Boycott Campaign -
The Palestinian people are experiencing their thirty fourth year
of military occupation. The siege by the Israeli army and the
economic blockade have devastated their daily lives so that 'normal'
life is impossible.
The Palestine Human Rights Campaign, with the support
of many individuals and organisations in Australia, the Occupied
Palestinian Territories and Israel, has joined the UK & US BIG Campaign
- a campaign to boycott Israeli products and tourism. There have been calls for a boycott from within Israel itself
as well as in the Occupied Territories. Our decision to join this
campaign follows decades of Israel's refusal to abide by UN Resolutions,
International Humanitarian law and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
We will organise supporters to boycott Israeli goods and services,
to persuade businesses to stop trading with Israel and to campaign
for an end to Australian government trade agreements with Israel.
Statement of Intent:
Stand Up for Palestinian Human Rights -
Oppose Israeli Oppression - Boycott Israeli Products
For too long the world has ignored the relentless
military oppression of the Palestinian people. Since the 29th
of September 2000, over 1,531* Palestinians have been killed and
more than 19,172* injured by the Israeli army and settlers. The
Government of Israel has intensified collective punishment on
the Palestinian civilian population, laying siege to their land,
preventing free movement and devastating the Palestinian economy.
"Normal" life is impossible as people are unable to
work, move around freely, attend school, get to hospitals, or
to obtain water.
We call for mass consumer action, along the lines
of the boycott of South African produce during the anti-apartheid
campaign. By joining this boycott individuals and organisations
can take concrete steps to stand up against the gross human rights
violations by the Israeli State.
We call for an immediate, unconditional lifting
of the siege of the occupied territories, an end to the occupation,
and the implementation of UN resolutions and international humanitarian
law in relation to the Palestinian people.
We therefore support:
A boycott of Israeli products
A boycott of Israeli leisure tourism
An end to Australian firms' investment in Israel
Suspension of Australian government trade agreements
with Israel
