                  Dear friends, 

                  In 6 days, Israel's Prime Minister is set to expand Israel into much of Palestine.

                  Palestine is recognised by the United Nations. But Israel's government is simply taking it over, in violation of international law.

                  Virtually everyone opposes this, but the question is whether anyone will do anything about it. Europe and others have the power to make Israel think twice, but they need to hear a massive demand for action from citizens first. Let's give it to them! 

Demand action for Palestine now 

                  Israel is leaving bits of land to be somewhat self-governed by Palestinians, while besieging them with walls, colonies and military towers. Israel may advance its annexation in stages to decrease international alarm, but the remainder of Palestine already looks like swiss cheese; an impossible state to live in, function, and govern.

                  Palestinians would effectively be corralled into pockets of land -- like large open-air prisons, under the tight control of Israel. Many call it Apartheid. As Israel's largest trade partner, the EU can make clear that annexation and human rights violations in Palestine will lead to sanctions.

                  This is one of the most illegitimate actions ever taken in the long tragic history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. If the world yawns, it will mean a new era of injustice and cruelty. This is what Avaaz is for -- let's say "not on our watch", and raise the alarm with our leaders to act: 

Demand action for Palestine now 


                  Avaaz fought hard for the United Nations to recognize Palestine as the world's 194th state, and we won. Palestine's Ambassador to Europe said then: "Avaaz and its members across the world have played a crucial role in persuading governments to support the Palestinian people's bid for a state and for freedom and peace. They have stood with us throughout and their solidarity and support will be remembered and cherished across Palestine". Let's stand with Palestinians, Israelis, and people everywhere who want to protect rights, freedom, and laws, and not the rule of the strong governing our world.

                  With hope and determination,

                  Ricken, Marie, Fadi, Mike, Nax, Mohammad, Nathan and the Avaaz team
