Palestine could end in 7 days

Israel is set to annex much of Palestine in 7 days, violating international law and ending the possibility of a Palestinian state and freedom. Europe and others can make Israel think twice, and we cannot let this pass without outcry.

Europe and others can make Israel think twice, and we cannot let this pass without outcry. Demand our leaders act now: [Sign now]( Dear friends, In 7 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, but will besiege 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 are effectively being corralled into pockets of land -- like large open-air prisons, under the tight control of Israel. Many call it Apartheid and it might also be called ethnic concentration. 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 nation, 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, Marie, Ricken, Fadi, Nax, Mohammad, Nathan and the Avaaz team MORE INFORMATION: 400 Jewish studies scholars denounce Israeli annexation as ‘apartheid’ (Jerusalem Post) Annexation Is a Gross Violation of International Law: Europe must have a sharp Response (Der Spiegel) Unarmed Palestinian man shot dead by police in Jerusalem (CNN) Avaaz is a 60-million-person global campaign network that works to ensure that the views and values of the world's people shape global decision-making.
