Last month, Spain banned two ships laden with deadly weapons for Israel from docking at its ports—a direct action to stop the bloodshed in Gaza and support global calls for an arms embargo.
While Spain acts for Palestinian freedom—the U.S. has retaliated, threatening sanctions against Spain.
Act now–email Spanish leaders! Applaud their courage and urge them to resist U.S. bullying by enforcing a systematic policy of ship inspections to impose a comprehensive military embargo on Israel.
Spain has the chance to spearhead a global movement, halting the weapons transfers used to annihilate entire Palestinian families. Spain’s fight can inspire other countries to take similar steps to stop the deadliest assault on Palestinian lives.
Here are some tips - remember the more personal, the better:
- Express gratitude: Thank Spanish leaders for their decisive action in halting arms shipments, directly confronting the ongoing violence in Gaza.
- Call for further action: Urge Spain to deepen their commitment to justice by 1) implementing an inspection protocol and 2) imposing a comprehensive military embargo.
- Personalize your message: Share your personal connection or reasons for supporting Palestinian freedom.
- Denounce U.S. intimidation: Condemn the U.S. for its coercive tactics that undermine international law. Implementing a rigorous inspection protocol to maintain and enforce the embargo across all ports.
