Boycott from Within has sent the following letter to the United
Nations Office of the Special Adviser on the Prevention of
Genocide.

We encourage others to do the same at:

Dear Madame/Sir,

We are citizens of Israel who oppose our government's policies of
colonialism, occupation and apartheid against the Palestinian
people and its actions which may amount to genocide.

We write to you following thirteen days of an ongoing massacre,
which is being perpetrated by Israel in the besieged Gaza Strip.

As the death toll is rising, it now stands at 400 casualties and 3100
injured.

The UN has declared, via UNICEF, that over a third of the victims
are children.

As you well know, this massacre was preceded by a month of
massive Israeli violence and political persecution in the occupied
West Bank, including the arrest of hundreds of so-called "Hamas-
affiliated" men and boys. Meanwhile, Israeli mobs run wild in the
streets of our cities, shouting the chilling “Death to the Arabs”
chants (as well as "Death to the Leftists").

You cannot ignore the fact, especially during this UN-declared
“year of solidarity with the Palestinian people”, that two similar
massacres have already been perpetrated by Israel in the short span
of six years; that Gaza suffocates under Israel’s hermetic siege;
that Israel has been perpetrating an ongoing ethnic cleansing
against the indigenous people of Palestine since 1948 and up to this
day; and that Israel believes it may exterminate hundreds of
Palestinians in Gaza every two years and do so with full impunity.

The UN states that “Where genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing
and crimes against humanity do occur, the International Criminal
Court, which is separate and independent from the UN, is
empowered to investigate and prosecute those most responsible if
a state is unwilling or unable to exercise jurisdiction over alleged
perpetrators.”

Israel is well beyond the point of prevention and we, its
privileged citizens, are hereby charging it with genocide.

We demand that your office will do everything in its power
to halt Israeli genocide as it is taking place.

We demand that you take immediate action to prevent Israel’s
genocide against the Palestinian people.

We will be following your conduct on this matter.

Sincerely,

BOYCOTT! Supporting the Palestinian BDS Call from Within
