Stop Arming Israel Sanctions Now

Tell Andy Burnham: Stop Arming Israel! National March for Palestine, Saturday 26 September

The Labour Party Conference returns to Liverpool this September and CND will be there to keep up the pressure on Andy Burnham to end Britain’s nuclear expansion and military spending hikes – and to give justice to the nuclear testing veterans.

We’ll also be marching with the Palestine Coalition in Liverpool on the eve of conference.

The situation for those living in Gaza, West Bank, and wider region remains increasingly serious. Ahead of Israeli elections in October, there has been an escalation in violent settler attacks on Palestinian homes and villages as the Israeli government continues to approve funding for more settlement expansion on Palestinian land, illegal under international law. Benjamin Netanyahu continues to flaunt Israel’s obligations agreed in last October’s ceasefire deal, refusing to withdraw troops from Gaza. Meanwhile, the Lebanese government has said that at least 4,348 people have been killed by Israeli troops in the country since March after the start of joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran.

As Andy Burnham prepares for his first party conference as Labour leader and Prime Minister, it’s vital that we keep up the pressure on the government to end arms sales to and imposing sanctions on nuclear-armed Israel. Save the date and join us marching for Palestine in Liverpool.
