Tell your MP: VOTE to recognise Palestine

So far over 15,000 of you have emailed your MPs to ask them to vote for Palestine. This is amazing but is only a small proportion of those who receive our updates – so please take action if you haven’t already.
This is important: this is the first opportunity in at least four Parliaments that MPs have had a vote to recognise Palestinians’ right to self-determination.Please make sure that you do all you can to urge your MP to vote for Palestine.

Even if your MP is not usually supportive please do take the time to send them an email, and encourage others you know to do so as well. As this is a backbench debate, MPs will not be obliged by their political parties to vote – so let’s make sure that as many as possible turn up and vote for Palestine.

This week PSC sent an open letter, signed by 7,000 people, to the BBC. The letter calls for the removal of the broadcaster’s Head of Statistics from all reporting on Palestine and Israel.

The demand followed an article published on the BBC website, in which the Head of Statistics, Anthony Reuben, misused Palestinian casualty figures in an attempt to back up Israel’s claims that it had not targeted civilians during its July/August assault on Gaza. |
Hewlett Packard is a US multinational information technology corporation. HP not only profits from developing systems to racially profile Palestinians and track and control their movements, it is also complicit in Israel’s apartheid by supplying the system that helps to restrict Palestinians’ freedom of movement. HP is also contracted to provide the Israeli navy’s IT infrastructure. Find out more about why you should support PSC’s upcoming campaign against HP.
