Rejected petition Take action to prevent genocide in Iraq

More details

If a house can act to prevent a genocide, it has a moral obligation to do so. It is no longer acceptable to dismiss action against ISIS with a simple "we support the Iraq government". The US cannot win this battle alone, and waiting for others to act is a death sentence for thousands of people. The UK needs to take action from the air; targeted airstrikes is the very least we can do to help prevent a massive genocide.
