Action Items for Gaza

1. Sample Letter to U.S. officials about Gaza

2.  Read about the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

3. Donate to the Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza.

4. Donate to the Coalition for Peace with Justice to enable us to continue our advocacy work.

5.  Create your own action campaign.  Legislators give greater weight to individuals who write or call with their own personal message.

Please please pick up the phone or write an email and tell and your government officials to protest the Israeli assault in GAZA; tell them you do not want your tax dollars to support the continued military occupation of Palestine; tell them you oppose any increase in military support for the Israeli occupation; tell them you want military dollars to convert to peace dollars to ensure that Palestinians can enjoy the same rights and resources Israel grants its Jewish citizens but denies non Jews both in Israel and most tragically in Palestine.  And finally, tell them that Israel must recognize Hamas as the democratically elected government of Palestine.  Real terrorism occurs when Israel occupies, bombs, and starves the Palestinian people, displaces Palestinians with the continued expansion of the Jewish settlements, refuses to recognize Hamas, and ignores the peace overtures and proposals of the Arab States.  
 
To learn more on the dire circumstances in Gaza, click here for the joint report from Amnesty International, CARE International UK, CAFOD, Christian Aid, Médecins du Monde UK, Oxfam, Save The Children UK, and Trócaire entitled "The Gaza Strip: A Humanitarian Implosion."
 

6.  Learn about the U.S. Military aid to the Israeli forces attacking Gaza.

The end to violence and death in GAZA is our responsibility.
 

Get others to call and write!
