TAKING ACTION, YOGA

Open Letter to UK Government concerning Gaza

Writing

If, like me, you are concerned about what is unfolding in Gaza, please consider contacting your MP  to take action.

Below is an open letter to the UK government. In the letter I ask three things:

  1. To acknowledge that Israel’s warfare methods in Gaza are consistent with genocide.
  2. To exert diplomatic pressure on Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza through the complete suspension of military supplies.
  3. To recognise Palestine as a State, as a matter of urgency.
This letter in no way condones the actions of Hamas on 7th October 2023. However, in yoga there is the principle of ahimsa, or non-harming, either by action or inaction. The events unfolding in Gaza today should not be ignored.

***

Please feel free to use this letter as a guide or template to contact your MP regarding the current events in Gaza.
