and remember also that there is a cause to which many people have
committed themselves, difficulties and terrible obstacles notwithstanding. Why? Because it is a Just Cause, a noble ideal, a moral quest for equality and human rights.”

PSC Press Release, Watering down universal jurisdiction will benefit all war criminals - Palestine Solidarity Campaign calls for no change to current law
Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke, announced today that the Government will attempt to change the
law on universal jurisdiction, making it harder to issue arrest warrants in the UK against human rights violators.
Sarah Colborne, director of campaigns and operations at Palestine Solidarity Campaign, said:
'Ken Clarke's proposed legislation will make it easier for Israeli political and military leaders, who
have been accused by the UN of war crimes in Gaza, to come to the UK without fear of
prosecution. During Operation Cast Lead last year, Israel dropped burning white phosphorus on
women and children in Gaza, used civilians as human shields and bombed a UN compound where
people were sheltering, and yet our politicians are bending over backwards to welcome Israeli
leaders to this country. A chance for the Palestinians to see those who committed war crimes
against them brought to justice is being snatched away by our cynical coalition government.'
She added: 'Our government is doing its best to allow those who commit crimes against humanity
to visit Britain, without a thought for the human rights of their victims. How much lower can
Cameron and Clegg stoop? If this legislation is passed, it will affect not only the people of
Palestine, but victims of war crimes around the world. It must be stopped - there should be no
safe haven for war criminals here.'
In October 2009, Israel's vice premier, Moshe Ya'alon, decided not to travel to the UK for fear of
being arrested for war crimes. In September 2009, an attempt was made to issue a warrant to
Ehud Barak, Israel's defence minister, at the Labour Party Conference in Brighton. The Foreign
Office upgraded his status to 'special status' to give him diplomatic immunity from arrest.
In December 2009, an arrest warrant was issued in the UK for Israeli foreign minister, Tzipi Livni,
who was due to visit London

The Olympia Food Co-op Board of Directors has decided to boycott Israeli goods at their two
locations in Olympia, Washington. At a July 15th meeting packed
with Co-op members, the Board reached this consensus. The Co
-op becomes the first US grocery store to publicly join the
international grassroots movement for boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) on Israel for its human rights abuses.
Co-op board member Rob Richards explained, “My hope is that
by being the first in the US to adopt the boycott we act as a catalyst for other co-ops to join in. Each additional
organizational entity that joins may have a very small effect on
the big picture, but drop by drop fills the tub.” Noah Sochet, a Co-op member and OlympiaBDS organizer adds,
“As a US citizen and as a Jew, I’m proud to say that my Co-op
no longer underwrites the suffering in Palestine.”
Olympia BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) is a grassroots network of community members in
Olympia, WA, joining the call by Palestinian civil society for a non-violent, global movement of boycott,
divestment, and sanctions of Israel, until it meets the requirements of human rights and international law.
