CODEPINK: Take Action Now!

GAZA EMERGENCY: Stop the Killing NOW!

Join CODEPINK by signing our call for a US-backed ceasefire in Gaza.

We will deliver it to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice next week.

Dear Madame Secretary of State,
 
As of this writing, over 350 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.  Some 1500 are wounded—many gravely—and they languish in unspeakable conditions without reliable electricity, medical equipment, supplies or adequate facilities. As American citizens, we are horrified to watch Israel’s assault carried out with Apache helicopters made by American hands and munitions funded with tax dollars from the wages of American workers. And as women, we know how violence and unrest of this kind will disproportionately affect our sisters and the children of Gaza.  Whether they are killed, injured, or left homeless, Israel’s blockade of the Strip and its current bloody offensive, will leave Gaza’s women and children mired in a humanitarian crisis that will affect their families for years.  
 
For years, the unfolding tragedy in the Gaza Strip has been the cause of great distress to us.  We are pained by policies promulgated by the US State Department which unconditionally support the actions of Israel regardless of whether they flout international law or disregard human rights—policies which have created the current crisis.  The US-supported, illegal occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip has done nothing to foster peace in this weary region, and Palestinian women and children pay the price of our policies.  It’s time, Madame Secretary, to change US policy toward Israel and Palestine, support human rights, international law and equality. 
 
For now, however, the US government must call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.  Hundreds have been killed and many more will die as a direct result of US approval of the Israeli attacks.  You have the power to stop it.
 
Signed,
