Dublin 7 for Palestine: Petition to Boycott Israeli Products
Boycott Israeli products until Israel complies with International Law and Universal Principles of Human Rights, including the dismantling of its apartheid system.
Why is this important?
Concerned residents urgently call for local businesses to boycott Israeli products until Israel complies with International Law and Universal Principles of Human Rights and its apartheid system is dismantled.
Since* October 7th, Israel has:
Continuously bombarded the densely populated Gaza Strip, killing over 27,000 Palestinians, of which over 10,000 are children.
Engaged in the collective punishment of Gaza’s population through cutting off food, water, electricity, and fuel. This is a war crime, as is wilfully blocking humanitarian relief from reaching civilians in need.
Used white phosphorus, a chemical that ignites when in contact with oxygen, causing horrific and severe burns, on densely populated neighbourhoods. White phosphorus can burn down to the bone and burns to 10% of the human body are often fatal.
Displaced over 2 million Gazans from their homes and have turned the majority of buildings to rubble.
The International Court of Justice has found that a plausible case that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. However, Israel is continuing its offensive, with support from the US. It is essential that we act and increase the international pressure in the form of a boycott to stop the genocide, and to push for Palestinian liberation and the dismantling of Israeli Apartheid
once a ceasefire is called.
Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a peaceful, effective Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. It asserts that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity. It has proven to be the most effective, non-violent approach to demand these rights.
