John,

It’s official. Children have started dying of starvation in Gaza.

The UN says more than half a million people are “one step away” from
famine. But Israel’s government shows no signs of stopping its onslaught –
and weapons from around the world are fueling this nightmare.

Lawyers are moving FAST, collecting evidence against Italy’s state-owned
weapons giant Leonardo – one of the biggest companies shipping deadly
weapons to Israel. But they need us behind them if they’re going to beat
this billion-dollar giant in court!

If all of us chip in the cost of a coffee we can rush them cash
immediately to pay expensive court fees, and STOP Leonardo sending weapons
to Israel. 

John, we can win this and set off a domino effect triggering
powerful lawsuits around the world. But we need you to make it happen. 

Can you chip in today to stop the massacre?

We’ve never seen anything like this. Israel’s merciless onslaught on Gaza
has caused the highest daily death toll in any conflict *this century* –
and it shows no sign of stopping. Over 12,000 children have been killed.
Homes continue to be blasted to dust, hospitals stormed, and refugee camps
attacked. 

Israel is now also threatening a ground invasion of the densely-packed
city of Rafah in southern Gaza, where over a million Palestinians have
sought refuge. They have nowhere left to flee.

But the world’s highest court has issued a damning ruling and a beacon of
hope: Israel must change course NOW to prevent genocide. This verdict sets
a hugely important precedent – it opens the door to a wave of legal cases
that could challenge weapons sales to Israel on the basis that there’s a
real and imminent risk they are being used to commit genocide.

That’s why we have a real chance of winning this. But collecting
compelling research and filing legal challenges is time-consuming and
expensive. If all of us chip in today, we can help turbo-charge our
partners’ heroic work with a mega legal fund to get Italy to cut off
Israel’s supply of deadly weapons and support other groundbreaking work
like this.

Every second we wait, more lives are on the line. Can you chip in today to
end the bloodshed?

We know governments and big business are already feeling the pressure.
Spain’s government just announced it has halted arms export licenses to
Israel and Japanese company Itochu plans to end its partnership with Elbit
Systems – Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer – by the end of the month.
A Dutch court has also ordered the Netherlands to ban the export of
US-made F-35 fighter jet parts to Israel, citing concerns that they are
being used to violate international law.

John, Palestinians’ lives are filled with terror, day in and
day out. Together, we can make sure weapons exporters have no other option
but to stop arms sales to Israel. Are you in?



  Thanks for all that you do,  
Miriam and the Ekō team
