Why this petition matters

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital has removed a display of artwork painted by children in Gaza, at the request of UK Lawyers for Israel. The UKLFI say they were petitioned by Jewish patients at the hospital who claimed to be vulnerable and victimised when they looked at the painted plates on the wall. They did not like seeing a Palestinian flag over the Temple Mount, claiming this is a holy site in Judaism, when in fact it is shared with Christianity, and Islam for thousands of years. If these children's paintings are allowed to remain hidden, what does that say about our tolerance and our willingness to give children a voice? They are victims of war. They are not terrorists, no matter how hard the UKLFI try to argue that they are terrorists in waiting. Act now and petition the hospital to hang the painted plates again. Give these vulnerable imprisoned children a voice, defending their culture and their human rights in whatever land they live.
