The Israeli government carries on a systematic discrimination of Palestinians, a destruction of Palestinian living space, a total economical oppression of Palestinians and a restricting occupation of the Westbank as well as a blockade of the Gaza strip.

The Oslo Agreements and its non-compliance shows Israel's unreadiness to conceede the Palestinians their rights.

Now Israel is bombing totally unprotected civilians in Gaza (for the third time during the last 6 years) which is a violence of international law.

Radical thoughts can't be wiped out by violence and discrimination but by equality and respect. Israel's way to destroy the Palestinian's future creates a space of hopelessness and an ambience in which religion and resistance are the only anchor of hope.

The world (including political responsibles) should open its eyes. Don't shuffle out of responsibility! After all negotiations we have learned that israel doesn't understand the language of negotiations. It's our duty to rise our voice for the palestinian people, to guarantee them a human dignity, and to force Israel urgently to change its behaviour.

The European Union is able to put a huge economic pressure on Israel and should prove now that the "Human Rights" are not just an empty phrase.

We ask for a total economic embargoe against Israel to enforce a change in Israel's policy.

Enough is enough. The images coming out of Gaza are heart breaking and we cant just sit by and watch while people are being crushed like this.

FINALLY. Stop funding this stuff and put some real pressure on them. It is honestly pathetic how the EU acts like it cares about rights but ignores this.
