PICKET OF DAVIS CUP BRITAIN-ISRAEL MATCH AT DEVONSHIRE PARK, EASTBOURNE


BRIGHTON AND HOVE PALESTINE SOLIDARITY CAMPAIGN TO PICKET ISRAEL/BRITAIN DAVIS CUP MATCH IN EASTBOURNE

PICKET OF DAVIS CUP BRITAIN-ISRAEL MATCH AT DEVONSHIRE PARK, EASTBOURNE

12 NOON – SATURDAY 22ND JULY
11.30AM – SUNDAY 23RD JULY (organised by Justice not Vengeance)


On Saturday 22nd July and Sunday 23rd July the Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) and the Boycott Israeli Goods Campaign (BIG) call on activists nationwide to join a picket of the Israel-Britain Davis Cup tennis tournament in Eastbourne.

The PSC and the BIG campaign are responding to calls from Palestine and Israel calling for a boycott of Israel until it complies with international law and universal principles of human rights. The boycott includes an academic, cultural and sporting boycott. The call for an international boycott has been signed by 180 civil society organisations in Palestine.

Israel is currently engaged in a murderous assault on Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank. On Thursday Israeli bombardment killed 57 civilians in Lebanon, and 13 civilians in Marghaza Camp, Gaza. Israeli troops also invaded Nablus and mounted several offences in the West Bank killing 13.

Activists plan to stage a picket outside the grounds and to hand Palestinian flags to fans to wave during the game.

The action is part of a wider campaign to build a mass boycott movement against apartheid Israel.

2. The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) aims to raise public awarenessabout the occupation of Palestine and the struggle of the Palestinian people. PSC seek to bring pressure on both the British and Israeli government to bring their policies in line with international law. PSC is an independent, non-governmental and non-party political organisation with members from communities across Britain.

3. On 9th June 2005 a coalition of Palestinian Civil Society Organisations
issued a ‘Call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel until
it complies with International Law’.
See  http://www.stopthewall.org/downloads/pdf/BDSEnglish.pdf for the full
statement and signatories.

4. Israel occupied the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights in 1967 in
contravention of international law.

Since then Israel has moved over 380,000 settlers into these occupied
territories in contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention (article 49),
the Hague Regulations and United Nations Security Council Resolutions.

Israel continues to build an illegal apartheid wall inside the West Bank
despite the Advisory Ruling of the International Court of Justice in 2005
that the wall is illegal. Fifty five illegal Israeli settlements will be
on the Israeli side of the wall separated from the West Bank.

Since 2000 Israel has demolished 628 Palestinian houses, home to 3, 983
people, in acts of collective punishment. These demolitions constitute a
war crime. (Above statistics confirmed by Israeli Information Centre
Btselem see www.btselem.org)

3, 808 Palestinians have been killed as a direct result of Israeli
military actions and 29, 456 injured during the current upraising which
began in September 2000.
