[ [link removed] ]Palestinian children in Gaza wait behind railings with their arms
outstretched holding empty containers for food.

 

John,

The world’s highest court has just issued an historic statement – Israel’s
occupation of Palestine is totally illegal.

Horrors in Gaza are reaching boiling point. Palestinians are reporting
torture at the hands of Israeli soldiers. Schools and refugee camps are
bombed weekly. Almost 40,000 Palestinians have been slaughtered.

Now, the International Court of Justice is explicitly calling on states to
immediately halt arms sales fuelling this nightmare.

One of the worst enablers is the UK government – since 2015 it has sent
over *half a billion* pounds worth of weapons to Israel. We’re closer than
ever to ending that!

A brave legal team is going to court to halt the UK’s weapons sales – they
urgently need our help to gather critical evidence that these weapons are
being illegally used against civilians. If enough of us contribute, we can
rush them the cash they need for this crucial work immediately.

Every second counts – we're seeing that clearly. Will you help end UK arms
sales to Israel and stop the slaughter?

Almost 40,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have now been
killed in Israel’s onslaught on Gaza.

Doctors are being left “speechless” at the horrors they’re seeing
– children having their legs amputated without anesthetic, babies dying of
dehydration within days of being born.

The list of atrocities is endless. UN experts have urgently called for a
halt on arms exports to Israel given the undeniable risk that they are
being used against civilians. And the US has even found the Israeli army
responsible for gross human rights violations.

There is NO defense to keep fueling Israel’s killing machine. Yet, the UK
is doing everything it can to keep shamelessly arming Israel.

But we received amazing news last week. A brilliant group of lawyers has
just had their groundbreaking case to stop the UK’s flow of arms revived
after it was initially dismissed in February. This is huge – and means
they have a real chance of winning!

They’re working round the clock to make sure they’re ready to take this
case all the way to the High Court but it’s going to be a tough road ahead
and the next few months are critical. If all of us chip in the cost of a
coffee we can rush them the funds they need to collect extensive evidence
from Gaza and build an ironclad case. 

Miriam, if we can get the UK to halt arms sales to Israel, it could help
spell the end of this catastrophe. 

Any amount will make a difference – can you chip in?

Hundreds of thousands of Ekō members from every corner of the planet have
taken action for Gaza in the past 9 months. Let’s keep going to end this
nightmare.



  Thanks for all that you do,
