ISRAEL

Boycott Israeli Goodsbigcampaign.org

Aims:
Stand Up for Palestinian Human Rights!

Oppose Israeli Oppression!

Boycott Israeli Products!

For too long the world has ignored the relentless military oppression of the Palestinian people. Between the 29th of September 2000 and 14th May 2002, over 1,545* Palestinians have been killed and more than 19,206* injured by the Israeli army and settlers. The Government of Israel has intensified collective punishment on the Palestinian civilian population, laying siege to their land, preventing free movement and devastating the Palestinian economy. "Normal" life is impossible as people are unable to work, move around freely, attend school, get to hospitals, or to obtain water.

We call for mass consumer action, along the lines of the boycott of South African produce during the anti-apartheid campaign. By joining this boycott individuals and organisations can take concrete steps to stand up against the gross human rights violations by the Israeli State.

We, the undersigned, call for an immediate, unconditional lifting of the siege of the occupied territories, an end to the occupation, and the implementation of UN resolutions and international humanitarian law in relation to the Palestinian people.

We therefore support:

A boycott of Israeli products

A boycott of Israeli leisure tourism

An end to UK firms' investment in Israel

Suspension of British government trade agreements with Israel
