Why this matters
For decades, Israel’s occupation has meant ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and oppression against Palestinians. These past years, the world has been forced to watch a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, funded with EU money.

And yet:
The EU keeps its privileged trade agreement with Israel.

complicit in Israel's human rights violations.

This not diplomacy.
This is not neutrality.
This is a political choice.
EU complicity must end
NEVER AGAIN IS NOW
Our movement is launching a European Citizens’ Initiative to force the EU end its complicity with Israel’s crimes by fully suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
EU citizens cannot and will not accept an agreement that legitimises and financially supports crimes against humanity and war crimes.
We will rise, rally, and resist - until the occupation ends, justice is served, and Palestine is free.
Who we are
The European Citizens’ Initiative Justice for Palestine is put forward by the European Left Alliance for the People and the Planet (ELA) - a European political party that unites green left and feminist parties committed to defending international law, democratic institutions, and human rights.
We are building a movement of millions of European citizens, demanding justice for Palestine and a stop to the EU’s complicity with Israel.
