Let’s not talk much more about the exact wording etc, I think the statement is more than good enough, Thank you Paul. Just release it…as we more than suspect just in itself it probably won’t cause a ripple but better that it’s out there. There’s also more local protests to join and donations to MAP

Yes, Wendy, I absolutely agree.
Here is a possible statement we might work on as a list (quickly). It is based on statements issued by other orgs - a statement in the Guardian (friday) and a statement made by the Right to Education Campaign). If we agree something like this, I suggest we send it to No.10, the Foreign Office, various organisations working in the Gaza Strip and to national and international orgs of CP's (see if we can attempt a global CP voice on this one to replace the CPUK in teh statement with CP's of the world! )

Subject: [COMMUNITYPSYCHUK] The War in Gaza
Hello all.
The list has been silent about the war in Gaza. It feels hard to know what to say, and the killing continues.
I'm horrified by the news every day. I've done little things like writing letters with the Amnesty and Avaaz campaigns, tried to attend a local demonstration (another story!), made a donation to support humanitarian aid in Gaza.
I would appreciate if anyone had any other thoughts, suggestions or ideas to share?
Or even if others who haven't been involved yet, and would like to, could take a few minutes to check out the Amnesty website: http://www.amnesty.org.uk/index.asp and the Avaaz website: http://www.avaaz.org/en/gaza_time_for_peace/?cl=170174582&v=2689
Best wishes to all,
