Dear All,
Please sign our petition against Palestinian hate education and indoctrination
As the next stage in our campaign against Palestinian hate education and indoctrination, we are asking you to sign this petition and to forward this email and encourage your friends and family to sign the petition too:
http://www.webelieveinisrael.org.uk/petition/uks-role-major-donor-palestinian-authority/
It reads:
“We, the undersigned, call on the Foreign Secretary and International Development Secretary to use the UK’s role as a major donor to the Palestinian Authority (directly, through aid programmes and through the EU) to put pressure on the PA to take action to stop incitement of hatred and violence towards Israel and Jews, particularly through official Palestinian channels of communication and education.
We condemn the promotion of a culture of hate, terror and non-acceptance of Israelis and Jews in Palestinian society, particularly the indoctrination of children, rightly described by Hillary Clinton as “child abuse”.
We believe that ending this culture of hatred is a vital step towards a lasting peace in the Middle East.
We want to see our UK funding support for the Palestinian Authority doing good not bad, and spent in a way that is pro-peace, pro-development and pro-education.”
Please circulate it as widely as you can by forwarding this email and posting the link on Facebook, Twitter, blogs and websites:
http://www.webelieveinisrael.org.uk/petition/uks-role-major-donor-palestinian-authority/
We would like to submit it to the UK Government at the end of February, so we want to collect thousands of signatures in the next month.
You can see that this is an issue of international concern from this article last week by former Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler: http://www.timesofisrael.com/pa-state-sponsored-hate-speech-must-stop-human-rights-expert-says/
As well as signing the petition, if you haven’t already written to your MP about this issue, there is still time to do so.
If you have already sent a letter to your MP on this but not told me, can you let me know who you have written to?
If not, here is a link to last week’s call to action and model letter -http://eepurl.com/LT2hL. Again please let me know which MP you are writing to.
You can reply to this email or to my main account, luke@webelieveinisrael.org.uk.
