初日で、１２６０００人集まっています。署名はいったん２０万に達した時点で国連と世界の指導者に送られます。すでに３０万人を突破していますが、引き続き受け付けています。
…そう書いているそばから、刻々と爆発的に増え続けています。

署名して、友人知人のみなさんにご転送ください。

ネットでの意思表示はその簡便さゆえに安直で、どこまで重きが置かれるのか分かりませんが、それでも、今、できることのすべてをしたいと思います。１００万、２００万、１０００万、集まったら、無視できない力になるのではないかと思います。

それとあわせて、日本の中でも、行動を起こしていくことが必要です。

以下、請願の日本語訳です。

ガザ：襲撃について調査し、封鎖を終わらせてください

ガザ人道船団に対するイスラエルの殺人的襲撃は世界じゅうの怒りを招いています。
今回、私たちは、私たちの指導者の口先だけの言葉を受け容れることはできません。

Subject: Gaza aid attack

Dear friends, The world is reeling from Israel’s assault on an aid flotilla trying to reach Gaza. It’s time for a full investigation to begin — and for the siege of Gaza to end. Sign the worldwide petition, then forward this message:

Israel’s deadly raid on a flotilla of aid ships headed for Gaza has shocked the world.

Israel, like any other state, has the right to self-defence, but this was an outrageous use of lethal force to defend an outrageous and lethal policy — Israel’s blockade of Gaza, where two thirds of families don’t know where they’ll find their next meal.

The UN, EU, and nearly every other government and multilateral organization have called on Israel to lift the blockade and, now, launch a full investigation of the flotilla raid. But without massive pressure from their citizens, world leaders might limit their response to mere words — as they have so many times before.

Let’s make the world’s outcry too loud to ignore. Join the petition for an independent investigation into the raid, accountability for those responsible, and an immediate end to the blockade in Gaza — click to sign the petition, and then forward this message to everyone:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/gaza_flotilla_1/?vl

The petition will be delivered to the UN and world leaders, as soon as it reaches 200,000 names — and again at every opportunity as it grows and leaders choose their responses. A massive petition at a moment of crisis like this one can demonstrate to those in power that sound bites and press releases aren’t enough — that citizens are paying attention and demanding action.

As the EU decides whether to expand its special trade relationship with Israel, as Obama and the US Congress set next year’s budget for Israeli
military aid, and as neighbours like Turkey and Egypt decide their next diplomatic steps — let’s make the world’s voice unignorable: it’s time for
truth and accountability on the flotilla raid, and it’s time for Israel to comply with international law and end the siege of Gaza. Sign now and pass this message along:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/gaza_flotilla_1/?vl

Most people everywhere still share the same dream: for two free and viable states, Israel and Palestine, to live side by side. But the blockade, and the violence used to defend it, poisons that dream. As a columnist wrote to his fellow Israelis today in the newspaper Ha’aretz, “We are no longer defending Israel. We are now defending the siege. The siege itself is becoming Israel’s Vietnam.”

Thousands of pro-peace activists in Israel today protested the raid and the blockade in demonstrations from Haifa, to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem — joining demonstrations around the world. Regardless of which side threw the first punch or fired the first shot (the Israeli military claims it did not initiate the violence), Israel’s leaders sent helicopters of armed storm-troopers to raid a convoy of ships in international waters bringing
medicine and supplies to Gaza, and some now lay dead.

Their lives cannot be brought back. But perhaps, together, we can make this dark moment a turning point — if we arise with an unshakable call for justice, and an unbreakable dream of peace.

With hope,

Ricken, Alice, Raluca, Paul, Iain, Graziela and the rest of the Avaaz team
