29 February, Vancouver: Boycott Israeli Wine, Stand Up for Palestine!

Saturday, 29 February
2:00 pm
BC Liquor Store
8th and Cambie
Vancouver, BC

For many years, there has been an ongoing local campaign to call for a boycott of Israeli wines, many of them produced in the Occupied Territories, which are being sold in our publicly owned BC Liquor Stores. We asked David Eby, BC Attorney General, to respond to this issue but to date have received exactly the same response we got from previous BC governments, which was to stonewall and ignore our concerns.

The wines in question are either from the Golan Heights Winery (Mount Hermon brand), the Galil Winery (which is a joint venture with the Golan Heights Winery), or from the occupied West Bank, including the illegal Gush Etzion settlement bloc around Jerusalem. Two wines of particular note are the Efrat Judean Hills Kosher and Vision Malbec, both produced by the Israeli Teperberg Winery. This winery openly states that some of its vineyards are in occupied Palestinian territories and even provides a map on its website showing vineyards in the occupied West Bank.

All of this is in direct contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention and “stated” Canadian policy. Detailed information on Israeli wineries can be found in the exhaustive study done by “Who Profits” entitled Forbidden Fruit: Israeli Wine Industry and Occupation.

25 February, Nottingham: Zionism is Racism Defence Campaign Meeting

On Saturday 8 February, Daniel Green, a black pro-Palestine activist was singled out for arrest on an anti-Zionist demonstration organised by the Revolutionary Communist Group. The picket was of HSBC, targeted for its funding of arms companies supplying the racist Israeli state. Daniel was the only black person on the protest, and the only one to be targeted. This wrongful and racist arrest must be put into the context of the ongoing campaign to criminalise opposition to Zionism (a form of racism) – both in Palestine itself, and in Britain especially following the adoption of the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism. An example of ‘anti-semitism’ under the IHRA is the statement that ‘Israel is a racist endeavour’. The arrest of this activist shows that the criminalisation of support for Palestine is well underway.

Come along to this planning meeting to get involved in our campaign to demand that Nottinghamshire Police :
• Take no further action against Daniel Green
• Press no charges against anyone else present on the 8 February demonstration

The BDS campaign calls for a response to the Trump-Netanyahu attempt to annex Israeli settlements in the West Bank in violation with international law, to make Jerusalem the “undivided capital of Israel,” and to liquidate Palestinian refugees’ right to return to their homes and lands from which they were displaced. We call on Palestinians and friends of Palestine to join our press conference against this “deal.” Gather to join in solidarity with the Palestinian people!

BDS Hareketi adina, Bati Seria’da uluslararasi hukuka aykiri sekilde insa edilmis Israil yerlesim birimlerinin kalici hale gelmesini ve Israil tarafindan ilhak edilmesini, Kudüs’ün “Israil’in bölünmez baskenti” haline getirilmesini, Filistinli mültecilerin geri dönüs hakkinin tümüyle rafa kaldirilmasini ve karsiliginda Filistinlilere bir miktar paranin ve daginik toprak parçalari üzerinde ordusuz ve egemenlik haklarindan yoksun bir devletçigin “bahsedilmesine” karsi Filistinlileri ve Filistin dostlarini basin açiklamamiza çagiriyoruz.

Filistin halkiyla dayanismamizi haykirmak için, 22 Subat Cumartesi günü saat 14:00’de Ulus Heykel’de bulusalim.

The Zionism Is Racism Defence Campaign is returning to the spot where the arrest took place to show that we will not be intimidated by attempts to criminalise solidarity with Palestine. Stand with us and defend the democratic right to stand in solidarity with Palestine and to denounce Zionism for what it is – a form of racism.

On Saturday, 29 February, we will bring together as many people as possible to support the Palestinian refugees who are protesting against the Migration Board’s decision this autumn!

The Facebook event will be updated with additional information.

In short, the Migration Board’s decision means that hundreds of Palestinian refugees in Sweden, adults and children, will lose jobs, schools and housing through denied residence permits.

For more information, begin by checking out this petition: https://www.mittskifte.org/petitions/lat-palestinierna-stanna-1

Lördagen 29:e februari samlas vi så många som möjligt för att uppmärksamma och stötta de palestinska flyktingarna som protesterar mot Migrationsverkets beslut från i höstas!

Eventet uppdateras löpande med mer information.

Missat bakgrunden? Kortfattat innebär Migrationsverkets beslut att hundratals palestinska flyktingar i Sverige, vuxna som barn, förlorar jobb, skola och bostad genom nekade uppehållstillstånd.

För mer information, börja med att kolla in (och sprid!) den här namninsamlingen: https://www.mittskifte.org/petitions/lat-palestinierna-stanna-1
