John,

Bombs are raining down on Palestinians. Over 1,000 people, including many children, have been killed in Gaza since Israel broke the fragile ceasefire – and Netanyahu says this is just the beginning.

There’s no justification for genocide – yet the UK government is one of the worst enablers. It’s fuelling these nightmarish airstrikes, supplying Israel with critical components for its killer war planes that are utterly destroying Gaza and its people.

But we can help end the genocide.

Our partners are taking the UK government to court in May to stop this brutal arms trade. They’re at a critical moment right now, racing to prepare a watertight case. If they win, it would be life-saving – and could unleash more lawsuits that stop the flow of weapons for good.

But this work is expensive and they’re asking for help to get it over the finish line. With all of us chipping in, we can help them win this historic case – and power the fight for justice everywhere.

Can you chip in to end the genocide?

Over 1,000 Palestinians have been brutally killed in the last two weeks alone. Ambulances have been shot at and aid workers picked off one by one, their bodies reportedly recently discovered in a mass grave. Nothing can justify this.

Yet, Prime Minister Netanyahu has explicitly ruled out any further ceasefires and stated that Israel’s increasingly depraved attacks are “only the beginning”. He couldn’t be any clearer: Israel has no intention of stopping the genocide, no matter the human cost. 

That’s why our partner’s lawsuit is more important than ever. Countless Palestinian lives are on the line and the UK’s F-35 components are making Israel’s genocide possible. Now, lawyers have a real chance of winning.

They already succeeded in pushing the UK government to partially suspend weapons licenses to Israel as part of this groundbreaking legal challenge supported by the Ekō community. But the government carved out a major exception for war plane components.

With all of us chipping in, we can help our partners finally force the UK to halt its destructive sale of killer plane parts to Israel. But they need the cash to make this historic lawsuit as strong as possible.

The next few weeks are critical. Can you rush a donation to finally end this massacre?

Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide fighting for people and the planet.

Over 50,000 Palestinians have now been killed in Gaza – and scientists are putting the number as high as 186,000. Now is the moment to act to save lives. Join us.

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