The arms trade and Israel's attack on Gaza - International Appeal

An appeal by Nobel Peace laureates, intellectuals, diplomats, artists and jurists to "implement a comprehensive and legally binding military embargo on Israel, similar to that imposed on South Africa during apartheid".

Israel has once again unleashed the full force of its military against the captive Palestinian population, particularly in the besieged Gaza Strip, in an inhumane and illegal act of military aggression. Israel's ability to launch such devastating attacks with impunity largely stems from the vast international military cooperation and trade that it maintains with complicit governments across the world. Over the period 2008-19, the US is set to provide military aid to Israel worth $30bn, while Israeli annual military exports to the world have reached billions of dollars.
