#BoycottPUMA campaign continues to expose Puma’s complicity with Zionist colonialism

On Saturday, 24 June, the Collectif Palestine Vaincra participated in a new international day of mobilization to call for a boycott of athletic equipment manufacturer Puma, sponsor of the Israeli Football Association, which includes 6 teams in illegal settlements in the West Bank of occupied Palestine.

Faced with this scandalous reality, hundreds of thousands of people around the world and more than 200 Palestinian sports clubs are calling for a boycott of the German sports brand until the company ends its political and economic support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinian people and the Zionist colonization of Palestinian land. The Collectif Palestine Vaincra, a member organization of the Samidoun Network, organized a poster campaign in several districts of Toulouse, France, and in front of several stores that sell Puma clothing and activewear.

The Collectif also distributed flyers in the Bagatelle neighborhood emphasizing “that by participating in the European championships, by having major international brands as sponsors, Israel is developing its policy of normalizing apartheid, colonization and occupation.” CPV published several posts on social networks to raise awareness about the growing campaign to boycott Puma.

The next day, during the Palestine Afternoon in Toulouse, the Collectif Palestine Vaincra also highlighted the #BoycottPUMA campaign through several games, such as a shot on goal and a shake-up. A fun way to raise awareness of the importance of these campaigns in support of the Palestinian people.

In many countries and cities, similar initiatives took place, such as in Lille, Manchester, Kuala Lumpur and Osaka. The Israeli occupation has murdered more than 170 Palestinians since the beginning of the year and announced the intensification of the process of colonization and ethnic cleansing; amid this context, protesters around the world have denounced Puma’s complicity with this policy. More than ever, we must build a grassroots campaign to boycott Israel and complicit international corporations in order to lend meaningful support to the Palestinian resistance in its struggle for return and the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea!

Palestine Afternoon in Toulouse celebrates Palestinian culture and resistance

On Sunday 25 June at La Chapelle in Toulouse, France, the Collectif Palestine Vaincra organized an Aprem Palestine (Palestine Afternoon) to celebrate the Palestinian resistance and support the artistic village of Qana in Gaza. Over 100 people joined the event throughout the day in a warm, family-friendly atmosphere of international solidarity, in a place offering a cool interior space and a pleasant shaded garden in the heart of the city.

Many banners and Palestinian flags decorated the space as well as several exhibitions on the situation of the 5000 Palestinian prisoners and highlighting the movement against the blockade of Gaza. At the entrance, a stand offered a large selection of flyers, stickers, but also books, DVDs, keffiyehs, scarves, t-shirts and tote bags (available online). The Collectif Palestine Vaincra is a member organization of the Samidoun Network.

The event began with Palestinian food, including falafel, hummus, tabbouleh and different salads and cakes.

These items are not simply food — they are part of Palestinian and Arab culture and identity, and are subjected to theft and cultural appropriation of the Israeli occupation and therefore become a political issue.

Then, the afternoon was formally opened with an intervention by an activist from the Collectif Palestine Vaincra, who emphasized that “it is important to organize this event to celebrate the Palestinian people and to show that despite 75 years of settler colonialism, the Palestinian people continue to resist, including by setting up this type of artistic project despite all difficulties.”

Nawras Shalhoub, Palestinian artist and coordinator of the Artistic Village of Qana in Gaza, spoke next, discussing this artistic project in Gaza and emphasizing that it is part of the Palestinian resistance which fights for a society free of colonialism and occupation. This Village honors the richness of Palestinian society and its history of struggle and resistance through promotion of culture in all forms, as during the screening of “Fedayin, the fight of Georges Abdallah” organized there last April.

The day continued with various workshops for the participants. For example, artist Said Benjelloun offered an introduction to Arabic calligraphy while Meriem made magnificent henna tattoos. Another team led an introduction to graffiti while many games and activities were offered for children, including painting and sports activities. At the same time, several people danced dabke in the garden to an assortment of Palestinian music.

At the end of the graffiti workshop, participants produced a temporary mural in support of Palestinian student and former political prisoner Layan Kayed who has been under interrogation for several weeks and denied access to see her lawyer throughout this time.

Around 40 people wrote letters of support addressed to several Palestinian prisoners and their families, in particular the freedom fighter and sick prisoner Walid Daqqah and the leaders of the resistance, Ahmad Sa’adat and Marwan Barghouti.

