--> URGENT! South Africa is suing Israel before the International Court of
Justice for alleged genocide against the Palestinian people. Within weeks,
the judges could order an immediate ceasefire – but Israel is trying to
block them. Let's increase pressure to stop the war by urging world leaders
to support the lawsuit. Let's end this horror now! The South African
government just urged the International Court of Justice to order an
immediate ceasefire for Gaza, alleging Israel is committing genocide. But
Netanyahu's government looks set to fight tooth and nail to delay a
decision. As millions of innocent human beings trapped in Palestine hold
their breath, hoping for a quick verdict, we have an urgent mission:
persuade our governments to support South Africa.Wherever you are, whatever
your political views, if in the next 24 hours, we, citizens of the world,
unite to unleash a cascade of national support to halt the bombing over
Gaza, we have a tiny chance to help stop what an expert UN Panel called: “A
genocide in the making”. It might be the last one.

Dear friends,
The South African government just urged the
International Court of Justice to order an immediate ceasefire for Gaza,
alleging Israel is committing genocide. But Netanyahu's government looks set
to fight tooth and nail to delay a decision.
As millions of innocent human beings trapped
in Palestine hold their breath, hoping for a quick verdict, we have an
urgent mission: persuade our governments to support South Africa.
Wherever you are, whatever your political
views, if in the next 24 hours, we, citizens of the world, unite to unleash
a cascade of national support to halt the bombing over Gaza, we have a tiny
chance to help stop what an expert UN Panel called: “A genocide in the
making”. It might be the last one.

Concern is growing around the world that the
brutal onslaught on Gaza constitutes major war-crimes. Over 23,000
Palestinians have been killed, including at least 10,000 children. In
November the UN Secretary General said that Gaza is becoming a “graveyard
for children”, and now dozens of nations agree that what Israel is
committing could account to genocide.
South Africa’s ground-breaking case to the
ICJ argues for the court to stop the war. The lawsuit, spanning 84
heartrending pages, accuses Israel of genocide, and cries out for immediate
intervention. Every line screams with urgency: stop the killing, end the
suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza.
We can't let these words fall on deaf ears.
If our nations stand together, filing
declarations of support for South Africa’s request to bring an end to this
war, we can face down Israel’s attempt to discredit the case, and try to
hasten the court’s decision to force an end of the suffering. Every second
counts.
Let’s be the voice that Gaza desperately
needs.
Add your voice now!
We've fought for human rights worldwide –
from Sudan to Myanmar to Ukraine. Our united voices have overpowered
military might before. Let’s rally again for Gaza. Let humanity, compassion,
and justice prevail.

P.S. Avaaz is a global campaigning
organization and civic movement – without expertise in genocide. Avaaz
therefore relies on experts’ determination on whether the situation in Gaza
amounts to genocide. Expert organizations like Amnesty International have
said that “there are alarming warning signs given the staggering scale of
death and destruction with more than 23,000 Palestinians killed in just over
three months and a further 10,000 missing under the rubble, presumed dead,
as well as an appalling spike in dehumanizing and racist rhetoric against
Palestinians by certain Israeli government and military officials.” In
November 2023 UN experts also warned of a “grave risk of genocide” for the
Palestian people. UN experts and over 30 states have supported South Africa’s
detailed submission.
