End the humanitarian crisis in Palestine

We call on the British Prime Minister to sign and endorse our petition and statement:

I condemn all who have contributed to the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, commit to playing an integral role in ensuring immediate and ongoing aid to those suffering in Palestine and commit to help rebuild all Palestinian hospitals, schools and water facilities that have been affected by conflict. I believe a Palestinian should be entitled to the same rights as a non Palestinian. I do not agree with British Bank Lloyds TSBs deliberate obstruction of Interpal and charitable donations reaching desperate Palestinians in need.

We urge you to ensure another 500,000 children do not die from a man made humanitarian crisis:

In 1991, many non-military targets in Iraq were bombed for example, electrical distribution centres and generating plants, waste disposal and water purification centres, factories. Hundreds died immediately from the bombing, but in the long term the hidden death toll was much higher.

The justification for this was if we cut off vital supplies of food and medicine, the people would rise up and get rid of Saddam Hussein. This created a great deal of animosity and real suffering. The United Nations determined that 3,000 Iraqis per month were slowly and painfully dying because of the attacks and subsequent sanctions, mostly from a lack of medicine and polluted water.

In a well-known interview that Lesley Stahl conducted with Madeleine Albright, who was then U.S. ambassador to the U.N., she asked, More than 500,000 Iraqi children are already dead as a direct result of sanctions. Do you think the price is worth paying? Albright responded, It is a difficult question. But, yes, we think the price is worth it.

Unlike Madeleine Albright, we do not think 500,000 children dying is a price worth paying.