Several Palestinian and Arab participants read Arabic poetry highlighting the history of Palestine, its resistance and the fight against normalization. For example, a reading of an excerpt from “The Trinity of Principles” by Wissam Al Rafidi described the brutality of the arrest of a Palestinian fighter who had been living in hiding for 10 years. Other pieces include  “I am an Arab” by Mahmoud Darwish and  “No reconciliation” by Amal Dunqul.

After each reading, an explanation in French was made on the meaning of the text and its political significance for today. Finally, an activist rapped an excerpt from the song “Bordure destructice” ending with“Who sows the Hagra, reaps the Intifada” to applause!

The afternoon ended with a presentation by an activist from the Collectif emphasizing the importance of building solidarity with the Palestinian people and the need to join the actions of boycotting Israel and the campaign for the release of the militant of the Palestinian cause Georges Abdallah, the Lebanese struggler for Palestine imprisoned in France since 1984. Thank you again to all of you for having made this afternoon a beautiful moment of mutual aid and collective solidarity which made it possible to support the Qana Art Village in Gaza. To continue this mobilization, do not hesitate to join the Collectif during our next activities that we regularly organize in Toulouse and to follow CPV on its various social networks (Facebook , Twitter , Instagram , TikTok and Telegram).

Urgent: Walid Daqqah denied early release by occupation court as he returns medication to protest communication denial

Palestinian prisoner, intellectual and freedom fighter Walid Daqqah was denied early release today, 25 June, by an Israeli occupation “release committee,” despite the fact that he is suffering from the rare bone marrow cancer myelofibrosis, for which he cannot receive appropriate and necessary treatment behind bars. Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network urges Palestinian communities around the world and supporters and friends of Palestine to take action and escalate their campaigns and advocacy for Daqqah’s immediate freedom.

  • The Palestinian Youth Movement has launched a petition campaign as part of their advocacy for Daqqah’s release. Samidoun has signed on to this call alongside many other organizations and individuals! Add your name and sign on here: https://palestinianyouthmovement.com/free-walid-daqqah

The family’s statement and that of the campaign for his release follows below:

Monday, 26 June 2023 at 6:30 pm (Palestine time)

The release committee decided to reject the request of the lawyer of the prisoner, Walid Daqqah, for his early release, claiming that the “Prevention of Terrorism” law applies to him — even though his actual sentence expired on 24 March 2023. The committtee claimed that Walid Daqqah has no right to request early release. His legal team will study the decision and appeal it to the Central Court.

This action comes after weeks and months of delays and referrals from one release committee to another, all while Walid Daqqah continues to be denied the treatment that he needs, which he can only receive in a free and sanitary environment, including a bone marrow transplant. In fact, he is repeatedly transferred between a civilian hospital and the notorious Ramleh prison clinic — dubbed “the slaughterhouse” by Palestinian prisoners — despite his precarious health condition. In the past seven months, he was not only diagnosed with myelofibrosis, after an initial incorrect diagnosis of leukemia, but due to the medical neglect and mistreatment, he suffered a stroke, was denied treatment for a lengthy period, developed pneumonia and had a portion of his lung removed surgically. He has developed infections after being removed to the Ramleh clinic which required his return to the civilian hospitals; all of these developments have been reported by the campaign led by his family.

This action by the occupation court — deeply unsurprising and reflecting the nature of the Zionist legal system as a fig leaf for colonialism, which has granted “permission for his execution,” as his family has noted — follows only an hour after an earlier statement by Daqqah’s family. Despite his extremely precarious health condition and the necessity of his medication for treating his cancer, Daqqah returned his medication today as he continues to be denied contact and communication with his family.

Daqqah has been imprisoned by the occupation since 1986 for participating in the Palestinian resistance. He has been repeatedly denied release in prisoner exchanges because he is a Palestinian from occupied Palestine ’48 — a citizen of Israel, yet denied access to the normal amenities and consideration granted to Jewish Israeli prisoners. His sentence expired on 24 March 2023, but he is currently being held on an additional two-year disciplinary sentence for smuggling a mobile phone in order to speak to his family.

The family campaign statement follows below:

Monday, 26 June 2023 at 5:20 pm (Palestine time)

In protest of the deprivation of his right to communicate with his family, the prisoner Walid Daqqah returned his medicine today to the administration of the Ramleh occupation prison clinic. Daqqah rejected the prison administration’s delays and procrastination in making arrangements for communication with his family, despite his critical health condition. He also refused that arrangement for communication with his family should come at the expense of his fellow prisoners.

