(August 29, 2026) — Right now in the West Bank, armed Israeli settlers are tearing down walls and besieging Palestinian families in their own homes. Dozens of people have been killed, including young children, and families are living in constant terror.

But we have a real chance to intervene.

Behind closed doors, the UK government is preparing to announce new policies that could ban goods from these illegal settlements and halt deadly F-35 arms exports.

But the pro-Israel lobby has deep pockets and close ties with Westminster, and will use both to derail Burnham’s ban. A massive public petition right now will give Prime Minister Andy Burnham the political cover he needs to withstand lobbyist pressure and make this historic ban a reality.

Tell Prime Minister Andy Burnham: Ban illegal settlement goods and halt all arms exports to Israel now!

The Daily Reality for Palestinians Is Devastating

In villages like Qusra, extremist settlers are openly trying to empty the area of its residents. The military frequently raids neighborhoods at night to destroy property, while the Israeli government pours hundreds of millions of dollars into expanding illegal settlements.

The UK is enabling these abuses as long as it allows trade with these illegal settlements and sends weapons to the Israeli military. A staggering 87% of Labour Party members want to ban trade with illegal settlements, and 78% want to suspend arms exports. Yet lobby groups are desperately trying to convince the government that a boycott is somehow impossible.

We know the truth, and we have to speak up louder than the lobbyists. If enough of us sign the petition today, we can give the Prime Minister the political backing he needs to finally stop enabling these atrocities.
ACTION: Add your name to demand a full UK ban on
illegal settlement goods and F-35 arms exports now!

Thanks for all that you do,
