Petition to the Palestinian Council of Ministers re Settlement Goods

On 16th June the Palestinian Council of Ministers resolved to implement the ban on the sale of settlement goods in Palestinian markets. There will inevitably be severe pressure brought to bear by Israel and its supporters around the world for the Ministers to reverse or renege on their decision.

We must pre-empt that by clearly showing our support for their call. Please sign the petition here for an individual or here for an organisation.

Settlement expansion and ethnic cleansing in Palestine: A Jordan Valley case study June 2009

Valley of Grief

For the last month our TV screens and newspapers have been filled with reports of Israel’s massacre of the people of Gaza. The bloodshed and brutality have caused outrage across the world and calls for international actions to hold Israel to account are growing. Whilst this is going on, the people on the other side of Palestine continue their struggle in relative silence against the gradual ethnic cleansing of their land.

Demolitions in Khirbet Ar Ras al Ahmar.

House demolitions and ethnic cleansing in the Jordan Valley

On 31st May of this year, the Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank delivered 32 demolition orders to families in the Jordan Valley ordering them to remove their homes or they will be bulldozed. Up to 304 people will become homeless as a result of the demolitions, 201 of which were only given 48 hours to evacuate with few being given the opportunity to appeal.

32 families threatened with eviction and house demolitions

The very existence of the Palestinian communities in Al Hadidiya and Khirbet Ar Ras Al Ahmar has been threatened once again by the Israeli occupation authority. On 31st May 09 thirty two families were threatened with eviction or the demolition of their homes. The following details have been published by the United Nations.

International Call for Action against Agrexco

The Boycott Israeli Goods Campaign (www.bigcampaign.org) is issuing an international call to action against Carmel-Agrexco next February. Carmel-Agrexco is the Israeli national exporter of fruit and vegetables and imports large quantities of goods from illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

Twinning group needed for vulnerable village in the West Bank

The Brighton Tubas Friendship and Solidarity Group are looking to find a committed group of people seeking a village to twin with in Palestine. The 5000 people of Al Mazra’a al Qibliyah –located not far from Bir Zeit in the West Bank- are experiencing increasing violence from the surrounding settlement Talmon B and are therefore in need of a strong campaigning support network.