We in the family and the campaign to release the prisoner Walid Daqqah, demand an immediate response to his demand. We consider the prison administration’s delay in fulfilling this right as a continuation of the prison authority’s decision to harm his life by pushing him to reject his medicine. We call on local, regional and international bodies and authorities to intervene immediately to guarantee his rights, including the right to contact his family, until his release is secured.

Walid Daqqah is married to Sanaa Salameh and the father of Milad, who was conceived through “smuggled sperm” after he had his wife were denied conjugal visits. Throughout his imprisonment, he has resisted through his writing, his books for adults and children, his political thought, and the growth and love of his family despite prison bars.

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network joins the family of Walid Daqqah, the campaign for his freedom and the entire Palestinian people in demanding his immediate release, the only way in which he can receive proper treatment without restrictions. The Israeli prison administration and the Zionist regime hold full responsibility for his life as they continue to deny him an appropriate environment to treat his rare cancer.

Take action to save the life of Walid Daqqah and defeat the Zionist policy of assassination through medical neglect.

We urge Palestinian communities around the world and supporters of Palestine to include the campaign to free Walid Daqqah in your events and activities for Palestine and to organize actions and events demanding his immediate liberation and that of all Palestinian prisoners.

Lebanese campaign to free Georges Abdallah denounces French official’s visit to Lebanon

On Wednesday, 21 June, Jean-Yves Le Drian, the personal emissary of French president Emmanuel Macron, arrived in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, to interfere in the Lebanese presidential elections. In a statement, the Lebanese Campaign for the Release of Georges Abdallah said that this visit comes as “the imperialist powers, in particular France, intervene to confirm their colonial role,” denouncing “French interference in Lebanese internal affairs and the visit of the French emissary Le Drian to Beirut, confirming our disgust for all who receive him.”

The statement emphasized the urgency of releasing the Lebanese communist and freedom fighter, Georges Abdallah, jailed in France since 1984 and eligible for release since 1999. It “demands that the struggler Georges Abdallah be considered a political prisoner in France, with all the diplomatic consequences that these words entail between the two countries.” Supporters of the campaign postered on walls from Saida to Tripoli in support of Abdallah, who has become a symbol of French imperialist interference in Lebanon and the ongoing resistance to it.

The full statement follows:

With every internal development, especially in electing a president for the Lebanese Republic, the imperialist powers, especially the French, intervene to confirm their colonial role, joining the actions of their obedient tools inside Lebanon.

On the other hand, France, the “democratic” country, keeps in its dungeons those who refused to indulge in civil war and pursued the Zionist war machine in the heart of imperialism. Yes, while the warlords were implementing plans for internal fighting, there were militants who destroyed the bridges of arms supply to the Zionists, and carried the principle of defending the Palestinian cause and liberating the land and its people… Here, we are specifically dicussing the internationalist struggler Georges Abdallah, the longest-held political prisoner in France and Europe, for 39 years behind bars. The French administration has not yet been able to absorb his freedom of thought!

This symbol of struggle, resistance and the correct representation of the will of the Lebanese people is still arbitrarily detained in his French cell. Therefore, the case of the Lebanese citizen, Georges Abdallah, must receive mandatory follow up! Doesn’t the national interest necessitate the rejection of the reactionary sectarian logic that the French emissary supports with his visit!

Is it reasonable for the French envoy, Jean-Yves Le Drian, to arrive in Lebanon to move the wheel of the presidential election, instead of securing the French Minister of Interior’s signature on the decision to deport Georges Abdallah to his country, to be received and honored as we waited for the celebration of his liberation in 2013?!

The crisis of the capitalist and imperialist system, since the establishment of the Lebanese regime, is rampant through its agents, the princes of the sects who benefit from each other, and they are supported again today by the French administration.

Georges Abdallah, during the civil war, was saving the innocent from the clutches of the monsters driven by this imperialism.

The national campaign to liberate the prisoner, Georges Abdallah, denounces this French interference in the internal Lebanese affairs, and the visit of the French envoy, Le Drian, to the capital Beirut, and confirms its disgust with everyone who receives him and deals with him.

Georges Abdallah did not arrive in Beirut on January 14, 2013, as the French court had approved, because the French government received an order from Hillary Clinton to obstruct the implementation of the judicial decision. This is what happened, and today we consider the imprisonment of Georges Abdallah to be a form of administrative detention.

