I've just signed this emergency petition calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Already over 400 people have been killed and the death toll is climbing daily. Read below to learn more...
Dear friends,
As we watch the Gaza bloodshed with horror, appalled at how the crisis is spiraling further out of control, one thing is clear -- this violence will only lead to further civilian suffering and an escalation of the conflict.
There must be another way. Over 370 are dead and hundreds more injured -- rockets are striking Ashdod deep inside Israel for the very first time, and the sides are mobilising for invasion. A global response has begun, but it'll take more than words -- the immediate violence won't end, nor will wider peace be secured, without firm action from the international community.
Today, we're launching an emergency campaign which will be delivered to the UN Security Council and key world powers, urging them to act to ensure an immediate ceasefire, address the growing humanitarian crisis, and take steps to build real and lasting peace.1 Follow this link now to sign the emergency petition and send it to everyone you know:

After eight or more years of ineffective US and global diplomacy -- and now Gaza's bloodiest day in recent memory -- we must issue a global outcry demanding that world leaders do more than make statements if they're to bring peace to this region. The UN, the European Union, the Arab League and the USA should now act together to ensure a ceasefire – which includes an end to rocket attacks into Israel and opening the checkpoints for fuel, food, medicine and other humanitarian aid deliveries.
With a new US President taking office in less than a month, a real opportunity exists to breathe new life into peace efforts. These latest hostilities require not only an immediate ceasefire but a commitment from Obama and other world leaders that resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is at the very top of their agendas. As the whole world is impacted by this ongoing conflict - we should demand nothing less.
In 2006 we mobilised for a ceasefire in Lebanon. For years we've worked to encourage a just and lasting peace, taking out billboards and ads across Israel and Palestine. Now as we head into 2009, we need to come together again to demand a peaceful and lasting resolution, instead of a further escalation of violence. Follow this link to put your name forward for peace:

All sides to the conflict will continue to act as they have in the past if they believe that the world will stand by and allow them to do so. 2009 is a year that things can be different. As we face this crisis, and the possibilities of a new year, it's time for us to demand a ceasefire and work together to finally put an end to this cycle of violence.
With hope and determination,
Brett, Ricken, Alice, Ben, Pascal, Paul, Graziela, Paula, Luis, Iain and the whole Avaaz team.

| vinod | | | Ena ene coser ki dire:"Qui seme le vent recolte la tempete."Ou bien dans nou langaz creole nou dire "Si ou zouer ek la queue lichien li capav morder".C'est ki pe arriver zordi.Si ou craser, ou touyer,les autres oussi capav craser,touyer.Et meme beaucoup plis! | | | aubvalen | | | seki pe arriver dan gaza li bien horrible. mo trouver ki ena boucoup dimoune dans le monde pe manifester pe monter zot soutien. mai ene sel zaffer mo pas komprend ? ena 300 innocents fek morts dan l'inde, manifestations pane ena. KI fer pena manifestation kan sunnite ek chit pe la guerre ? ki fer pena manifestations kan turque pe touye ban kurde? ki fer pena manifestation kan terroriste pe touye ban musulman innocents ki pe alle travail pou donne zot zenfant manzer dans l'irak.
Kan ene musulman touye ene musulman pas tan person. Kan ene non musulman touye ene musulman sa c'est ene vrai scandale. la vie tou humain sacré lor la terre pas zis la vie musulman ki sacré. et seki israel pe faire li bien pas bon . mais pas fer hypokrite pas zis zot ki kriminel dan sa lemonde la. | | | Manix | | | What a strange world. In Zimbabwe, one dictator has been killing thousands of people for decades. Our own ctizens have lost everything they had worked for all their lives. Did any muslim stand up for their compatriots? Was there any kind of "pacific walk"? now thousands are dying of cholera and the dictator is coming up with a 100 trillion dollar note (worth 1000 rupees). I obviously cannot accept war, whoever it may involve but i cannot understand this hypocrisy. All of a sudden part of the population is out of the wood. Too late, you missed the right train. | | | vinod | | | The Palestinians of Hamas never recognised the existence of the state of Israel and vowed to throw the Jews into the sea.
Now they risk being thrown into the sea themselves!!! | | | Mike | | | If I had a neighbor who doesn't recognize my right to exist, who wants my death, who educates his children in hate and who throws handgrenates into my garden:
I'd kill him first. | | | Tony | | | Kozerdomopep is totally right...
Israel has the right to protect his fellow people because of those terrortist who fired rocket on them.
| | | Sheff_man | | | The old question about who started it all has to be cleared out once and for all. And for all of you who simply imbibe what skynews or the likes,tells you, then here's a small lesson in History. The rockets were fired after Israel didnt honour its part of the truce - by blockading Gaza. The Jewish lobby doesnt stop at anything to misinform the world and propagate the false assumption that Hamas originally broke the ceasefire. It didn't. Israel broke it, first on 4 November when its bombardment killed six Palestinians in Gaza and again on 17 November when another bombardment killed four more Palestinians.
If we were talking about Israel killing combattants, that would be a different issue. But a third of the 900 that has been killed are children so far - UN OFFICIAL FIGURE. But why are we surprised? History shows us how Israel is on a playing field of its own, able to do what it wants, when it wants. Has the world forgotten the Marwahin massacre? The village whose people were ordered to flee, obeyed Israeli orders only to be attacked by an Israeli gunship. The refugees took their children and stood them around the truck in which they were travelling so that Israeli pilots would see they were innocents. Then the Israeli helicopter mowed them down at close range. Only two survived, by playing dead. Israel didn't even apologise. Similar stories resonate around Palestine and Lebanon. Chabra, Chatila, Qana... please, if you are to have an opinion, have an informed one..
| | | Bombarded | | | A mauritian petition is issued to halt war by intervening with the United Nations - deliberately to achieve peace which is a dream. This is just a show of support and in reality it is just a dream, a mirage at the horizon which is kaleidoscopic spreading colours of hope.
Nothing can halt the march of war which is in progress with the driving force the present president in whose reign wehave witnessed the carnage in history which has been unprecedented - wars on his agenda as he woke up with his mind riveted on shedding blood, an abomination which is translated in ethnic cleansing as part and parcel of his policy in office.
Israel is availing itself of the priviledge which has been bestowed to wipe out the region on which they are sordid squatters . | | | Swaleha J | | | What Israel is practicing is merely
state-sponsored terrorism, as it hides behind terms such as collateral
damage and terror. Israel might do well to look into its own
not-so-distant past and remember that it was with the help of the likes
of Irgun, Haganah, and the Stern Gang- all considered terrorist groups -
that Israel achieved its statehood. Instead of being stigmatized as
terrorists, they were absorbed into Israeli life. Irgun became the
political predecessor to Israel’s right-wing Likud party, while Haganah
became the foundation for the Israeli army. | | | Jaffar | | | Jews pocess 0.1% of the Midddle East,While Arabs(Muslims) have the rest for themselves.The jews are just trying to destabilise the region so that the get a greater share.I fully stand by the Palestinians as they are the guardians of the region.Israel is the holy land of the 3main religions and no one was given the permission to occupy it.Stop the occupation of Israel and everything will be peaceful. | | | Zapata | | | Ki to pé coz Muslim pas capav vivre en paix toi Abellia,arret zaza all apprann l'histoire Muslim avant to cozer et mo sire to voisin enn Muslim pas essaye defann lindefandable poule ki ponn ki souffert toi to divant to télé to p gett cinema peuple Palestine ki p souffert.

The most disgusting is because of rockets sent into Israel. That means UN is effective and should be dismantle immediate as anyone can justice on their own. What happens in World War I and II had not open people eyes. Instead people would have said let kill all the Germans and Japanese civilians. We are mauritians. What happens one day a group of 'tete brule' in Reunion Island send powerful rockets in Mauritius. What would we do? Go and fight again France. Or turn towrds UN. MAKE PEACE AND NOT WAR. One should never use violence to find a solution. | | | Mandouq | | | This is not the first time that israeli politicians are mustering electoral favour depending on how many defenceless palestinian refugies they can shoot at, enclosed like chickens in a "poulayer" as they are.
The elections are in february 2009, and the Israeli politicians (they are all the same) have been licking their wounds from their disastrous adventure in Lebanon. So now is the time to show off their muscles and impress on their electorate.
Shooting at chicken in an enclosed "poulayer" which is Gaza is a lot more simple than trying to subdue the eagles on the heights of Lebanon!!!
What a bunch of cowards these Israelis, and how weird to have to massacre humans of all ages and forms just to win elections!!!! And this is what we, because we are supposed to love democracy and support supposedly democrats, are meant to be defending. What an abomination! | | | khoshlen | | | oh come on people. Israel has every single right in the world to protect it's citizens. You stinking losers don't even know the real situation. Boycotting israeli products? That would mean me giving up on my favourite israeli beer. I don't think I am in a position to do that.
Second I am a big fan of Ariel Sharon and the IDF. Tell you wankers what, go and read about the IDF or better still study aboput Israel's history and you will reliase that the only thing they ever wanted was to live in peace.
SHALOM | | | Russha | | | Mwa mo byen sagrin sa ki pe arrive banne dimoune dans Gaza. Mo get tou LIVE atraver Al jazeera...Mo trouve meme dimoune pe mort kuma ariv dan lopital , ena pe dir zot last word , Mo leker fermal trouve sa banne dimoune pe mort la surtout banne enfant inoncen....

Mais , si dimer to raille ene voisin so loto et li craze to latete, to pou truv sa normal. capave sa couma ene morisien to capav compren. | | | HASSAN | | | colon anglais ti colonize 52 pays environ leten libere zot li fine quitte ene lake ferblan ek zotte pour ki zot res laguerre tou le temps alla ce pe arriver et pou arriver - palestine/ israel-inde/pakistan-moris/diego-etc 07/01/09 bonne-annee. | | | Russha From Canada | | | I still don't understand why some people consider the Palestinian Resistance for Israeli Occupation a provocative act, why don't you consider hunger and sanction in Gaza for 2 years provocative . anyway you should know in simple words that if this resistance stops for any reason there will be no Gaza anymore Israel would occupy the whole strip and all of Gaza citizens will become refugees in other countries if not killed by Israel. | | | Russha | | | As the death toll from Israel's war on Gaza continues to climb, Mohammed Ali, an advocacy and media researcher for Oxfam who lives in Gaza City, will be keeping a diary of his feelings and experiences. Are we not human? The air, the sea and the earth in Gaza City are now occupied by the Israeli military. They occupy Gazans' minds, nerves and ears too. In a bid to stop my children twitching, jerking, trembling and waking at every sound of an attack during their few hours of sleep and their many waking hours, I put cotton wool in their ears - it has not worked. I wonder what damage is being done to my children's tiny hearts. Theirs are not as big as mine, they can cope less with the stress that is being put on them. We ran out of fuel for our generator, which meant that we were confined to a small room filled with eleven people, with little light for three days. We have not had water either our well can only pump water if it has electricity which most of the Gaza Strip has been denied since this nightmare started... | | | abellia | | | Who started the war? The MUSLIMS cannot live in peace with any of their neighbors - e.g Kasmir - the Muslims were given Pakistan (which used to be part of India) and are still not satisfied. Now they want Kasmir as well. The jews tried to live in peace with these people but Hamas kept sending rockets into Israel. | | | Nitin | | | Leboss,
recapitulation. Palestine have always existed. Jewish people have always lived in Palestine. Then Jewish got chased by the romans and they fled over to europe.
then with international pressure they came back to Palestine and established the Israel state.
Now currently in Gaza strip or the new palestine if i may say, mot of the population have migrated from syria, kicked out from Egypt ( even Hamas has never been native palestinian)..
Palestinian people i would say over 80% want peace. but the remaining 20% would create havoc. Suicie bomber, anti semistism, their preaching of killing anyone who do not believe in Allah is stuffing the peace process. and who is firing rockets near a UN school and run away and at the same time leaving behind booby trap bombs to kill their own civilians and kids and blamed everything on Israel.
If Hamas stop their rocket firing and their so call Jihad, i would be the first one to sign the petition of immediate ceasefire...Muslim in the world have do their own mea-culpa.. Look at their beliefs and decide how to live in peace with other communites.
God bless
Pcefully yours
| | | Starbright | | | Hamas is a terrorist organization banned by the European Union, the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, China, Brazil etc.The palestinians who have voted a terrorist group like Hamas to govern over them are to blame for this struggle.Hamas should be crushed for good in order to allow people living in peace in both Israel and Palestine. What is happening in Gaza right now is selfdefence from Israel because the jews are very peaceful people when not prococated. | | | MrH | | | Ena dimoune dan sa la monde la pa trouve narien de mal kan ene pays p defane li mem contre terroriste couma Israel pe faire: quand 3 persons fine mort cot li, li touille pliski 300 dimoune kot so voisin. Kisanla ki vrai terroriste!!
Kan deux ou trois batiment fine craser dan so pays li besoin alle craze Iraq, Afganistan et bientot pa kone kapav Iran.
Ou kapav faire seki ou envie lor la terre mais dan tribunal Bondié pena sapé sa mo camarade!! | | | Nitin | | | It hurts me to see innocent civilian being the victim of terrorism and also being put through the fromtline to shield the Hamas terrorists. I pray that there is an immediate ceasefire. But, i can understand the state of Israel willingness to protect its citizens. You cannot expect peace if Hamas continues firing rockets at Israel and also prmotes suicide bombers to kill the citizens of Israel. The way i look at it, its a war on terror not on Palestine. Obviously like any war, civilians will die.. We should also do a petition and send it to Hamas to stop the rocket firing in Israel.
Thank you
Peacefully yours | | | Yugal | | | Who start the war ? Who cease peace process ?
who sent 85 rocket in Israel ? After you have answered these question, then we can talk peace ? | | | Sid | | | Where is UN? Why they don't take immediate steps against the terror State of israel?
It's only those who are blind that cannot see the massacres upon the innocent civilians.
let's be just in life! | | | Arsene | | | I haven't seen anybody worrying about people in Darfur. Is it old news already???
Doesn't the lifes of some nation have more value than other? When something concrete will be done for Darfur!!! Just because it doesn' t make headlines anymore does not mean everything is just peachy there!!! | | | leboss | | | Li pas possible ki KOZERDOMOPEP pas conne vrai situation de Gaza. Est ki to conne ki Gaza c'est en prison pour 1.5m habitants, tout est sous controle Israelien - peuple la pena liberte. Bizin avoye toi lor baz pou to conne ki souffrance ca peuple la pe traverse depuis 8 ans, et pas fini depuis 60 ans israelien fin mette zotte dehors de zotte la terre. Alle guette en carte Palestine avant 1918 et maintenant pour to ouvert to lizie tang! | | | kozerdomopep | | | Mo pa trouve narien de mal kan ene pays p protez so bane citizen contre bane attack rocket. li pas kapav croise les bras asizer kuma l'inde p fer actuellement | |
