Help end the crisis for the people of Gaza. Two quick actions you can take
4 June 2010
With the eyes of the world focused on Gaza, the UK government has its first opportunity to make a difference on the international stage.
The words are there:
"There can be no better response from the international community to this tragedy than to achieve urgently a durable resolution to the Gaza crisis." William Hague, 1 June 2010.
"The blockade is neither justified nor sustainable... it has created a humanitarian catastrophe. This incident has shown that we need to move towards removing the blockade." Nick Clegg, 2 June 2010.
Show your support now and email the UK Government to call for an emergency international conference to lift the blockade of Gaza, allowing the free movement of people, humanitarian aid and commercial goods.

The people of Gaza deserve more than 'humanitarian aid'. They want to live ordinary lives, like the rest of us.
Collective punishment is illegal - not 'it might be', not 'arguably', not 'disputed', it is. The 'blockade' is illegal.
The call should read: ... emergency international conference to end the occupation ...
Being polite has allowed Israel impunity for its illegality.