Therefore, the national campaign demands that the struggler Georges Abdallah be considered a political prisoner in France, with all the diplomatic consequences that these words entail between the two countries.

Repression and Resistance in France: Victory for Salah Hamouri in Lyon; Herault prefecture bans Palestine demonstration

On Thursday, 22 June, the Collectif 69 in Support of the Palestinian People, in Lyon, France, organized a public meeting on colonization and apartheid in occupied Palestine, with guest speakers Jean-Claude Samouiller, the president of Amnesty France, and Salah Hamouri, the French-Palestinian lawyer and former political prisoner who was forcibly deported from Palestine and stripped of his Jerusalem ID by the Israeli occupation regime in December 2022. Since his deportation (and before), he has been a tireless voice throughout France in defense of the Palestinian people, their rights and their liberation.

On 20 June, Lyon mayor Gregory Doucet of the EELV (Greens) party, banned this public event, which was sponsored by 15 organizations and political parties, on the grounds that it would “disturb public order.” As the Committee to Support Salah Hamouri said in a statement, “This is the second time Mr. Doucet took the decision to censor Salah Hamouri, even though the City of Lyon had planned to make him a citizen of honour in December 2022 (ceremony cancelled a few days before).” In a letter addressed to the mayor, the prefect — the local representative of the national government — supported the ban on Salah Hamouri’s presentation, making particularly false and dangerous arguments. As the decolonial Jewish collective Tsedek! wrote, “the prefect justifies the ban by alleged concern for the emotions of the Jewish community, associating this with the rejection of solidarity with the Palestine people. This is a doubly dangerous game, for international solidarity and for the Jews. It mobilizes a fantastical image of a Jewish community unilaterally on the side of Israeli politics…as if the French state had waited for the Jewish community to support Israeli policy and suppress Palestine solidarity.”

The organizers filed an appeal to the administrative court of Lyon, which decreed on Thursday afternoon, just hours before the event, that the order banning the event had been suspended by order of the court. The judge said in her order, “Neither the mayor of the City of Lyon or the prefect of the Rhône credibly allege that Mr. Hamouri, during conferences organized in other cities in France, would have made remarks likely to be sanctioned or to create disturbances to public order.”

On the contrary, the only “disturbances” that have taken place at Salah Hamouri’s events have been physical attacks by Zionists, who threw chairs at the crowd in Toulouse and attempted to attack Hamouri as he spoke.

The legal victory in Lyon is a defeat for those forces that are waging an open campaign to hinder the freedom of expression of French-Palestinian lawyer and former political prisoner Salah Hamouri. This campaign of censorship and intimidation must inspire us to build solidarity with Palestine and the Palestinian prisoners’ movement, of which Salah Hamouri has become an important spokesperson throughout France.

This came just one day before the prefecture in Hérault announced yet another ban on Palestine solidarity activities in France. On Saturday, 24 June, the Montpellier Coalition Against Apartheid had called for a rally against Israeli apartheid and commeorations of “Jerusalem Day,” which glorifies the occupation, annexation and ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem since the 1967 Nakba.

In a particularly outrageous statement, the prefect declared that the demonstration was banned because it “fears the importation into Montpellier of an international conflict and the presentation of discriminatory speeches.”

As the coalition noted in their statement, “These pretexts are just as fallacious as those used in previous bans: ‘importing the conflict,’ ‘Saturday is Shabbat’ and ‘it is the eve of the international observance of Jerusalem Day.’ However, when the French state supports Ukraine or the Town Hall of Montpellier wishes to declare its ‘solidarity with Iranian men and women against obscurantism’, no one accuses them of ‘importing’ or ‘transposing’ these conflicts in France, any more than they are accused of discriminatory speech inciting hatred against the Russian or Iranian population…On the other hand, when some commemorate in Montpelllier the annexation of Jerusalem for 46 years, in tota violation of international law, in the presence of the Israeli consul and representatives of the executive of the Region, of Department 34 and the City of Montpellier, represented by its mayor, those who protest and demand respect for international law, are prohibited from demonstrating on the pretext of ‘incitement to hatred, discrimination, etc.’

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network internationally joins the Collectif Palestine Vaincra, the member organization of our Network based in Toulouse, in denouncing this new attack on organizing for Paletine in France, an attack on the freedom of demonstration that poses a threat to all. We stand in solidarity with the Montpellier Coalition Against Apartheid and we call on all to sign their petition demanding that the Montpellier municipality suspend its ties with Israeli apartheid. Faced with ongoing dissolutions, bans and repression, we must stand together more than ever to challenge these draconian attacks.

