Holocaust

Dear friends,

I am sure you all would have watched Hotel Rwanda, showing the genocide that unfolded. If you haven't then you would have probably read about it, either way you saw the cruel and bloody side of humanity. you probably wished you could have done something about it even in your own locality. The time has passed. However,

There is a genocide that's happening right in front of our eyes now! you can act now!! do your bit for humanity's sake! show solidarity for the innocent people who are dying.

If you have not been up to date with the massacre that's unfolding then read the articles by clicking the following links.

'Yes I know it sad what's happening, but what can I do??' if this is what your thinking, there is a lot you can do from your own locality. A few points on that, obviously you can do more!

Donate Now and continuous Commitment

There are many organisations who have active bases in Gaza, donate some money to make sure the hospitals have sufficient supplies. Make a continued commitment, make a monthly donation to ensure you help these families rebuild.

Protest

There has been many demonstrations all over the world, join one of them or start one and show that you will not stay silent witnessing these war crimes, crimes against humanity!

Create Awareness

Start talking to people, make them aware of the crisis that's unfolding. if you are good at writing then start writing to the newspapers, whether it be the school, local or the national one.

Boycott

I know this is going to be hard, but trust me there are alternatives, so start boycotting brands that directly support the militarisation of Israel and then use them to kill innocent human beings.

A list of brands can be found here, This is a very effective way of showing solidarity and sending a message to the western leaders about what people around the world think! http://www.inminds.co.uk/boycott-brands.html

Pray

pray for those children and families who have lost their loved ones. Pray to end this violence!

& get others involved

Pass this message and be active and ensure others do their bit as well.
