We need you to lobby your MP to ask them to put forward an Early Day Motion calling for an immediate end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza strip, particularly on this forty year anniversary of occupation. We need to motivate this Government into putting pressure on Israel to leave the Palestinian territories so that the Palestinian people can begin to rebuild their lives and move towards creating a viable state of their own. Furthermore there are numerous EDMs currently relating to Palestine which need to have the support of your MP: which calls for the recommence of ‘…direct aid to the Palestinian Authority, that the Israeli government release the Palestinian tax and customs revenues it is withholding and that diplomatic efforts be intensified to ensure an ongoing ceasefire and political dialogue.’ which calls for the ‘…UK Government to apply political pressure to Israel to end its decades-long practice of arbitrary arrests and detention, in particular of democratically elected parliamentarians.’ which …‘urges the Government to insist that no upgrading of Israel's relations with the EU be considered until the Israeli government has brought itself into full compliance with international law, including the permanent lifting of all barriers to freedom of movement for Palestinian goods, people and capital.’ Write to your MP today asking them to propose an EDM marking the 40th anniversary of the occupation with a renewed call for Israel to end its brutal occupation. Also ensure that they sign the Palestine related EDMs above. Click here to email your MP directly.           Readers have left 10 comments.

Do you wonder why you don't have any muslims commenting on these articles related to the upcoming anniversary...
It's because they don't truly care and are inactive in defending Palestinian rights. Long Live Israel.

Oh Brother John,
you got one point correct in your comment, ' the muslims are inactive in defending the palestinian's rights'. Simply us Muslims are not doing enough, we should be getting more proactive and organised and use our political voice and campaigning zeal to alert the british public about the oppression being meted out on the Palestinian people by the illegal israeli occupying force. I am concearned when I read you making statements like 'Long live Israel', this shows your ignorance on the matter. As a british resident, you should be side by side with the muslims/non-muslims who are calling for an end to the oppression of the palestinian people. I pray that you recieve guidance, and stand up for the opressed.

Why should John "be side by side with the muslims/non-muslims who are calling for an end to the oppression of the palestinian people"? Perhaps he disagrees with them. Perhaps he prefers to stand side by side with the people of Israel, a country whose existence is constantly threatened by its neighbours, as well as by terrorists. I sense an inability to accept that you may be wrong and someone else right.

To Jack,
Wow, I love the way you have twisted the truth there. You have made the oppressers look like victims and the victims look like oppressers. Bravo!! Answer me a few questions mate! Whose country is being occupied? Whose homes are being bulldozed? Whose kids are being shot dead by snipers on their way to school? Whose giving birth to children on checkpoints because they can't get to hospitals because of restictions of movement? Whose got the latest weapons that can kill maximum numbers of people with a single strike? And who is in breach of 62 UN Resolutions? I could go on but I don't have enough room to list the injustices. If you think Israel is the victim then by your analogy Mike Tyson is a victim in fight with Michael Jackson. OPEN YOUR EYES MATE!!

:) Israel exists by "divine right" and that the Koran clearly states that God granted the Land of Israel to the Children of Israel and ordered them to settle there. In addition, it is predicted that before the end of days, God will bring the Children of Israel to retake possession of the Land, gathering them from the different countries and nations.
ALLAH IS GREAT!! LONG LIVE ISRAEL!!

when nobody wanted the isreali our majority palistenian brothers and sisters said come we welcome you, but ofcourse the good from the palistenians is never considered or utterred nor the reality of things such as whos land is it anyway?(lol)- what we really need is common ground countries like britain should be a role model for our brothers to learn at least tolerence which has existed and always will in the british community as the majority will always want good relations with eachother, i think we all have so much to offer each other thats why god has given each country certain riches to which we should all share to promote greater understanding unifying one nation with one belief to releive humanity of this curruption and oppression.
