Dear Alex Baker MP

RE: Genocide on your doorstep

In your constituency there is an event being held every year at the Farnborough Exhibition Centre that sells weapons to be used to commit war crimes. The International Armoured Vehicles Conference will be attended/sponsored by over 20 companies and delegations that contribute to the Israeli military’s genocide in Gaza. (A genocide as confirmed by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, MSF along with forced starvation). So far the Israeli army has indiscriminately murdered 45,000 innocent civilian men, women and children in Gaza. (Sources: Oxfam, United Nations.)

You have repeatedly stated you wish for a peaceful resolution in Gaza and for Israel to comply with International Humanitarian Law, so we implore you to take a stand and not let this event happen in your name. 

Please raise this issue in Parliament and with the Farnborough Exhibition Centre as you can not condone the sales of weapons that will be used in war crimes.

We ask that no weapon be bought or sold ever again in your constituency to those committing war crimes. This is an annual event that will continue to facilitate war crimes without your intervention!
