As the Apartheid state of Israel attacks the civilian population of Lebanon, Muslims once again are running around like headless chickens. As usual there are calls for “marches” and “donating money” to charities for humanitarian causes. Some groups point to these things as the primary need of the time. But stop and think for a second. Those bombs were made in the USA with components from Britain. Britain gave 150 new export licences for weaponry to Israel, exporting twice as many weapons as it did in 2004. Now think more deeply oh Muslims, both Britain and America, Israel’s most powerful allies, refused to demand Israel stop its war crimes against the Lebanese people. In short, these countries were the only countries that could have forced Israel to stop, but instead of a firm voice in support of the victims they gave the victimiser the green light. The reason they did this is not hard to unearth. Both countries have significant pro Israeli communities who have created powerful lobbies to push Israel’s agenda. They have worked for years to gain influence in the corridors of power. Muslims have always slept until the crisis was upon them and then complained that the Government’s movers and shakers were not listening. Unlike the pro Israeli lobby no long term planning was ever done. MPACUK was created to counter these powerful lobbies, and give us some influence to turn around and push back against a one sided foreign policy. We at MPACUK would like to ask you a simple question. If you could choose one of the following, which would it be...? Would you a) fund a hospital in Lebanon so that the children can receive medical aid for the wounds the bombs have inflicted upon them, or, b) stop the bombs falling in the first place...? Only a political lobby powerful and well funded enough to counter the pro Israeli political machine in the west can stop the bombs. The logic could not be simpler. Instead of donating to short-term measures, only to allow Israel to attack and kill these people every few years, donate now to MPACUK to stop the governments in the west being influenced by pro Israeli lobbyists and instead hear two sides of the story. With your generous contribution, we can mobolise a more intelligent way of helping those who suffer in Lebanon and elsewhere even. The Israeli lobbyists work with millions of pounds and hundreds of volunteers - we need your help to match them move for move. Please support the only thing that can bring justice to the Palestinians and the Lebanese – not hospitals – but a political counter lobby that will ensure those hospitals are never filled with the bodies of children crippled by bombs sold by the west thanks to pressure from pro Israeli lobbyists. MPACUK is currently trying to lobby over 30 members of Parliament and has been approached by Muslims from 14 areas to help them campaign to unseat MP's who have been silent or supported Israel in this crisis. Each campaign costs £7000 - £10,000+ pounds each, but would force the most powerful men in Britain to take us seriously. Do not forget we have been successful in our campaings in the past, and are the only Muslim group in Europe to have defeated a member of Government based on their pro Israeli stand. We have a track record second to none in achieving our results. Let them know you will not be silent and you will no let these people die in vain. Fund MPACUK today. Change foreign policy tomorrow. Donations from £5 upwards welcome. Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day ask thee for no exemption from fighting with their goods and persons. And Allah knoweth well those who do their duty. [Al-Quran, 9:44]

I do not agree with all the above. US & UK governments are racists and that is the bottom line.
Yes there are laws but try using these laws and see how far it will take you without massive funds. Be that as it may, my donationation are and have been sent. If I can help in any other way please do let me know.

I think MPACUK are doing a great job and are the only lobbying body who seem to do anything, I agree you have to part of the system to change anything. Hoping someone else will do it has led to our current state.
There are many intellectual muslims in our communities, we need to stop hiding and be involved in changing our communtiies by highlighting the importance of education. Stop poor reps using local councils to line their own pockets, but elect individuals who will truely represent muslims. Get more involved in the local mosque to have a true centre of excellance that will encourage our children to do well in education and Islamic knowledge. The muslim community is at it's lowest at the moment and the current status says it all. We need to wake up or our children will suffer in the future as are the children of the true muslims in Palastine.
