Boycott Israeli Settlement Products links to a range of resources: From the Palestine Solidarity Campaign: To coincide with the call for a Global Day of Action on 30 March 2010, made by the Palestinian Boycott National Committee, the Palestine Solidarity Campaign launched a campaign in partnership with the TUC which aims to end the sale of settlement produce in Britain. The British government has recognised that the settlements are illegal and an obstacle to peace. Yet produce from Palestine’s occupied land — fruits, herbs, beauty products, DIY tools — are being sold in our supermarkets and shops, helping to economically sustain the settlements and strengthening the occupation. Take action using our campaign tool-kit. Inside you’ll find: TUC-PSC postcard, leaflet and briefing Basic facts about settlements Information on organising consumer action Model letters to send to your MP, MEP and local supermarkets A local media strategy E-tools to use in the virtual world Useful links, resources and more All available at:

Ask you MSPs to support Christine Graham’s motion S3M-6471: Supermarket Boycott of Israeli Produce *S3M-6471 Christine Grahame: Supermarket Boycott of Israeli Produce—That the Parliament supports calls for peaceful direct action to be taken against the state of Israel for what is considered its ongoing flagrant disregard for international law and failure to uphold international standards of behaviour in its efforts to destabilise the entire Middle East region through its actions and policies; supports calls for a complete withdrawal of Israeli produce from Tesco, Asda, the Co-operative, Marks and Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Somerfield and Waitrose and considers that Scots consumers can make a real difference by refusing to purchase Israeli produce from these UK-based companies, and calls on those supermarket chains to refuse to buy produce from Israel until it has demonstrated its commitment to peace and the rule of law. http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/businessBulletin/bb-10/bb-06-02f.htm http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/businessBulletin/bb-10/bb-06-02f.htmhttp://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/businessBulletin/bb-10/bb-06-02f.htmhttp://www.scottish.parliament.uk/business/businessBulletin/bb-10/bb-06-02f.htmshapeimage_7_link_0shapeimage_7_link_1shapeimage_7_link_2
