Hi,
<br />
<br />I've just heard about this emergency campaign urging for an immediate ceasefire \
in Gaza. Already 280 people have been killed in this escalating conflict. Now is the \
time to issue a demand to world leaders that the spiraling violence that has \
characterized the Israeli−Palestinian conflict must come to an end. In 2009 \
let's push for real peace to be achieved between Israel and Palestine. To learn more \
and to take action, read the email below: <br />

<br />Dear friends,
<br />
<br />As we watch the Gaza bloodshed with horror, appalled at how the crisis is \
spiraling further out of control, one thing is clear −− this violence \
will only lead to further civilian suffering and an escalation of the conflict. <br \
/> <br />There must be another way. Over 280 are dead and hundreds more injured \
−− rockets are striking Ashdod deep inside Israel for the very first \
time, and the sides are mobilising for invasion. A global response has begun, but \
it'll take more than words −− the immediate violence won't end, nor will \
wider peace be secured, without firm action from the international community. <br />
<br />Today, we're launching an emergency campaign which will be delivered to the UN \
Security Council and key world powers, urging them to act to ensure an immediate \
ceasefire, address the growing humanitarian crisis, and take steps to build real and \
lasting peace.1 Follow this link now to sign the emergency petition and send it to \
everyone you know: <br />

<br />
<br />After eight or more years of ineffective US and global diplomacy −− \
and now Gaza's bloodiest day in recent memory −− we must issue a global \
outcry demanding that world leaders do more than make statements if they're to bring \
peace to this region. The UN, the European Union, the Arab League and the USA should \
now act together to ensure a ceasefire – which includes an end to rocket attacks \
into Israel and opening the checkpoints for fuel, food, medicine and other \
humanitarian aid deliveries. <br />
<br />With a new US President taking office in less than a month, a real opportunity \
exists to breathe new life into peace efforts. These latest hostilities require not \
only an immediate ceasefire but a commitment from Obama and other world leaders that \
resolution of the Israeli−Palestinian conflict is at the very top of their \
agendas. As the whole world is impacted by this ongoing conflict − we should \
demand nothing less. <br />
<br />In 2006 we mobilised for a ceasefire in Lebanon. For years we've worked to \
encourage a just and lasting peace, taking out billboards and ads across Israel and \
Palestine. Now as we head into 2009, we need to come together again to demand a \
peaceful and lasting resolution, instead of a further escalation of violence. Follow \
this link to put your name forward for peace: <br />

<br />
<br />All sides to the conflict will continue to act as they have in the past if they \
believe that the world will stand by and allow them to do so. 2009 is a year that \
things can be different. As we face this crisis, and the possibilities of a new year, \
it's time for us to demand a ceasefire and work together to finally put an end to \
this cycle of violence. <br />
<br />With hope and determination,
<br />
<br />Brett, Ricken, Alice, Ben, Pascal, Paul, Graziela, Paula, Luis, Iain and the \
whole Avaaz team<br /> <br />
