Petition to investigate war crimes in Gaza

There is currently a petition online to appeal for an investigation into war crimes in the latest Israeli incursion into Gaza. There is mounting evidence that white phosphorous bombs were dropped on the civilian population centers, not to mention the destruction of the three UN facilities.
The petition is here. Sign it if you see fit.

The second asks if aid to Israel should be withheld until significant progress has been made towards peace – take that one here
Thanks for your support.
