No death penalty for Palestinians!
To EU leaders:
Europe is critical to Israel’s economic survival.
The European Council has already made a statement against Israel’s approval of the death penalty, but Israel has proven time and time again that they won’t listen without definitive action. It’s time to put your money where your mouth is and suspend EU trade deals with Israel to prevent more Palestinian deaths.

Champagne bottle raised, a golden noose pinned to his chest like a badge of honour.
This is Israel’s far right minister Ben-Gvir, who has championed a push for one of the most extreme death penalty laws in the world. And now, it’s passed.
Under this new law, Palestinians will be subjected to hanging - a method of execution so cruel and violent that it’s been abandoned by most of the world - within 90 days of sentencing and with no right to a pardon. Imagine toasting to that.
For Palestinians living in the West Bank, where arbritary arrests and torture are already the norm, this is a terrifying new reality - and we must do what we can to stop it.
The EU has considered sanctioning Israel before, and they can do it again if we make this petition impossible to ignore.
