We invite the world's conscientious journalists, business people and prominent people to stop the brutality that western media organizations are competing to legitimize. We invite all humanity to boycott Israeli products and brands that are known to directly or indirectly support this crime against humanity. We invite all countries of the world to take a common stance against these unconscionable attacks and to call for an immediate ceasefire and lasting peace.
