Have you made an appointment to lobby your MP on Palestine?
|
 Israel has announced another round of settlement building, while ordering house demolitions in East Jerusalem and the Hebron area. These actions coincide with the release of 26 Palestinian prisoners as part of the ‘peace negotiations’.
In the same week dozens of settler attacks have taken place against Palestinians and their olive groves, and the Israeli army killed a 20 year old man near Jenin this morning.
Now more than ever we need to stand up for human rights and justice for the Palestinian people and demonstrate to MPs that international support for Palestinian human rights is at an all time high.
Please commit today to joining the lobby of Parliament on the afternoon of Wednesday 27th November.
Take a few minutes today to make an appointment with your MP using our easy e-tool
Dozens of MPs have been asked for meetings so far – the furthest being in Northern Ireland and the closest being Westminster.

Tell the BBC: Jerusalem is not an Israeli city
|
|
In an onine article entitled ‘Jerusalem: Communities up close’, the BBC almost had it right in terms of tone and balance.
But then came a BBC classic with this line: ‘According to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, Jerusalem is Israel’s largest city’
As PSC constantly reminds the BBC, Jerusalem is not an Israeli city. It is divided, and its final status is yet to be decided. By referrring to Jerusalem as an Israeli city, the BBC is making a political statement.
Please write to the BBC, referencing the online article, and ask why it is ignoring international law and international opinion by making such a reference.
