Britain Must Implement the Goldstone Report: One year since Israel launched Operation Cast Lead, raining bombs on 1.5 million Palestinians, killing over 1400 and wounding over 5,000, the Israeli government has tightened its blockade on Gaza , creating a dire humanitarian disaster. Appallingly, the British government abstained on the votes at the UN on the Goldstone Report, which called for an end to the blockade, and for war criminals to be brought to justice.
Please sign the petition here: www.iparl.com/petition-psc calling on the British government to implement the Goldstone Report – we will be presenting the petition to Gordon Brown in January.

Phone Your Supermarkets Tomorrow!

Please circulate to friends and contacts:
Phone in Wednesday 11th November.
Morrisons Customer Services: 0845 611 6111
Waitrose Customer Services: 0800 188 884
It is time to step up the supermarket boycott campaign which calls for consumers to reject Israeli goods as long as Palestinians rights are denied by the apartheid regime. We must especially oppose the stocking of produce from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank which is stolen land. The settlements are illegal under international law and goods originating there should not be on sale in the UK. The label ‘West Bank’ is grossly misleading, some shoppers think that they are buying Palestinian produce. PSC and other organizations are targetting Waitrose and Morrisons supermarkets in particular as both refuse to discuss the question of settlement goods. We aim to inundate them with phone calls on Wednesday 11th November.
So please ring and complain on the above numbers. Lots more info on:
