Palestinian civil society has called on states to take effective action to end Israel’s violations of international law. This includes introducing an immediate two-way arms embargo on Israel. Write to your MP to demand they speak out: https://bit.ly/2Ya87PB

TAKE ACTION:
1) Join a local socially distanced action, or take action in your household. Tweet using #StopArmingIsrael

3) Tell HSBC to divest from companies arming Israel, including Raytheon, who’s weapons were used in Israel’s 2014 attack.

Students can sign this petition to Universities UK, the collective body of UK higher education institutions, and local authority pension holders can use our template letter to lobby the chair of their pension fund committee.
