The authors of the petition call for both a clear condemnation of Israel’s actions in the occupied territories and greater support for the Palestinian people, local television reported.

Part of the political solutions demanded is a call for an immediate ceasefire to stop the killing of children and urgent humanitarian aid. The Danish government should ensure that the borders are opened to supply the population with necessary goods, Scandinavian media quoted here commented. The activists demanded zero tolerance from the government for violations of international law, and referred to the United Nations’ clear condemnation of the war waged by Tel Aviv.

They also specifically called for the participation of the Danish executive in the international investigation into Israeli war crimes in the Gaza Strip, the press reported.

The initiative was also more specific in its demand for $17 million as a humanitarian aid package to rebuild hospitals, roads and schools in Gaza, according to the local press.
