Consumer Boycott of Israeli Goods Steps Up

On Saturday December 10th, consumers across the UK will be boycotting Israeli goods, and persuading others to do the same, in a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people. Activists in centres including London, Brighton, Bristol, Bucks/Berks, Camden, Durham, E.London, Exeter, Hackney,Oxford, Stevenage, W. Kent, W London, W Midlands, and York, will be visiting supermarkets to hand out leaflets focussing on Israeli produce such as avocados, oranges and dates for boycott. Campaigners in Hackney will take to the streets in a mini-bus, dressed as fruit, to bring their anti-apartheid message to the public.

Organisers have vowed to step up the consumer boycott of Israeli goods because Israel refuses to abide by international law and recognise Palestinian human rights and end its brutal, military occupation of Palestinian land.

They cite the words of Nelson Mandela who visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories and declared that Israel’s occupation with its grotesque Wall and hundreds of checkpoints is worse than the apartheid suffered in South Africa. A widespread, international consumer boycott, sanctions and divestment will do what governments refuse to do, end Israel’s impunity.
