Dear friends, sisters, brothers, and comrades in the struggle for peace and justice:
The Palestine Solidarity Committee (PSC)-Pakistan is deeply distressed at the way in which the US and the Gulf countries are putting immense pressure, threatening deportation of Pakistan laborers, etc., if Pakistan does not follow their lead and normalize relations with Israel. This is unacceptable for us, as we are relentlessly campaigning with human rights groups here to condemn the harsh Israeli military occupation of the Palestinians.
In this time of the urgent and immediate possible capitulation to DC and the Saudis and the Emiratis, we have created this emergency global petition to present to Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan. He is very much cornered right now (having stated numerous times that he will refuse to bow down to the pressure to normalize ties with Israel), and we hope this petition will tip the favor in his position of rejecting any normalization process with Israel until the military occupation ends, and there is justice for Palestinians — no matter what the traditional military-political establishment in Pakistan says or desires.
As trusted comrades of ours in this struggle for the dignity of Palestinians, we hope you can sign this petition immediately so that we can halt this dangerous and suicidal path our country may be forced to undertake.
Here is the petition:

Please, please do kindly sign and forward widely to get maximum support for this urgent issue which, if not halted, would lead to an unmitigated disaster for the Palestine Solidarity Movement here in Pakistan.
In solidarity and with warm regards,
Sarah Moin, National Director of the PSC-Pakistan Elzabeth Patel,
Global Palestine Solidarity Coordinator-Pakistan Junaid S. Ahmad,
National Spokesperson of the PSC-Pakistan on behalf of Palestine
