Stop aid to Israel to prevent war crimes in Gaza
We, the undersigned, sharing a common feeling of revulsion at the violence being used by the state of Israel against the civil population of Gaza, call upon the Prime Minister and Government of the United Kingdom and The European Parliament to condemn the ongoing military actions of the State of Israel in Gaza as war crimes, and further as acts of terrorism;
And, being mindful that the state of Israel is the world’s largest recipient of aid funds (much of it military aid), therefore, accordingly and as required by law, to declare illegal for a period of one day (in the first instance) the sending of funds, charitable donations or aid money (including military aid), from donor nations, individuals corporations or groups residing within the above nations, to the State of Israel, including governmental and NGO recipients within Israel as amounting to unlawful funding of acts of terror and/or war crimes (and through diplomatic channels encourage other governments to also take these steps).
In the earnest hope that in the light of failure of all other measures, the threat of starvation of funds will force the state of Israel onto the path to peaceful co -existence with the peoples of Palestine,
And for the avoidance of doubt we call upon all parties to cease and desist in any and all acts of violence or warfare, with immediate effect.
We further call upon all parties to embrace and promote international Human Rights and to work towards peaceful co-existence based upon mutual respect.

Why is this important?
War crimes are being committed in Gaza by the state of Israel, which is the largest recipient of aid in the world, currently receiving $8,500,00 per day in aid from the US government alone.
The war in Gaza carries high levels of support among the Israeli population and the Israeli Government appears indifferent to international condemnation.
If governments delcare these acts war crimes and acts of terror, then following their own rules, aid or any other funding must stop.
Stopping funds to Israel, even for a token one day, may cause a drop in support among the Israeli population for the indiscriminate acts of violence and collective punishment being carried out in Gaza, where all else has failed.
