Subject: Urgent Call for Action: Support an International Coalition to Stop Israel’s Genocide in Gaza
Dear [MP's Name],
I am writing to urge you, as my elected representative, to support the formation of an international coalition of states committed to taking decisive military action to protect the Palestinian people from Israel’s ongoing genocide.
Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza has resulted in the mass killing of civilians, the deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure, and the forced displacement of over a million people. The International Court of Justice has found it “plausible” that Israel is committing genocide—and yet, meaningful international action to stop these atrocities has not been taken.
We cannot wait for the UN Security Council to act, as it remains paralyzed by political vetoes. States have a moral and legal obligation to act outside the Security Council when the Council fails to prevent genocide.
A coalition of willing states must be established to apply all necessary pressure—including military means —to stop the slaughter and ensure the protection of Palestinians. Anything less makes us complicit in the continuation of these crimes.
The government's silence and inaction are a betrayal of the very principles we claim to uphold: human rights, international law, and the prevention of genocide. I urge you to speak out in Parliament and support immediate efforts to form a coalition to protect Palestinian lives.
We therefore urge you to use your authority as a parliamentarian to collaborate with other parliamentarians, governments and stakeholders worldwide to establish a military force to stop the genocide, protect civilians, ensure unhindered aid guarantee the Palestinian right to self-determination in accordance with established principes of international law.
Yours sincerely,
