Stop Rishi moving British embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem

The Issue

The whole world knows about the troubles between Israel  and Palestine. Jerusalem is a holy city to both countries. Both would like to hail Jerusalem as their capital. The holiest sites to Muslim  Palestinians are the two mosques in East Jerusalem and it is East Jerusalem which Palestine hopes to have as its capital. The holiest areas to Jewish Israel are in West Jerusalem.

Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem in a controversial action causing outcry and protest. Israel has illegally taken over Palestinian territory and evicted Palestinian families. A richer nation, they exert power and influence.

Rishi Sunak is appeasing those associated with the Conservative  UK Friends of Israel  by emulating the US, and  is endorsing the relocation of the British  embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. There is a professionally sponsored campaign to support this controversial plan.

This petition asks that equal consideration be given to Palestinians who have an equal right to have internationally recognized  ownership of half of the city which has deep and historical significance to their religious beliefs and to their identity.

This petition asks for equal and fair discussion and agreement between the Palestinian and Israeli population to arrive at a consensus over any partition of Jerusalem so there may be a peaceful resolution. 

This petition seeks to avoid future conflict over what clearly appears to be a land grab of all of Jerusalem by one powerful country which has a history of disproportionate aggression towards its weaker neighbour.
