To everyone who donated to our campaign to sanction Israel over the weekend: Thank you! Together we’ve raised £4,103 towards our target of £8,000.

We’re not quite there yet, but with your help we can close the gap! Can you donate £3 and help reach our goal today?

The world feels unbearably dark for so many people. Especially in Palestine. And it's easy to feel powerless watching the horrors unfold from afar. So, when there’s something we can do from here in the UK to push for real change, we must act. That means demanding the UK government imposes sanctions on Israel to help stop the atrocities.
|
|
|
Right now, the UK's close economic ties with Israel serve to sanitise war crimes – but they could instead be a powerful tool to push for change. That’s why we’re calling for targeted sanctions on parts of Israel’s economy involved in violations of international law.
|
|
We are demanding the UK government:
- suspends the UK's trade deal with Israel, the very text of which says it is based on respect for human rights – and cancels plans for a new trade deal,
- sanctions companies involved in Israel’s attacks on Gaza and its long-term occupation of Palestinian territory,
- bans all UK trade and investment related to Israel’s illegal settlements.
|
|
But without sustained public pressure, the UK government will continue to dodge accountability. That’s why we urgently need to mobilise people around the country to demand sanctions, develop hard-hitting media content, and carry out targeted parliamentary lobbying.

Can you donate today to help fund this campaign?

Every pound helps us ramp up the pressure on the UK government to cut off support for Israel’s war machine.
|
|
Thank you for all your support.
Best wishes,

P.S. We need to raise £8,000 to help fund the next step of our campaign demanding the UK government take serious action against Israel’s continued onslaught in Gaza. Can you help by donating today?
