Gníomh!

This campaign is now over.

Between October 2023 and November 2023, 5,803 people used this tool to write to all political leaders in Ireland, urging them to publicly commit to supporting Cairde Palestine’s demands to end the genocide in Gaza.

On 17th October, the 11th day of Israel’s bombardments on the besieged Gaza Strip, Israel bombed the Al Ahli hospital in Gaza, killing more than 500 people including patients, doctors & those seeking refuge.

Gaza is home to 2.3 million Palestinians (1.1 million children) and is one of the world’s most densely populated places. Israel has held it under siege for 17 years. In the last 11 days Israel has dropped thousands of bombs on the imprisoned population, estimated to be the equivalent force of a quarter of a nuclear bomb. Human rights experts have also confirmed the use of the internationally-banned weapon, white phosphorus.

On 15 October 2023, over 800 scholars and practitioners of international law, conflict studies and genocide studies signed a public statement warning of the possibility of genocide being perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Signatories include prominent Holocaust and genocide studies scholars:

'As scholars and practitioners of international law, conflict studies and genocide studies, we are compelled to sound the alarm about the possibility of the crime of genocide being perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. We do not do so lightly, recognising the weight of this crime, but the gravity of the current situation demands it.'

#STADANSLAD #STOPTHEGENOCIDE to prevent further death and destruction NOW.
