We, Israeli civilians living along the border with Gaza, civilians in Gaza and citizens from all around the world call to end the violence!
Every few weeks violence across the Gaza/Israel border surges. Israel air raids in Gaza, kill and injure innocent civilians, and rockets fired from Gaza into civilian populations in Israel, cause trauma, chaos and physical harm.

We have lived through this long enough, and will no longer sit by quietly.

We are people on both sides of the border who deserve the right to live normal lives. That’s it!

We call upon the Israeli and Hamas governments to end this violence once and for all. Find the ways to sit down and talk, end the attacks and the siege on Gaza, and stop playing with our lives.

    Dear petition signers!
    Today a cease fire agreement has been reached between Israel and the Hamas. The agreement was facilitated by Egypt, the UN, the USA and several other countries.

    Israel has agreed to end all hostilities and targeted killings, while Hamas will stop attacks against Israel and along the border.
    The agreement ends an 8 day surge of violence that resulted in over 150 deaths, hundreds of injuries, destruction of homes and facilities, devastation and trauma to millions.

    The agreement ends an 8 day surge of violence that resulted in over 150 deaths, hundreds of injuries, destruction of homes and facilities, devastation and trauma to millions.

    We are yet to see if the agreement holds, however we deeply hope it will and end the senseless cycle of violence that has caused so much suffering.
    Hopefully the sides will soon reach better understanding that will end the siege on Gaza and provide security and prosperity to all people of this battered region.

    Thank you so much for your support! Your voice together with almost a quarter of a million other voices has been heard loudly.

  2. Update #6

    Posted by Eric Yellin (Campaign Leader) on Nov 19, 2012

    We have reached well over 100,000 signatures!! But the war is still raging.

    In the end there will be a cease fire.
    But how many will die by then? How many orphans, widows and widowers?
    How many will be wounded, maimed, paralyzed?
    How many will be traumatized, heartbroken, homeless?
    In the end there will be a cease fire.
    FOR MANY IT WILL BE TO LATE…

    STOP THE FIGHTING, START TALKING NOW!!!

    Please keep inviting more people to sign. Our voice is being heard but we need to be even louder!

  3. Update #5

    Posted by Eric Yellin (Campaign Leader) on Nov 17, 2012

    We have reached 50,000 signatures!

    However the madness continues as the death toll rises and is now over 50. Many dozens are injured while bombing and rockets continue to terrorize Gazan and Israeli civilians.
    Leaders on neither side are seriously considering a cease fire which means more pain and suffering for the civilians.
    It is time for both sides to cease the hostilities and talk!
    STOP FIGHTING START TALKING NOW!!!

  4. Update #4

    Posted by Eric Yellin (Campaign Leader) on Nov 15, 2012

    19 people in Gaza and 3 in Israel have been killed in the past 2 days and many dozens injured, mostly civilians.

    Israeli war planes bomb Gaza continuously while rockets from Gaza are hitting half way across Israel targeting towns nonstop. Leaders on both sides are intensifying the threats and actions with no sign of ceasefire in the horizon.

    Civilians of both sides keep paying the toll, losing lives and hope!

    Israel and Gaza are on verge of a war.
    The instability of the last few days has erupted yesterday in the killing of Hamas military chief Ahmed Al-Jaabari, followed by bombings throughout Gaza, killing 10 people of which 3 were children. In response dozens of rockets from Gaza have been targeting civilians in Israel causing trauma and fear.
    2.7 million people in Gaza and Israel are in the range of these insane attacks.

  6. Update #2

    Posted by Eric Yellin (Campaign Leader) on Nov 10, 2012

    The news from the Israel/Gaza border is very bad.
    Clashes from both sides have intensified and are reached a new recent high.
    2 Days ago Hamid Younis Abu Daqqa, a 13 year old from Gaza, living half a kilometer from the clashes was killed.
    Today we hear of ongoing clashes which have caused injuries and maybe more death of Palestinians and Israelis.
    This escalation will undoubtedly lead to more death and pain.

    We have reached well over 5000 signatures. However our voices need to be heard even...
