I pledge to support the call issued by 170-plus Palestinian civil society institutions for a campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions against the state of Israel, comparable to the campaign that helped bring down South African Apartheid.

Together with these institutions I will support these non-violent measures until Israel complies with international law and respects the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination. This involves:

  • 1  Ending its occupation and colonisation of all Palestinian lands;

  • 2. Recognising the fundamental rights of the Palestinian-Arab citizens of Israel to full equality; and

  • 3. Respecting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN Resolution 194.

I further urge the Irish government to uphold international law and impose sanctions on Israel until Israel complies with the above demands.

Signed:

I hope our government listens for once. Boycott is the only way to get them to listen.
