(1,598 posts)A We the People petition urging the White House to condemn the apartheid state of Israel for its supposed human rights violations has well surpassed the required 100,000 signatures for an official response.
The petition, created July 5 by a Missouri resident by the name J.P., says its purpose is to raise awareness of the plight of the Palestinian peoples under the Apartheid Regime in Israel.
I seek recognition by my government that without our American tax dollars, Israel could not conduct such criminal acts against the civilian population of Palestine, the petition reads.
Nearly 120,000 people had electronically signed the petition by Monday afternoon, just nine days after it was created.
The website states that petitioners have 30 days to get 100,000 signatures in order to get an official White House response.
