Ban Israeli settlement goods
Unite supports the campaign being run jointly
by the TUC and PSC to Ban Israeli Settlement Goods!
In the 43rd year of Israel’s occupation of
Palestine, the repression of its people is worse than ever.
This must end. The Palestinians have a right
to live with dignity, free from occupation.
To coincide with the call for a Global Day of
Action on 30 March 2010, made by the Palestinian Boycott National
Committee, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign is to launch a
campaign in partnership with the TUC which aims to end the sale of
settlement produce in Britain.
The British government has recognised that the
settlements are illegal and an obstacle to peace. Yet produce from
Palestine’s stolen land — fruits, herbs, beauty products, DIY tools
— are being sold in our supermarkets and shops, helping to
economically sustain the settlements and strengthening the
occupation.
We are calling on Unite members to take action
using the Palestine Solidarity campaign tool-kit. Inside you’ll
find:
- TUC-PSC postcard, leaflet and briefing
- Basic facts about settlements
- Information on organising consumer
action
- Model letters to send to your MP, MEP and
local supermarkets
- A local media strategy
- E-tools to use in the virtual world
Useful links, resources and more all available
at: www.palestinecampaign.org/ban-settlement-goods
Calling all Unite members to join the campaign
and send a clear message that the international community is
serious — Israel’s illegal occupation must end, and it must abide
by international law.
