Latest News, , June 21st, 2008
A network of seventeen Palestinian human rights NGOs, including Stop the Wall, today launched a campaign to mobilize the international community to end the expulsion of Palestinians from Jerusalem by the Israeli occupation. The Civic Coalition for Jerusalem is calling for a ‘blacklist’ of corporations supporting the occupation of Jerusalem, and is asking activists all over the world to research companies in their own countries to go on the list: “We call on international solidarity to mobilise to support Jerusalemite Palestinians, by naming and shaming the companies and governments that support the occupation and who stand idly by while the occupying power rides roughshod over Palestinian rights. We call on solidarity to put Jerusalem at the heart of the campaign against the occupation. We call on the international community to answer the call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel to support Palestinian rights in Jerusalem.” Companies can be blacklisted in seconds using the online reporting system on the Coalition website, www.ccdprj.ps/stopexpulsion. The Coalition will then contact the company concerned to get clarification on their policy. If the company insists that they will support the occupation regardless of Palestinian rights, they will be blacklisted and details distributed to activists.
