John,

The UN is calling the people of Gaza “walking corpses”. Israel’s aid blockade is starving children and babies to death.

It’s a sickening escalation of Israel’s genocide. But the haunting images are forcing a global reckoning and after years of silence and inaction world leaders are finally starting to shift course.

France, the UK, and Canada all say they’ll recognise Palestine. Despite the Israeli government’s PR campaign of denial, even Donald Trump admitted there’s starvation in Gaza, a crack in Israel’s most critical alliance.

Amidst the tragedy, we are witnessing a historic and monumental shift. But empty words from panicking world leaders aren’t enough. In this critical moment, with so many lives on the line, we need an urgent all-out push to demand real, life-saving action.

YEARS of campaigning by movements like ours have helped bring us to this point. We have our best chance to end the horrors in Gaza, and Israel’s illegal occupation. A groundswell of public outcry now could change everything. Can you chip in to fuel this bold and urgent work?

Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza has been raging for almost two years. It shouldn’t have taken the deaths of over 60,000 Palestinians and the “worst-case scenario” famine to move world leaders to speak out. But with international pressure reaching boiling point, public opinion is even shifting in Israel.

Israeli human rights monitors have said for the first time that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and tens of Israeli public figures are calling for major sanctions on Israel and demanding a permanent ceasefire. 

There’s no denying the crimes being perpetrated against Palestinians. And governments are finally starting to feel the heat. We’re working flat-out to pressure EU lawmakers to suspend the EU-Israel Trade Association Agreement, the deal that gives Israel privileged trade access to Europe, and we’re closer than ever before to making it happen.

40 Members of the European Parliament have just called on the EU to suspend its trade with Israel – and now Germany’s Chancellor Merz has said that Germany could pivot its stance and be in SUPPORT of reviewing this major deal.

It’s a major shift but lawmakers won't act unless they're blasted from every angle. We need to rapidly ramp up our campaigns to keep our demands to sanction Israel and recognise Palestine front and centre, making it impossible for them to be swept under the rug – but we can't do it alone.

If we all chip in a little, we could unleash a wave of tactics like polling, hard-hitting ads, global public demonstrations, and more. Together, we could do whatever it takes to give world leaders no other option but to finally hold Israel accountable for its crimes against humanity.

Now is the moment to tip the balance for peace in Gaza. Can you chip in to end the cycle of death?
