To US Secretary of State Blinken, Foreign Ministers, Parliamentarians and Heads of State:

The treatment of the Palestinian people has become a stain on the conscience of the world. It is time for the world to stand up and act, to bring sanctions on key Israeli industries until Palestinians are granted full and equal civil rights. We appeal to you for moral leadership and action to save lives.

End the Spiral of Violence: Sanctions Now!

I am writing to you from Palestine with a broken heart. Blood is spilling in the streets, olive trees are being torched, and children are being killed. I just watched one of them being brought to the hospital. His name is Hamza Nassar. He was just 11 years old.

For many of us reading, Hamza will become a statistic. A number that passes in the news cycle.

But Hamza is not a number, he is someone’s son. A brother. A grandchild. A classmate. He was a beautiful dream of a brighter future. And now he is gone, forever.

This spiral of oppression and violence must end. The only way to stop Israel forcing Palestinians from their lands, the collective punishment of innocent families, Hamas firing rockets, and Israel bombing Gaza, is to make the economic cost of this conflict too high to bear.

This strategy was key to ending Apartheid in South Africa, and it will be key to finally achieving peace in the Middle East. But it won’t succeed unless there’s a massive global movement behind it -- and that’s where every one of our voices counts. When this is huge, we’ll take it directly to members of the UN Security Council demanding sanctions on Israel until it puts an end to the military occupation. Add your name now, and let’s make sure Hamza’s death is not in vain and no more dreams are vanished.
