.

From the US to the UK, Australia, Germany, Spain, and the list goes on...
our leaders are complicit in this horror and are helping big weapons
manufacturers like Raytheon, Boeing, and General Dynamics get rich off of
war. But suspending arms deals is something our governments have done in
the past when war crimes were committed -- including to Israel after
previous attacks on Gaza.

More than ever we must show our leaders that people in every corner of the
earth are demanding they deescalate this terrible situation -- not
directly fuel it. This will only be successful if we each take a moment to
speak out. Here's our chance:
