The Sheffield Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid and Palestine Solidarity Campaign has launched a petition calling on the Sheffield City Council to “Stand with Palestine ” (declare Sheffield an Apartheid Free City, support the genocide proceedings at the ICJ) https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/sheffield-council-stand-with-palestine/. It is also being supported by the Green Party.
The people of Gaza have been under barbaric genocidal attacks for weeks. Over 30,000 people have been killed – 11,000 of them are children. Yet still there is no ceasefire.
In the West Bank, Palestinians continue to be forcibly removed from their homes and face daily threats from settlers and the military. Over 7,000 Palestinians are detained in Israeli jails, without charge or trial.
It’s time for Sheffield City Council to show leadership once more. We call on Sheffield City Council to declare our city an Israeli Apartheid-free zone and to issue a statement of solidarity with Palestinian people.
Please sign the petition, but also make sure you circulate it to all your networks, friends and family. We need lots of people signing as soon as we can to pass the 5000 threshold on time.
Please DO NOT sign more than once, and don’t sign online if you have already signed a paper copy.
Thanks for your support!
