Thousands of civilians killed.
Food, water, and aid weaponised.
Gaza reduced to rubble.
These are red lines, which the Israeli gvmt continues to cross.
The UK gvmt must take action now to avoid complicity in these atrocities. SHARE to amplify. #RedLineForGaza

"If you lift your head, you are shot right between the eyes". Mohammed risked his life to get food for his family from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The Israeli military has killed over 2000 civilians just trying to get food.
Killing the hungry is a red line. #RedLineForGaza

"You have the power to end these atrocities.โ€

This is voice of the people and we took this powerful message โ€“ alongside thousands of others from across the UK โ€“ to Liverpool, urging the government to act on Gaza.

Share the video to amplify those voices and demand change.

Demand a wealth tax๐Ÿ‘‰ bit.ly/46mfIxT
A wealthy, high-polluting few have gained extreme riches - harming people and planet. A 2% tax on wealth over ยฃ10 million could raise ยฃ24 billion annually to tackle inequality and climate change.
So are you in? ๐Ÿ“ข

Recognising the state of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly is a vital step but it must be backed by real action.
If recognition does not come with a demand for peace, a chance for Palestinians to rebuild and heal and the resumption of aid and supplies, it will be meaningless.
