What the petition asks

Israel has a track record of committing atrocities over the Gaza strip, this includes the use of cancer inducing DIME bombs and flechette shells and the dumping of white phosphorus. Israel has wilfully ignored concerns from the EU as demonstrated by their planned demolition of Susya.
