Gaza: Stop Blockade & War

In case you haven't already heard about the latest news, I'm directly copying it from Avaaz.org:

"The years-old blockade of Gaza is at crisis point: with the humanitarian crisis growing, the southern border has been breached and 350,000 Palestinians are pouring across. The situation is out of control -- the world must step in.

To prevent catastrophe and protect civilians on all sides, your voice is needed urgently: we’re running an emergency global campaign to international, European and Arab leaders, calling on them to stop the siege, oversee open borders and help broker a ceasefire. We’ll deliver the petition when we reach 150,000 signatures.
To the United Nations, the European Union, the Quartet, the Arab League & Israel: We demand that you end the blockade and growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, ensure the free flow of supplies by land, sea or air, and help to broker the ceasefire which civilians on both sides desperately need."

Basically the people behind Avaaz.org is doing a petition before they want to confront the leaders responsible. They need 150,000 people to sign it in support to their cause. Read about it and if you agree with them, sign it. In case you're a cynical non-believer of internet petitions that ends up being just a scam, like me, well... this isn't a scam. They are real and they really have met with world leaders to address certain issues before. So, if you haven't already signed the petition, [click here] and read through what they are petitioning for.

Owh, by the way, pass the word around... it'll be for a good cause, insyaAllah.
