Call on the UN General Assembly to suspend genocidal Israel
Dear supporter, World leaders are gathering at the 81st Session of the UNGA this week. On 18 September 2024, the UN overwhelmingly endorsed the ICJ ruling that Israel’s occupation is illegal and constitutes apartheid, voting for sanctions to end complicity in both. It set a deadline for Israel to end its illegal occupation - September 2025. This is one year overdue. No consequences for Israel. Israel is blatantly defying international law and the UN as a whole. Its livestreamed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has continued for three years, funded, armed and shielded by the colonial West. In the illegally occupied West Bank, apartheid Israel’s military occupation forces and Israeli settler militias systematically terrorize and ethnically cleanse Palestinian communities – murdering and maiming thousands. We need you to channel your rage and grief into effective, strategic BDS accountability action now. Israel’s “total impunity” as even the complicit UN Secretary-General has termed it, has emboldened it to escalate its wars of aggression against the peoples of the entire region.The scale of its deadly attacks on the UN itself are unprecedented in the organization’s history. Israel’s membership of the UN must be suspended at the very least, and it must face serious lawful sanctions to force it to comply with international law. Your Voice Matters Sign this petition addressed to UNGA President H.E. Dr Khalilur Rahman and demand apartheid Israel be suspended from the UN, just as apartheid South Africa was once suspended. There is no justification for allowing a member state to obliterate the very principles upon which this body was founded.
