The Committee for the Families of Palestinian Political Prisoners is calling for solidarity from the international community to put pressure on Israel to respect human rights. You can help by:

1. Demonstrating – 11am Saturday 04 September at the Israeli Embassy, Ballsbridge – organised by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign and supported by the Irish Anti-War Movement. (NOTE: this demo will be followed by the IPSC's AGM at 2pm.)

2. Contacting the Israeli Embassy in Dublin and demand that Israel respects international law. Let them know that you will refuse to buy any Israeli produce until such as time as Israel agrees to justice for the Palestinians. The Embassy can be contacted by:
phone: 01 - 230 9400
fax: 01 - 230 9446
email: info@dublin.mfa.gov.il
post: Carrisbrook House, 122 Pembroke Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4

3. Contacting the Department of Foreign Affairs and demanding that the Irish Government calls for a suspension of the Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement (whereby Israel receives preferential trade terms with EU states) until Israel abides by international law.

4. Boycotting all Israeli produce. Unlike Apartheid South Africa, when many Irish businesses refused to stock apartheid goods, Irish supermarkets sell a large amount of fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs produced by Israel (often produced in illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories). Use your consumer power and refuse to buy goods from countries which ignore international law.

5. Writing a letter of support to Palestinian prisoners. Email palprisoner@yahoo.com or fax to 00 353 1 928 752 8355. These will be forwarded to the prisoners' families.
