Rejected petition Take responsibility and help the men, women and children of Syria.

After working in Istanbul recently, I could not believe the amount of Syrian refugees, mostly children, sleeping on the streets. Then there's the boats capsizing in the Mediterranean and seeing children's bodies washing up on shores. We are causing this, we are responsible for their deaths.

More details

You don't need to look very far to know we are bombing and killing innocent people in countries like Syria, you can't turn on the news or social media without seeing the bodies of children washed up on shores because their boats capsized while they were trying to escape the warzone we have created. How can we call ourselves humans if we carry on as normal like it isn't happening?
