Tell Keir Starmer and David Lammy to stop the UK being an ally to these atrocities
Posted: 23rd May 2025
Thank you for standing with us in calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and for the protection of Palestinians rights, health, and dignity. The situation is dire, over two million Palestinians are trapped in a living nightmare, facing starvation, attacks on healthcare, and relentless military assault.
The UK Government has taken some limited steps, including suspending trade talks with Israel and sanctioning some settler organisations. These long-overdue measures came about because of public pressure and growing international outrage, including your support, your emails, and your pressure on MPs who have increasingly called for the UK to uphold international law and take real action to end Israel’s atrocities.
But their actions still fall far short of what is urgently needed. Half-measures cannot stop the atrocities unfolding before our eyes. Now, we must go further.
That’s why we’re asking you to tell Keir Starmer and David Lammy to stop the UK being an ally to these atrocities.
The evidence of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza is impossible to ignore. Hospitals are being bombed, healthcare workers killed or abducted, and Gaza’s medical system pushed to the brink of collapse. Starvation is being used as a weapon of war, with Gaza officially declared a ‘famine zone’ by the Palestinian Prime Minister in May 2025.
Yet the UK continues to enable this horror, including by supplying parts for F-35 fighter jets used in attacks. We must demand an end to this complicity.
Our clear asks to Keir Starmer and David Lammy are:
Suspend all arms transfers to Israel, including F-35 fighter jet parts.
Hold perpetrators accountable and end Israel’s impunity.
Take all possible steps to bring an end to Israel’s unlawful occupation.
Your voice matters. Signing your name shows our leaders that the public will not tolerate inaction while atrocities continue. It helps build the pressure needed to push for real change.
Please sign now and share this with your friends, family and networks. Together, we can make a difference.
Thank you for standing with the people of Palestine at this critical time.
In solidarity,
Ziad
