What the petition asks
The UK introduced sanctions against Russia within hours of its invasion of Ukraine. Yet the Government has failed to do the same against Israel which has been occupying Palestinian land for years. Why has the UK Government not introduced sanctions against Israel?
The UK Government needs to introduce sanctions against Israel, instead of failed attempts at peace negotiations while innocent civilians are made homeless and/or killed.
Sanctions could help stop the occupation of Palestine, and it is hypocritical to bring in sanctions against Russia but not Israel.
