 Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) including all its local branches, in partnership with the Trade Union Congress
(TUC), has launched a campaign to ban the import of goods and produce from illegal Israeli settlements into the UK. The
sale of these goods helps to economically bolster the illegal settlements, which now occupy over 40% of West Bank
land, and strengthens the illegal occupation.
This must end. The Palestinians have a right to live with dignity, free from occupation.
The British government and the international community has recognised that the settlements are illegal and an obstacle
to peace. Yet goods from Palestine's stolen land - including fruit, herbs and beauty products - continues to be sold in
our shops and supermarkets.
Get involved. You can help to take these stolen goods from stolen lands off our supermarket shelves.
While settlement goods and produce remain on sale in the UK, the Palestinians have urged people of conscience to
boycott them. And, internationally, calls for boycott, sanctions and disinvestment from Israel are also growing stronger. Click here to read why Ronnie Kasrils, a former member of South Africa's ANC government, thinks the 'time is ripe for
boycott' in the UK.

may be misleading to the actual country of origin of the ingredient and would be illegal under food labelling legislation”

Conflict in the Middle East
How much do Christians know about the continuing strife and bloodshed in Palestine?
How much do we care
about the suffering of the Palestinians in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza? Should we ignore what is happening there,
to “pass by on the other side”, as in the parable of the Good Samaritan?
We used to know Palestine as
the Holy land, where Jesus Christ ministered and died for us. It is also a country for which we were responsible under Mandate from the League of Nations until 1948.
Please come and hear balanced responsible discussion by
The Revd. Alan Ashton
Co author of the report “Justice for Palestine and Israel” presented to the Methodist Conference July 2010.
