Red Line for Gaza
Day after day we have watched the horrors in Gaza unfold on our screens as red line after red line is crossed by the Israeli government. Let’s demand our government takes action to stop this – while we still have a chance.
Now is the moment to act
If you’ve watched the horrors Israel has inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza, wanted to act but wondered ‘what difference can I really make?’. This is the moment.
We – the people of the UK – must speak out. In our masses, right now. Let’s build our own red line that is impossible for our government to ignore.
Take a minute to raise your hand for Gaza. This isn’t just a symbol. It’s a public, visual stand against the UK government’s role and a demand for justice for Gaza.
We watch horrors unfold in Gaza as red line after red line is crossed by the Israeli government. Yet the UK government continues to support it. Add your name to say: ENOUGH
We will also be joining together with other organisations to powerfully demonstrate that we stand united against the atrocities being inflicted on people in Gaza. Sign up to our email list to be the first to hear about how to get involved in upcoming mass days of action for Gaza.
Which red lines have been crossed?
STARVING PEOPLE IS A RED LINE
Israel is starving civilians in Gaza. They’re using starvation as a weapon of war by blocking the delivery of food and aid, including for women and children. Everyone in Gaza is at risk of famine.
KILLING CIVILIANS IS A RED LINE
Israel has been killing men, women and children seeking safety. They have attacked schools, hospitals, and refugee camps leaving people to perish in burning buildings.
TARGETING CHILDREN IS A RED LINE

No child is responsible for the violence we’re seeing right now. Yet children have been targeted and killed by Israeli bombing in Gaza. We have all seen the horrific injuries young children have sustained.
KILLING AID WORKERS IS A RED LINE
Humanitarian workers have been blocked from delivering life-saving aid to people in Gaza. They have also been killed in deadly attacks on marked humanitarian vehicles. It’s not only a violation of international humanitarian law, it's a violation on people simply trying to help.
KILLING THE HUNGRY IS A RED LINE
People desperately trying to collect bags of flour have been shot and mown down with tanks by Israeli forces. People have been penned in, in dangerous and degrading conditions, just to try to get something to eat.
And many more red lines continue to be crossed by the Israeli government and military. The UK government must take action now and end their complicity in these crimes.
“The situation in Gaza is beyond words, but we have to keep trying to tell the truth, because silence is complicity and giving up is not an option.”
