Lobby your MP to demand justice for Palestinians

The people of Palestine are being collectively punished. In the West Bank residents have seen the construction of a Separation Wall that cuts them off from their land, which is rapidly being absorbed into encroaching settlements. The Gaza Strip is under siege, deepening a humanitarian crisis and throwing the population further into poverty. Despite this injustice, the British government has turned a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people. To mark the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, War on Want and human rights NGOs across the UK will lobby members of Parliament on behalf of Palestinians. Our lobbying efforts will focus on a number of critical issues, including: the Occupation of Palestine; the blockade of Gaza; the development of Israeli settlements; and EU-Israel trade agreements.

Lobbying Your MP

You can take part in this important day of organised advocacy by arranging to meet with your MP. Lobbying your MP is a powerful and effective way to make your voice heard. It’s also easy – simply contact the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign by phone at 020 77006192 or by email We are busy finalising a lobby briefing for participants. In the meantime, you can review last year's briefing, which covers many of the same topics.

The lobby is being organised by the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, the Council for Arab-British Understanding and Jews for Justice for Palestinians and is supported by War on Want.
