Stop the Genocide of Christians in Iraq

353,569

Signatures //

The unthinkable is happening in the Middle East.

The Islamic State, also known as ISIS, has rolled through Iraq, and they are brutal beyond imagining.

They've given Iraqi Christians an ultimatum: "Convert, leave, or die."

They’ve marked Christian homes and businesses like the Nazis marked Jewish homes.

Christians are fleeing for their lives by the tens of thousands.

They’ve sought refuge in Kurdistan; but so far the Obama Administration has refused to arm the Kurds, and humanitarian aid is very slow to arrive.

There’s no excuse for delay. After the Holocaust, the world promised “never again.” Never again would it stand aside and watch genocide occur.

Tell the Obama Administration to take action. Arm our allies, the Kurds. Flood humanitarian aid to besieged Christians. We cannot allow genocide in Iraq.

Stop the Genocide of Christians in Iraq

President Obama,

We have allies on the ground ready to protect Christians. Arm the Kurds. There are tens of thousands of desperate refugees. Flood them with humanitarian aid. America must declare to the world that it will not permit genocide of Iraqi Christians and other religious minorities.

It may be the biggest step forward in our genocide campaign since the U.S. officially recognized the “ genocide against . . . Christians .” The U.S. government has just secured a major concession from the U.N.
