*Draft Email — Version 2 (fuller)*

I am writing as your constituent to ask you to sign the Senedd Statement of Opinion: Pledge for Palestine (OPIN-2026-0513).

The scale of destruction in Gaza is staggering. Over 72,000 Palestinians have been killed, more than 21,000 of them children. Homes, hospitals, schools, and entire neighbourhoods have been erased. This is a human catastrophe of historic proportions — and Wales must not be silent or complicit.

The statement calls on the Senedd to:

* Uphold the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people
* Support accountability for Israel's crimes of genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing
* Ensure the Welsh Government is not complicit in Israel's violations of international law, including through support for boycott, divestment, and sanctions

As my elected representative, I urge you to add your name and show that Wales stands on the right side of history.

*Cymerwch 5 munud i annog eich AS i sefyll dros Balesteina

Mae Datganiad Barn ffurfiol wedi'i gyflwyno yn y Senedd. Mae'n galw ar Lywodraeth Cymru i gynnal hawliau Palestiniaid, cefnogi atebolrwydd am hil-laddiad ac apartheid, a sicrhau nad yw Cymru'n rhan o droseddau Israel o gyfraith ryngwladol.

Mae hyn yn seiliedig ar yr Addewid Ymgeisydd y gwnaethom ymgyrchu drosto, ac mae angen i Aelodau'r Senedd ei lofnodi nawr.

*Mae'n cymryd 5 munud. Dyma sut:*

1. Ewch i writetothem.com
2. Mewnbynnwch eich cod post
3. Dewiswch "Ysgrifennwch at eich holl Aelodau Seneddol"
4. Defnyddiwch yr e-bost drafft isod fel canllaw, ond golygwch ef a'i hysgrifennu yn eich geiriau eich hun, gan fod negeseuon wedi’i copïo a gludo i'r un fath yn cael eu rhwystro'n awtomatig.

Rwy'n ysgrifennu fel eich etholwr i ofyn i chi lofnodi Datganiad Barn y Senedd: Addewid dros Balesteina (OPIN-2026-0513).

Mae graddfa'r dinistr yn Gaza yn syfrdanol. Mae dros 72,000 o Balesteiniaid wedi cael eu lladd, mwy na 21,000 ohonynt yn blant. Mae cartrefi, ysbytai, ysgolion, a chymdogaethau cyfan wedi cael eu dileu. Mae hwn yn drychineb dynol o gyfrannau hanesyddol. No all Cymru fod yn dawel nac yn cydgynllwynwyr.

Mae'r datganiad yn galw ar y Senedd i:
* Cynnal hawliau anhrosglwyddadwy Palestiniaid.
* Cefnogi atebolrwydd am droseddau hil-laddiad, apartheid, a glanhau ethnig Israel.
* Sicrhau nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn gydlynol yn nhoriadau Israel o gyfraith ryngwladol, gan gynnwys trwy gefnogi boicot, dadfuddsoddi, a sancsiynau

Fel fy nghynrychiolydd etholedig, rwy'n eich annog i ychwanegu eich enw a dangos bod Cymru yn sefyll ar ochr gyfiawn hanes.

“The protestors … pointed to the UK’s Watchkeeper drone programme, which is run at Aberporth, developed by Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems, stating: “By working with Elbit and allowing Israel's biggest weapons firm to access Aberporth sites, the UK and Welsh governments manufacture consent for Israel's historic apartheid and systematic erasure of Palestine.”

An ongoing protest outside MOD Aberporth has blocked entry to the site for the last seven hours. Read the full story via the link in the comments.

MOD aberporth has been shut down this morning. the site is managed by arms company Qinetiq and has been complicit in war crimes such as in testing drones built by elbit systems, advertised as 'battle tested' on Palestinians

A huge thank you to Palestine Solidarity Movement from Bournemouth for bringing their Red Line to Cardigan last weekend, and to all the organisations that helped make it possible.

It was a powerful and unifying experience to be part of, carrying such an important message: across the world, we stand together against the atrocities being committed against Palestinians by Israel, and we condemn our governments for aiding and abetting genocide.

Not in our name.

From Wales to Palestine, we are the Red Line.

Diolch yn fawr iawn i “Palestine Solidarity Movement” o Bournemouth am ddod â’u Llinell Goch i Aberteifi y penwythnos diwethaf, ac i’r holl sefydliadau a helpodd i’w gwneud yn bosibl.

Roedd yn brofiad pwerus ac unedig i fod yn rhan ohono, gan gyfleu neges mor bwysig: ledled y byd, rydym yn sefyll gyda’n gilydd yn erbyn yr erchyllterau sy’n cael eu cyflawni yn erbyn y Palestiniaid gan Israel, ac rydym yn condemnio ein llywodraethau am gynorthwyo a hwyluso hil-laddiad.

Nid yn ein henw ni.

O Gymru i Balesteina, ni yw’r Llinell Goch.

This is a death sentence!

Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli army to seize 70% of the Gaza Strip.

Speaking from a conference in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, the Israeli prime minister laid out his plans to take control of more than two-thirds of Gaza, in blatant violation of last year’s US-brokered ‘ceasefire’.

Defence minister Israel Katz said his government’s ultimate aim is for a mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza by “voluntary migration”. In reality, the plan amounts to ethnic cleansing by making life in Gaza so intolerable that Palestinians are forced to leave.

The ‘ceasefire’ agreement made in October 2025 saw Israeli troops withdraw to a demarcation line, which left Israel in complete control of 53% of Gaza. Since then, the Israeli army has steadily advanced further into the Strip, occupying yet more territory, controlling entry and exit points and shooting at anyone perceived as a threat.

Since the US-brokered deal came into effect, Israel has violated the ceasefire thousands of times with near-daily attacks, killing more than 900 Palestinians.

If Israel now takes control of 70% of the coastal enclave, surviving Palestinians will be crammed into less than a third of the territory they lived in before October 2023.

“The conditions [in Gaza] are already appalling,” said Muhammed Shehada, a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. “It is the single most overcrowded place on the face of the planet.

“Every square metre has another displaced family, another makeshift tent, or some sort of improvised shelter on it. So it would be a death sentence for a lot of people who physically have no place to go.”

Netanyahu’s plans to seize the majority of Gaza fit within a wider Greater Israel project that would see Israeli borders expand into Syria and Lebanon. In April, Israel’s finance minister Bezalel Smotrich declared expansionism as the “final political leg” of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.

Since October 2023, at least 72,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and more than 172,000 injured.
