An International Petition to be submitted to Ban Ki-moon the General Secretary of the United Nations and all members of the Nations on behalf of the worlds citizens to stop the Gaza Massacre We the undersigned citizens of many nations herby demand that you Ban Ki-moon, the Secretary General of the United Nations and all members of the nations take certain elementary actions in regards to the brutal and inhumane massacre that is happening in Gaza today. Is it not enough that the people of Gaza have been caged in since 2007, suffering extreme hardship and the movement of people is blocked by the Israeli authorities but are now subjected to collective punishment. This is not a conflict among two equal forces. It is hard to imagine the pain of the children, living in daily fear and the suffering of people to both physical and mental abuse. As the Secretary General of the United Nations you know what Israel is doing is a breach of the Geneva Conventions and it is your priority to deliver humanitarian assistance and help bring justice to those discriminated against and as you stated in your opening remarks at end of year press conference in New York 17 December 2008 “In the realm of human rights, we speak of the responsibility to protect”, or the people of Gaza are not humans and have no rights It is clear that the suffering inflicted on Palestinian civilians in Gaza did not and cannot solve the issues which have taken place for 60 years. The only solution is a complete ceasefire and an end to all armed attacks on Palestinians and also opening of all borders to be able to send all the essential nutritional and medical aids to the people under siege. We regard such actions as an entirely sensible, achievable and desirable act, which would save lives, alleviate suffering and create better conditions for any attempt to achieve peace among the Palestinian and Israeli people. However, no lasting solution is possible while Palestine continue to remain under occupation.

The numbers are creeping up and I can barely keep my eyes off the screen because the thought of this hitting one thousand feels like it might actually force them to pay attention for once. Please keep pushing this out into the world because if we stall now we might lose the only chance we have to be seen by the people in charge.

I honestly never thought this would gain so much speed and honestly it is kind of overwhelming to see so many people caring about these families when it felt so quiet at the beginning. My phone has not stopped buzzing for hours and I am just sitting here staring at the screen because I really did not expect this level of response when I first hit publish.

I keep refreshing the page and seeing the tally tick upward which is honestly kind of surreal. Can you guys just blast the link out to your group chats or anyone who might actually care right now because we are right on the edge of hitting that first real milestone and I really need us to cross it quickly.

its heartbreaking to see what is happening to families there. please stop the war.
How can the world just watch this happen. My heart breaks for all the poor kids in Gaza right now.
This is total madness. Why is nobody doing anything to help these civilians. The suffering is way too much.
Enough is enough. The bombing needs to end today.
STOP THE VIOLENCE NOW. THOSE PEOPLE ARE JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE.

Stop the killing and maiming of innocent civilians - many of whom are children - in Gaza.
