Name: Susan Roebuck on Feb 22, 2010Comments: Olive oil production provides an essential part of the West Bank economy. In buying this oil, British shoppers wil be helping the farmers of Palestine to make a living. We do want their products, we do buy their products and so please let them promote their goods in the UK.Flag

Name: Anonymous on Feb 22, 2010Comments: At a time when olive harvesting has reached abysmally low proportions in Palestine owing to the military situation, it would only be fair that the UK government allowed these three farmers to participate in the Fair Trade fortnight to help them make their products better known to UK customers. This, really, is the meaning of fair trade.Flag

Name: Mrs Pearl Teasdale on Feb 22, 2010Comments: Does Gordon Brown really know about this refusal to allow the Palestinian farmers to come to England or has the decision been made by someone in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office? It would be interesting to know why the farmers have been refused permission. I am surprised to see that KitKat is now a Fairtrade product - isn't it produced by Nestle?Flag

Name: David Midgley on Feb 22, 2010Comments: I am outraged that the FCO sees fit to deny entry to the UK to representatives of Zeytoun which was personally praised by Gordon Brown as an example of Fair Trade. The public will assume that this discriminatory action is prompted by pressure from the Israeli authorities who are denying basic human rights including access to water to Palestinians, destroying their means of livelihood and carrying out economic genocide against the Palestinian people. Please immediately reverse this unjust decision.Flag

Name: Diana Neslen on Feb 22, 2010Comments: It is absurd that Palestinians are denied visas to come to Britain. In fact this is part of British discrimination against Palestinians, that has continued for some considerable time. It is time that Britain should re-examine the visa system with respect to Palestinians which is in place while Israelis, whose government abuses British passports have no such constraints placed on them.Flag

Name: Deana Said on Feb 22, 2010Comments: I went on a Zaytoun Tour and met many of the fair trade farmers cooperatives. The work they do is fantastic and the effort they put into make high quality products is inspiring. They should definitely be allowed into the country as we don't want to damage the special relationship the UK has with the Middle East, especially seeing how it is such an important partner for peace. This comment is laced with sarcasm, seeing how the government wants to allow, and in fact encourages, Israeli officials that have had arrest warrants raised on war crimes, to come to the UK. It is ridiculous that these Palestinian farmers have had their visas denied.Flag

Name: Anne Roby on Feb 22, 2010Comments: The farmers are not responsible for the behaviour of some Palestinian s in power. Many Palestinian arabs and Christians are denied access to their own land. Life is hard especially if they live near the wall which is imoral, and causes unair hardship. Fairtrade goods shoulo be encouraged. We do not know these three men, butthere has to be trust to achieve justice especially in such a land where there is active persecution of ancient rights. Please allow them entry.Flag

Name: Penny Leigh-Brown on Feb 22, 2010Comments: I am so sad that our government seems to be so much in tune with the government of Israel, in encouraging a culture of mistrust and oppression against an entire people, in order to justify the illegal and vindictive actions of a few extreme right wing Zionists. I suggest Gordon Brown and the British Government (in spite of their clear bias ) looks a bit more closely at what is really happening here and shows a bit more courage in their dealings with the present Government of Israel, instead of using the poorest and hardest-working people as pawns in a wicked political game.Flag