Take Action: Send a letter, tell the Canada Pension Plan to divest $10 billion investments in Israeli war crimes!

The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board continues to hold  $10+ B in companies complicit with Israeli war crimes. Samidoun is joining with the Canadian BDS Coalition and Just Peace Advocates to demand the CPPIB divest these funds supporting Zionist colonialism.

CLICK HERE TO SEND YOUR LETTER.

Take one minute to write a letter to Canada Pension Plan Investment Board Chair & CEO to say no to our public pension funds supporting Israeli war crimes.

Despite a promise in 2021 to review its portfolio for companies complicit with war crimes, CPPIB has failed to do so.

CPPIB continues to be invested in seven companies that are on the UN database as complicit with breaking international law, and an additional at least 44 other companies that have been verified as complicit with illegal Israeli occupation. In total, this amounts to more than $10 B investment of public pension funds in Israeli war crimes.

Based on four years of analysis, there has been no significant shift in this investment trend.

WSP, a Montreal-headquartered transnational engineering firm continues to dominate the Canadian equity holdings; in 2022, 105 organizations & many individuals joined to make a submission to the UN to add WSP to its database of corporations directly complicit in Israeli violations of international law, for its role in planning the infamous Jerusalem Light Rail, linking the illegal settlements in the West Bank with occupied Jerusalem.

During the 2022 cross country in person and virtual CPPIB stakeholder meetings, CPPIB executives were reminded of their commitment in 2021 to undertake a review of the CPPIB portfolio for investments complicit with war crimes—it seemed they had forgotten their commitment, but they said they would look into it. We are still waiting!

Of course, the CPPIB’s unethical investments are not limited to companies complicit with war crimes, but are also found in fossil fuels, the military complex, privatization of natural resources in the Global South, mining and so on.

See the full analysis from 2023 CPPIB annual report HERE.

The accountability is ultimately to the CPP’s stewards – the federal Finance Minister and the Finance Ministers of the participating provinces. It is time for these officials to make clear that investments in war crimes are a bad investment for Canadian pensions.

Take Action: Tell Scotiabank Now — Divest from Elbit, Divest from War Crimes! #ShutElbitDown

CLICK HERE TO SEND YOUR LETTER TODAY!

Join the campaign to let Scotiabank know that we are not going to sit idly by while they invest in Israeli war crimes.

In October 2022, Scotiabank’s asset fund put $500 million into the Israeli arms company Elbit Systems Ltd, which amounts to 5% of the company. This also made them the largest foreign investor in a company that profits off Palestinian death.

According to Who Profits, “Elbit is Israel’s biggest military and arms company. The company has a tightly-knit relationship with the Israeli security apparatus…”. Elbit drones were reportedly in use and Elbit personnel part of the operation room of a special drones unit deployed during Israel’s 11-day onslaught against Gaza in May 2021, which left 248 people dead and over 1,900 injured.

There were already attempts to hold Scotiabank to account. At the annual shareholders meeting in April 2023, the group Eko presented a petition with 12,000 signatories calling on them to divest from the firm and all deadly weapons companies. However, according to reports, Scotiabank did not respond directly to questions about Elbit at the meeting, and a bank representative “characterized all fund decisions as being driven by ‘the interests of shareholders’.”

Scotiabank fund manager David Fingold was quite blunt in a 2019 interview about how the defense industry in Israel “will remain strong” and further noted:

“The cycle at Elbit is not connected to the state of the economy, but to the state of global arms procurement, and it can be seen that militaries in both Europe and America continue to arm themselves and in particular need upgrades for their old equipment.”

Teresa Diewert, a member of BDS Vancouver-Coast Salish, pointed out: “While working people struggle to make ends meet, Banks make massive profits while investing in machines of war and death. Scotia Banks’ investment in Elbit Systems makes them complicit in war crimes against the Palestinian people in particular and Canadians should be demanding that Scotia Bank divest from Elbit Systems now.”

Several banks, including HSBC, and sovereign wealth and pension funds in Australia, Sweden and Norway have already divested from Elbit. They realized that investing in war crimes can never be “socially responsible”; send your message now to Scotiabank to demand that they also immediately cancel their huge investment in Elbit Systems.
